- There is a PD extension called STOSTRAK (aka STOS TRACKER) by Francios
- Lionet which allows you to play AMOS .ABK tracker files from STOS. Included
- in the package is a converter from Noisetracker .MOD to AMOS .ABK.
-
- The extension adds several commands to STOS Basic, and includes the
- relevant compiler extensions, too.
-
- The quality of playback is severely reduced if you want to do other things
- at the same time (eg. scroller, sprites etc.), but hey, you can't have
- everything.
-
- This is available from most UK PD libraries; I know Goodmans have it for
- sure, 'cos I wrote the text file for them!
-
- Anyone needing help with the STOS tracker should contact me, as I have a
- fair degree of experience with it (check out my Budgie progs).
