OffiTracker

Ever wanted to make music in Excel? Now you can!

OffiTracker lets you use CSV spreadsheets to create chiptunes. Its as simple as typing in the frequency, pulse width and duration.

Here is an example of how this might sound:

Usage

Running OffiTracker requires the following packages to be present on your system:

python3, python3-csv, pyhon3-numpy, python3-sounddevice

Assuming python3 is already installed, you can use the following command to install the dependencies:

pip3 install csv numpy sounddevice

If you need the GUI, additionally install PySimpleGui:

pip3 install PySimpleGui

After that, simply run python3 offitracker.py and enjoy. The command can also take a path to a file as a parameter if you wish to use your shells autocompletion.

Examples can be found in the example folder.

A utility for converting midi files to csv can be found in the utility folder (monophonic only).

Documentation on how to use offitracker as a library and on creating songs compatible with offitracker can be found in the docs folder.
