• Anodized: a new skin made from the brushed metal behind the VU meters and speakers, with corner screws and an engraved title. In dark it's black anodised aluminium; in light a cool grey, and the VU and speaker panels turn light with it. • DIVE: a new visualiser — a dive down an endless tunnel whose rings of light pulse with the music. • Ready for iPhone Duo. Open it and you get the full rack on the large display, close it and the player moves to the outer display without missing a beat. • Fold iPhone Duo halfway and stand it on the table, and Clemons becomes a boombox: the effect fills the top half like a screen, with the controls and eight preset buttons for the effects below the fold. • Hold iPhone Duo like a book, and the player and playlist sit on the left page with the effect at full height on the right.

About
A retro-inspired player for classic tracker modules and home computer chip music, with demoscene-style visualisers. A tracker module isn't a recording. It's rendered live from its own pattern data — the notes, instruments and effects the composer typed in — so what you see scrolling past is what is driving the sound. Some of it goes further still. A SID, SAP or SNDH file carries the composer's own machine code, and the app runs it: an emulated 6502 or 68000 driving an emulated SID, POKEY or YM2149, the way the machine did. FORMATS Tracker modules: MOD, MED and OKT from the Amiga, XM, IT and S3M from the PC demoscene, plus MTM, STM, PTM, MDL, DBM, DIGI, IMF, PSM, ULT, GDM, MO3, FAR, J2B, AMF, DMF and around twenty-five more. Chip music: SID (Commodore 64), SAP (Atari 8-bit), SNDH and YM (Atari ST), 4V (Quartet). Ordinary audio too: WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A and FLAC. THE DISPLAY A live pattern view for tracker modules that scrolls smoothly in time with the music, showing the real note, instrument and effect columns — the same data the tracker wrote, not a decoration. VISUALISERS Sixteen effects, available for every format and every one of them full screen: backlit needle VU meters in a brushed metal panel, two bass speakers whose cones move with the bass, a retro stereo LED VU in dBFS with peak hold, bouncing balls — one per voice, jumping on the note onsets — an LED spectrum, a fine-bar analyser and a dot tunnel in four variants that follows the music. And three dancers who track the tempo and keep the beat: the Synthdiva at her synth, Synth Diva Pro in glossy white on synth, guitar or drums, and FLOW, a chrome robot dancing on a glossy stage. And a Light Show of five effects in flowing light and colour: ink blooming under a rippling water surface, an electric storm, a drifting nebula, a neon vortex and a dive down an endless tunnel of light. EVERYTHING ELSE Playlists you can save and reload. A ten-band EQ with presets. Three skins — a studio rack, classic brushed metal and Anodized, in black or cool grey brushed aluminium. Tap the clock to see time remaining. Background playback with lock screen controls. Keyboard shortcuts on iPad. On iPhone Duo, open it for the full rack on the large display, stand it half-folded and it becomes a boombox, or hold it like a book with the player on one page and the effect on the other. NO STRINGS No ads. No accounts. No analytics. No network code at all — the app has never made a connection and cannot. Your files stay on your device, and everything works offline. Built by one person who grew up with this music.
