Clemons Retro Player

A retro-inspired player for classic tracker modules and home computer chip music, with demoscene-style visualisers. A tracker module isn't a recording. It's rendered live from its own pattern data — the notes, instruments and effects the composer typed in — so what you see scrolling past is what is driving the sound. Some of it goes further still. A SID, SAP or SNDH file carries the composer's own machine code, and the app runs it: an emulated 6502 or 68000 driving an emulated SID, POKEY or YM2149, the way the machine did. FORMATS Tracker modules: MOD, MED and OKT from the Amiga, XM, IT and S3M from the PC demoscene, plus MTM, STM, PTM, MDL, DBM, DIGI, IMF, PSM, ULT, GDM, MO3, FAR, J2B, AMF, DMF and around twenty-five more. Chip music: SID (Commodore 64), SAP (Atari 8-bit), SNDH and YM (Atari ST), 4V (Quartet). Ordinary audio too: WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A and FLAC. THE DISPLAY A live pattern view for tracker modules that scrolls smoothly in time with the music, showing the real note, instrument and effect columns — the same data the tracker wrote, not a decoration. VISUALISERS Thirteen effects, available for every format and every one of them full screen: analog needle VU meters, a retro stereo LED VU in dBFS with peak hold, bouncing balls — one per voice, jumping on the note onsets — an LED spectrum, a fine-bar analyser, a dot tunnel in four variants that follows the music, and the Synthdiva: a dancer who tracks the tempo and keeps the beat. And a Light Show of four effects in flowing light and colour: ink blooming under a rippling water surface, an electric storm, a drifting nebula and a neon vortex. EVERYTHING ELSE Playlists you can save and reload. A ten-band EQ with presets. Two skins — a studio rack and classic brushed metal. Tap the clock to see time remaining. Background playback with lock screen controls. Keyboard shortcuts on iPad. NO STRINGS No ads. No accounts. No analytics. No network code at all — the app has never made a connection and cannot. Your files stay on your device, and everything works offline. Built by one person who grew up with this music.
