This is a music program that allows you to play RAD Tracker files.
At this stage, only RAD v1.0 files are played.
To load a new song, press and the file menu will appear. If an SD Card is present, the list of the SD Card files will be shown. Use the Up and Down arrows to select a file, and then press <Enter/CR>.
To start playing the song, press <Enter/CR>. Press <Enter/CR> to stop.
To continue playing (instead of starting from the beginning), press <Enter/CR>.
You can view the other patterns by pressing the <+> and <-> keys. You can view the instruments by pressing the the <[> and <]> keys.
You can play and test the instruments using the keyboard keys as illustrated below.
You need to copy your songs to an SD Card. The SD Card partitions currently supported are FAT12 and FAT16, up to 2GB.
Editing is not coded yet. Be patient, it's coming. Currently, using the <`> (back tick) highlights the selected editing mode: Instrument, Order and Pattern.
Only the OPL2 mode is supported at this time. Once the RAD Track v2.0 file format is implemented, the OPL3 features of the Foenix will be exercised.
Only RAD Tracker v1.0 format is supported at this time. I'm planning on implementing v2.0 soon.
Let me know if you want another format, e.g. I'll probably add the MIDI format as well.
When you select a file, the file format is shown after the file name, as v1 or v2.
Other files will probably crash the program...
MIDI messages are received at this time. You need a device capable of producing MIDI messages and connect to the MIDI IN port on the Foenix. When a NOTE ON message is sent, the C256 tracker will play the matching note with the currently selected instrument.
