Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : soundtracker Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : Michael Krause <rawst...@soundtracker.org>, Yury Alyaev <muta...@rambler.ru> * URL : http://www.soundtracker.org/ * License : GPL 2 Programming Lang: C Description : Fasttracker II compatible music sequencer and sampler
SoundTracker is a music sequencer and sampler (aka tracker), that allows to play and edit Fasttracker II modules in the .xm file format and to import Protracker modules in the .mod format. A module is a music file that contains notes and samples. Why is this package useful? The package is useful for people who work with this music format. Is it a dependency for another package? No. Do you use it? Yes. How does it compare to other packages? * xmp can play .xm files, but not edit them * milkytracker provides similar functionality but with a different GUI. * milkytracker’s timing is less accurate than that of soundtracker, so modules with sung parts might play out of sync. It is therefor not an alternative for .xm files containing sung parts or other long samples. Up to version 0.6.8, soundtracker was already in Debian, and has been removed in 2009. It was propably dropped due to its dependency on GTK1. The current version 1.0.0 depends on libgtk2.0-dev libasound2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libaudiofile-dev libgoocanvas-dev Cordially, Thomas
