Free 3rd party companions for the Polyend Tracker

I found these tools very interesting. Any other interesting known free companion tools?

pti-file-inspector
View (and listen to) .pti files in your browser. [import / export]

Note: I was not able to import a Tracker plus .pti. [Maybe it works with Tracker non-plus pti?]

Create beat sliced instruments for the Polyend Tracker in the browser. Load audio files and export a perfectly sliced .pti file.

The problems about many of these free GitHub based project is that they requires extra knowledge in regard to setup, if they are not already browser-based.

Another Great One is WaveEdit for creating custom Wavetables
It’s a free standalone app.

You can download a hughe amount of cool Wavetables for free here

Learning about Wavetables was a gamechanger for me using the OG Tracker.

As we are talking of free tools that make for good companions, I can highly recommend:

  • Renoise - Has a trial (no time limit) and the integrated sample editor allows you to create/draw/build your own single cycle waveforms. Spice things up by adding an FX Chain and bake it into the sample. And of course export them as .wav.

  • Vital - Free VST/Standalone synth. Often compared to Phaseplant. Has an integrated wavetable editor that is easy to use. Tip: use your single cycle waveforms in here to create wavetables.

  • Ocenaudio - A free and easy to use Sample Editor alternative to all the other stuff out there.

Was considering writing or making a tutorial if that is of interest to anyone.

I love Renoise as DAW software. I ran a cracked version for very long time and at a certain time, I just bought the full licence due to that I was very happy about it and didnt want to wait for the latest version to get cracked too :slight_smile:

LMK if you encounter any issues with my stuff (Adrian A)

Came across xmodits today (have not tried it tho)

A tool to rip samples from tracker modules. Supports IT, XM, S3M, MOD, UMX and MPTM formats.

Might be useful if you need to extract samples from other tracker formats.

for me, it’s Audacity

I love this tool, very simple but can still execute very complex tasks

Akaizer is also a nice free tool to get the classic Akai Time stretch from core audio files
