Funny you should bring this up. I was just looking at integrating
trackers and Pd. Me also != a coder so I wasn't going the programming route. But was tinkering around with MIDI trackers and maybe thinking of just importing the MIDI files to xeq to trigger... whatever.
What I did get working so far, which has been pretty fun, is using
the tracker live to trigger the angriff drums. But maybe a better use, and truer to tracker style, would be just to use a VST sampler in Pd... of course, then I might as well just use buzz.
If you do want to check out MIDI trackers, at least in windows,
take a look at ztracker. My best find so far. It takes MIDi time clock info, so there might be a way to directly use that to control the tracker's play position from Pd, sync it, etc. dunno, still exploring this...

hi all,
i was randomly surfing the net again and found this http://www.mikmod.org/ a module player library for many os, and i remembered that i have over 600 modules that i created on the old 386/486 days :) but sadly i'm not a coder (yet/maybe) so i dont know(exactly) how i could use this to make an external for PD... i read the manuals of mikmod and was pleased that it has the functions what i would love to control trough pd, "setPosition" & "muteChannel"...
so if theres any tracker/pd freaks with coding skills, i would love to see this external... otherwise i code it my self, but it WILL last a while..
cheers -andre ps. if some1 is interested on my old modules, i can upload some of them on my server for free usage...
