Nepper

OPL2/3 tracker that runs on IBM XT and its clones.

Source code: https://github.com/Kagamma/nepper

Motivation: I just want a tracker that can run on my Book 8088 laptop, which is basically an IBM XT clone with a built-in OPL3 chip.

The UI of the program is inspired by Faust Music Creator, while its playback engine is more in line with Adlib Tracker II.

The program supported both OPL2 and OPL3 4-Op mode.

Supported file formats:

• .NTR (Nepper's TRack) [R/W]
• .NIS (Nepper's InStrument) [R/W]
• .RAD (Reality AdLib Tracker v1) [R]

While the program can load RAD files, it might sound weird due to incompatible playback engine.

Documentation:

• See FORMAT.TXT for NTR file format, INSTR.TXT and PATTERN.TXT for how to use the program.
• You can also access INSTR.TXT and PATTERN.TXT in Nepper by pressing F1.
