TCB TRACKER ARRIVES!!
*********************
Get ready to rock! The hottest music program to hit Europe is now
available. PDC is the exclusive North American distributor and supporter
of TCB Tracker. In fact, TCB Tracker is so hot that it was officially
named the best music program of 1990 in Europe.
What is TCB Tracker? It's a four track music record and playback
system that includes a drum machine, sequencer, and synthesizer all built
in. In essence, it's a complete mixing studio. The notes played are all
digitized sound, so the end results are crystal clear. It allows you to
create real digital songs, mix existing songs, or use samples for your own
programs -- all in digital sound quality.
Demos (both graphics and sound) are the hottest thing in Europe. The
premiere demo maker, "AN Cool" Nilsson, a Swedish 18 year old created TCB
Tracker to facilitate his demo creations (see ST Format article enclosed
for full story on Nilsson). For example, the Samantha Fox demo is an
example of AN Cool's fine craftsmanship. The digitized sound sample was
easily created with TCB Tracker. In fact, doing so was the most basic of
processes. Much more complex sounds are possible, such as the Dragnet
theme song.
TCB Tracker will appeal to a wide audience, from the music-novice to
advanced programmers. For the MIDI musician it has full MIDI compatibili-
ty. Included for the programmer is assembly and GFA BASIC source code to
play songs/sounds in their own programs (for both the ST and STe). In
fact, every major European software house is now using TCB Tracker to
create music in their programs. STe users will enjoy full Stereo support,
as well as Bass and Treble controls. For the novice a tutorial is incl-
uded in the manual, a help function is offered, and technical support is
available; using it is a breeze.
TCB Tracker is quick and simple and it uses only about 29% of the com-
puter's processing time. Amiga digitized sounds are compatible. TCB
Tracker is fully mouse and icon controlled with keyboard shortcuts for
more advanced users. It works on all ST computers from the 520 STFM to
the Mega 4 STe (a color monitor is required). No additional equipment is
needed -- it sounds great through the monitor speaker and it pumps with
additional speakers hooked up.
PDC has slashed the retail price of TCB Tracker from the projected
price of $99.95 to $69.95. Additional song disks are available in a 10
disk set for $39.95. We will be fully supporting users by offering tech-
nical support, newsletters, additional sample/module disks, and much more.
