I remember from old times that there was a MOD tracker capable to play MODs via PC Speaker. A program for DOS.
I've checked out the ScreamTracker 3 but it uses only SoundBlaster and Gravis.
Seems like a link to ScreamTracker 2 is dead.
Maybe anybody might have ScreamTracker 2 or any editor else, to make MODs with PC Speaker?

ft2 had pc speaker output which i used immensely at one point

Ah, so the solution was so close! :)
Thank you very much, I will test it soon. :)

I think "Goldplay" or "Goldplayer" was able to do that too.

I've also used Impulse Tracker on a PC Speaker.

I remember someone also build a tracker ONLY for pc speakers :)

Fasttracker 1 also has PC speaker output (not that it's worth using, but anyway). Apart from that, Impulse Tracker of course \o/

The Tracker is here

"The" tracker? There's more than just one tracker for the PC Speaker.

I feel old knowing this, but you might be talking about ModEdit, which I used many years ago to produce truly atrocious modules... It even got its own page on Wikipedia.

Fast Tracker II also supports PC Speaker output.

Aaaand fuck me for not reading the thread.

Inertia Player could do it too

uh, not tracking, playing that is :D

I remember a "VangelisTracker" for MS-DOS with PC speaker support.

When I was a poor 12 year old who couldn't afford a sound blaster, I had spliced the pc speaker wire to the aux input of a stereo, got decent sound out of it actually.

addendum: using scream tracker 2.25.

Modedit also worked with the pc speaker. Made a few tunes with it back in the day. Of course, you could argue that its more of an editor than a tracker :-)

Yesterday i made a Covox soundcard thing which is working suprisingly well in FastTracker2 on a pretty old laptop.

pc speaker was for lamers, the real thing at the time was to build the infamous 8bit DAC and connect it to the LPT? parallel port. I was a lamer, tho.

oh man, we posted about the same thing at the same time! :)

Pretty much ANY player from 1990-94 was able to use the PC speaker or Covox-boxes.

question is. you live in 2010. why on earth do you need a mod player that plays with pc-speaker?

\o/ covox boxes :)

i made one of those at school

Trackers with PC speaker output (required 8MHz minimum and usually a 286 minimum):

FastTracker
FastTracker II
Scream Tracker (2.x)
ModEdit

Many others supported Covox/LPT dongle.

Mister Beep: You are known for following 1-bit sound generation methods, why "dirty" yourself with outputting full wavetable sound through PC speaker? I find the former MUCH more interesting (I am stilll trying to figure out how Follin did some of the spectrum stuff he did -- it's clear it's a pulse wave by looking at waveforms generated by the hardware, but how he did volume control and five voices is almost beyond me... but I have ideas).

I've always wanted to try to make a Follin-style engine for 4.77MHz 8088 PC but I don't think it has enough speed. Despite running at almost 5MHz, memory in the PC is SLOW...
