AMBER OPL Tracker

iPad / Musique

Make real FM chiptunes — right on the legendary OPL3 sound chip.

AMBER OPL Tracker is a hardware-style music tracker built around the OPL3 (the FM chip behind the Sound Blaster and countless DOS games and demos). Powered by cycle-accurate Nuked OPL3 emulation, every note is genuine FM synthesis — no samples.

Compose like it's 1993, on a glowing amber CRT bolted into a worn wooden console, with a tape deck, a beeper LCD, and a chunky game controller. Then take it anywhere on your iPad.

— FAST GAMEPAD WORKFLOW —
Built for the LSDJ / M8 way of working: drive everything from the D-pad and A button. Move the cursor, punch in notes, and nudge values with A + arrows. Copy and paste lines, tracks or whole patterns in a couple of taps.

— TRUE OPL3 FM SYNTHESIS —
• 18 FM channels of authentic OPL3 sound
• Full 2-operator instrument editor: attack, decay, sustain, release, KSL, multiplier, feedback, FM/AM connection, waveforms, tremolo & vibrato
• Tweak every operator and hear it instantly

— A COMPLETE TRACKER —
• Pattern editor with column-aware copy/paste
• Song / order editor with adjustable tempo, speed and BPM
• On-screen piano with octave control and record mode
• The full Adlib Tracker 2 effect command set — arpeggio, portamento, vibrato, tremolo, volume & frequency slides, retrigger, set waveform, and many more, with on-LCD effect help

— ADLIB TRACKER 2 COMPATIBLE —
Load and save .a2m and .a2t files. Bring in your old AT2 tunes, or export and share what you make.

— PURE RETRO FEEL —
Amber monochrome interface, CRT glow, dot-matrix beeper readout and a tactile console UI designed for touch.

Whether you're a chiptune producer, or just curious about FM synthesis, AMBER OPL Tracker puts a real OPL3 studio in your hands.

Made by an indie developer and musician. No ads, no tracking, no nonsense — just FM.
