3.0.0 preview
OpenTracker 3 comes in four flavours: the same firmware with a different set of synths and effects compiled in. The Tracker runs everything from its flash memory, so there is no room for all of them at once.
Only one image can be installed at a time. To switch, install another
.ptf the same way; your projects and patches stay on the card. A project that uses a synth
the image does not have still opens, but that synth shows “not available” and stays silent
until you install an image that has it.
This is a preview for testing, not for real work. Back up your SD card first.
Tick the synths and effects you want. The images that have all of them light up below.
Tick synths or effects to see which images have them all.
Concrete, strobes and a kick that doesn't stop: drums, acid, drive and a tempo-synced echo.
Broken grids and bent FM: wavetables, four-operator FM, drums and acid.
Warm and analog in style: poly pads, mono basses, duophonic leads and tape.
Blips, buzz and fast arps: four chip-style synths, a chip DAC on the mix and a tempo-synced echo.

.ptf with exactly those.
