/\u003e\n\n[ProTracker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protracker) is music sequencer software\nfrom the 1990s on the [Commodore Amiga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga)\n(see screenshot of version 2.3a on the right).\nThis R package is designed to read, process and play ProTracker module audio files.\n\n## Installation\n\n\u003e Get CRAN version\n```{r eval=FALSE}\ninstall.packages(\"ProTrackR\")\n```\n\u003e Get development version from R-Universe\n``` r\ninstall.packages(\"ProTrackR\", repos = c('https://pepijn-devries.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nThe package comes bundled with a tiny chiptune, which can easily be played like so:\n\n```{r play_intro, eval=FALSE}\nlibrary(ProTrackR) |\u003e\n  suppressMessages()\ndata(\"mod.intro\")\n\nplayMod(mod.intro, verbose = FALSE)\n```\n\nThere are plethora of module files available on-line as well. Below you can see how\nyou can download such a file. It also show how you can select an audio sample\n(number 25) from the module and calculate its power spectrum:\n\n```{r power_cyberride}\nelekfunk \u003c- read.module(\"https://api.modarchive.org/downloads.php?moduleid=41529#elektric_funk.mod\")\n\nspec \u003c- elekfunk |\u003e\n  PTSample(25) |\u003e\n  waveform() |\u003e\n  tuneR::powspec(wintime = 0.1, steptime = 0.001)\n\nimage(log10(spec), col = hcl.colors(100, palette = \"Inferno\"))\n```\n\nWhile we are at it, why not play it:\n\n```{r play_cyberride, eval=FALSE}\nplayMod(elekfunk, verbose = FALSE)\n```\n\n## Package status and alternatives\n\nThis package is no longer actively developed. It will receive minimal attention and\nonly required updates for the latest CRAN policies. It is surpassed by the alternatives\nlisted below.\n\n * [ProTrackR2](https://pepijn-devries.github.io/ProTrackR2/):\n     A complete rewrite in C and\n     C++ of the current package using the\n     [ProTracker clone](https://github.com/8bitbubsy/pt2-clone)\n     by Olav Sørensen. It has similar features as the current package but has\n     a better implementation of the tracker interpretation and is a lot faster.\n * [openmpt](https://pepijn-devries.github.io/openmpt/):\n     An R port of [libopenmpt](https://lib.openmpt.org/libopenmpt/). It plays\n     and renders a wide range of tracker music files, but they cannot be edited.\n\n## Further reading\n\nFor some further reading and inspiration please have a look at the following blog\narticles:\n\n * [Chiptunes in R (1)](https://r-coders-anonymous.blogspot.com/2015/09/protrackr-chiptunes-in-r-part-one.html)\n * [Chiptunes in R (2)](https://r-coders-anonymous.blogspot.com/2015/11/protrackr-chiptunes-in-r-part-two.html)\n * [Chiptunes in R (3)](https://r-coders-anonymous.blogspot.com/2016/11/protrackr-chiptunes-in-r-part-three.html)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpepijn-devries%2Fprotrackr","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpepijn-devries%2Fprotrackr","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpepijn-devries%2Fprotrackr/lists"}
