Tracking
software for VST hosts
Tracking is a method for computer music almost as mature and time-honoured
as MIDI. Sometimes better, sometimes not so - always different.
Tracking has to date been the remit of dedicated underground
[freeware] software called "Trackers", particular examples
of which (eg. Fast Tracker, Impulse Tracker) have
almost acrued cult-status with multi-million strong user-bases.
The integration of the Tracker architecture (notably its User Interface*)
in sequencer software, will bring the best of both worlds to the
composer. |

Sequenced and "tracked" music will be feasible
within a single work. Composers can rely on the MIDI support
and score facility of sequencers and/or
turn to reViSiT for finer control of their music and audio.

The net result of a tracker, like all music applications,
is audio. However, depsite the name, trackers should
be likened to a software-sampler rather than a multi-track
recorder. Inside a sequencer, reViSiT users will have full
run of the hosts facilities in this department.

Though "tracked" music has often been combined
with video, no freely-available software exists
to this end. reViSiT will be able to use any such facilities in
the host sequencer.

The reViSiT interface is based on that of Impulse Tracker II, a
development of Scream Tracker III.
