Clemons Retro Player
Tracker & chip music player
$5.99
A player for Atari, PC, C64 and Amiga music — MOD, XM, IT, SID and more — plus your own WAV, MP3 and FLAC. Live pattern view, nine full-screen visualisers, ten-band EQ.
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
Nine effects, available for every format and every one of them full screen: analog needle VU meters, 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, a dot tunnel in four variants that follows the music, and the Synthdiva: a dancer who tracks the tempo and keeps the beat.
EVERYTHING ELSE
Playlists you can save and reload. A ten-band EQ with presets. Two skins on Mac — a studio rack and a resizable Liquid window — plus a mini player. Keyboard shortcuts throughout. Background playback with lock screen controls on iPhone and iPad.
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.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Nine visualisers for every format and all of them also available in full screen:
• DIVA — the Synthdiva, a dancer who tracks the tempo and keeps the beat.
• TUN — the dot tunnel, rebuilt: denser, and steered gently by the bass, mids and treble.
• S-VU — a retro stereo LED VU in dBFS with peak hold, replacing the old LED meter.
• VU, BALL, VOX, SPEC and ANLG now work for tracker modules, chip music and audio files alike.
• New FX button in the bottom bar: shows the effect that's on, click for the next, right-click (touch and hold) for a menu of all of them.
• The pattern view scrolls more smoothly, and every effect runs at the display's full frame rate.
• Mac: smoother window dragging. Liquid's display grows with the window.
• iPad: the Liquid playlist is drawn on glass. iPhone: swipe down for the next full-screen fx, up for the previous.
