The development of Radium started in 1999 on the Amiga platform. Since then it has been ported to Linux and Windows.
looks like an interesting tracker initially coded for amiga then ported to linux/min/mac, however using the jack server on windows instead of dealing with the directsound api is counter-intuitive ; I had lots of errors during the jack server install …
Woah cool, looks like a screen shot of renoise wish-list features! Surprised I never heard of this before. I like to find these lost/underappreciated tracker programs (although I probably end up spending more time looking for them than working with them).
Oohh, this wonderful modular fx routing, like back in days in Buzz! That objective approach is so superior to all other. And automation drawing directly in the pattern, wow. + Wave preview inplace (don’t like this transforms). Awesome. Sadly no native OSX version, only some wrapped version, that feels like an alien element in the os.
The biggest news this time is the ability to run Radium without Jack. The reason for this is that there have been numerous reports of trouble with running Jack on Windows, experienced both by myself and by others, and one report of trouble running Jack on MacOS.
I can kinda-sorta sequence a few notes in Radium for Mac. It’s still really beta, cuz OpenGL on Big Sur. It starts up and works. Still too abstract, too many visuals to look at.
God damn, their little granular section is kick ASS though!
If we could just have that little section in Renoise, oh man, the sequencing that could be done with that and any little loop, editing the sliders via tracker commands…. It’s just so beautiful. Please, may we have that native? Or a native module that does that, to use anywhere?
