Hey!

NXModPlayer fot the ZX Spectrum Next!

This is an Amiga Protacker MOD player that works natively on your Next, no need for pi0s!

Underneath the hood the is Amiga Paula emulation driving the audio and the mod engine has been ported from the original Amiga 68K sources by 9bitcolor.

2MB recommended, its plays using all 4 DACs at 28KHz

I don't have a next but I've spend much time with MOD trackers and its good you made one for a Zx machine



Btw, as related content I would like to post this online tracker that I have discovered ( protracker/fasttracker compatible

This is the best app I've tried on my xberry pi yet. Do you plan to release the source code?

Any plans to turn this into a full tracker so we can write our own mods with it?

Thanks

[danboid]

He already has released the source, it turns out

Yay!

Glad you like it. That's only the source for the mod engine by Kev, I still need to release the source for the actual NXModPlayer but its in a half state at the moment as I was in the middle of adding 80 column mode but got distracted...

The engine is the key bit. It could well be getting reused in symbos when prodatron has wrote a mixer for the Nexts DAC. Apparently it can already play mods on some other platforms with the right sound hardware.

What is the CPU speed needed for this player?

Lanex coded a memory resident and BASIC complaint MOD player for the eLeMeNt ZX and its SoundDMA (also based on m68k sources).
Runs on basic 3.5 MHz.

For the sake of comparison (although the hardware is different), I am curious...

Incredible, this all makes me nostalgic for my years using Amigas and Octamed
