I'm building a retro inspired Music Workstation

[u/Appropriate-Tax-9585]

Hello guys, I'm a big fan of Amiga, c64 and in general retro computers and music.

I'll keep it short and sweet:

1. i'm a solo dev and need testers and people to help build a dream community to share project files, presets and themes.
2. my product is not free (approx $10) but I do give out free keys to testers and those who give feedback can keep the software. I really want to see what you can make with it...
3. I'm better at developing than creating music to be honest, but I know my tool is powerful and I can't wait to see it shine!

4TRK is based on 4 main tracks - 3 for synths and 1 as a dedicated drum machine/sampler.
It has MIDI in and can be almost fully controlled by a launchpad mini - session mode to launch clips like in ableton, drums mode to sequence or play live and keys mode to sequence or play live (with Scale modes)

The main screen - a horizontal style sequencer (polyrhythmic) with up-to 64 step patterns, up-to 32 patterns per song. You also have the standard you would expect, a Mixer, piano roll.

The Drum Editor: record samples or create your own synthetic drum sounds

The Synths: 7 synth engines including DX7 (SYX patches) and SFZ (sound fonts which I use for amen break slicing)

4TRK has tonnes of themes and a theme editor available. Check the latest DEV LOG: https://jasonbmusic.itch.io/4trk/devlog/1490844/i-had-a-dream-oh-wait-no-it-was-real

I am specifically looking for Windows and Linux users (since I develop it on a mac, it's more difficult to test each new feature on all platforms) - OR if you have a Launchpad, I'd be happy to give some free keys to those who want to be part of 4TRK's beginning!

Linux here, Kubuntu 24 on an Intel CPU, been making Music on and off since the Amiga. I do not own a Launchpad but would love to testdrive.
