8bitPoet Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I've tried a variety of trackers and tools for generating music on the 2600. Some are more cumbersome than useful. Others are closer to toys than tools. My perfect TIA Tracker would have: - A familiar piano roll interface you'd see in some midi interfaces - Copy & Paste functionality - Internal playback so it doesn't have to launch an emulator - 1 or 2 Channels - Export volume, control, frequency, duration in sdata format for use in batari Basic What features would you like to see in a tool like this? I made this mockup to help visualize what it could look like. Unfortunately, I'm a better designer than I am a developer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an app developer, but as a UX/UI designer, I've been thinking about tools that could make Atari 2600 game dev a bit easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe somebody will pick this project up and take it on as a challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to Google FamiStudio It's awesome! 😃 Now I want to steal the sequencer feature for the TIA Tune Tracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's free and open-source, so go for it...within reason of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
