Arguru's FastF@ck3r 1.5 Win32 (2000) The Boldest Naming Convention>>>

YEEeeeahh.. Let’s cover FastF@ck3r… Been messing with it lately too, I think everyone should make a tune in it to honor the late Arguru who will have been gone now for 20 years as of next year… How time flies!.. We’ll ALL be joining him soon…

But Arguru who really was the grand daddy of Renoise with the open sourcing of NoiseTrekker 2 which became NoiseTrekker 3.2.2 with the Renoise team but had not completed gender reassignment yet until early Renoise made many trackers back then, very busy 1999-2002…

So to get it outta the way there is no ‘@’ it’s definitely a ‘U’ so to be clear about the name-

And the modules naming convention-

We don’t see such boldness anymore… How sad…

So FastF@ck3r is pretty good… It can use VSTi & VST so far it’s been better than expected using plugs especially for being coded in 2000 when plugins in most anything were ‘iffy’… Nice thing is that you can automate your VSTi Params in it (But NOT VST Params)… If you try mounting a VST to a different track Just for automation there is always a crash… But VSTi can use however many tracks for automation…

I tried the ‘Tweaking’ of sliders but could not get it to work but found just laying out values & then interpolating was as fast as anything else… Of course this gives you the sawtooth ramp-up-down curve but it’s easy to place a shorter one ontop of that to make it more like a curve…

Will test plugin ‘chainers’ so far MultiFXVST is working fine which allows access to internal presets plus able to open/save FXB/FXP… But it’s for FX only, not VSTi… Plus you hafta save your ‘chain’ & reopen it when opening tune… The nice thing is that if you have a clever chain of FX you can then thusly use that chain in another song… MultiFXVST is freeware…

it takes awhile to figure out how to hook things up right but I will be explaining that… When it’s all worked out I will upload it to archive.organism with whatever extras…

Onward we flow… OK here’s some tuts, one a GIF… Nice thing is that by learning FastFuck3r You are also learning TraxVox which is same tracker… Rather picky with VSTi mostly as many plugs present a ‘combo note run-on’ where certain notes hit will persist even when new note is hit & even hitting stop play does not work… The only way to rectify such appears to be placing a note-off right before each & every new note which alters the way the note sounds in most cases…

A few things first-

Now we wanna add ReFX Claw VSTi here is how-

FFR-Claw

After going thru some possibilities it looks like simply having a copy of Savihosts EXE in with the plugins where you can quickly rename the EXE to your plugin name you wish to view presets works fastest & best…

Also yesterday tested ALL the VSTi from Full Bucket Music & roughly a good half passed in FastFuck3r with flying colors inc save-reload song with saved sound playing as was saved…

Now in each & everyone of these the display will reset but correct sound will play so who cares? This is alot of sound generation for free in a 26 year-old tracker which it’s amazing it runs anything & that currently there are VSTi that are still being developed that work in it…

You gotta get the ‘older windows version with non-resizable GUI’ the others ain’t gonna work…

These are the one’s that worked, I tested ALL of them from there>>>
