Clemons Retro Player
Music player
$5.99
Amiga, PC, C64 and Atari music — MOD, XM, IT, SID and more. Live pattern view, sixteen visualisers, ten-band EQ. Works with the Music app and Apple Music too.
A retro-inspired player for classic tracker modules and home computer chip music, with demoscene-style visualisers.
It also works with the Music app and Apple Music: play your library and playlists from the player, and watch every visualiser follow the sound.
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.
CONTROL THE MUSIC APP
Hand the player over to the Music app: the display shows what Music is playing, the transport buttons drive it, your Music playlists appear in the playlist column, and every visualiser follows the sound. Works with your own library and with Apple Music.
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 — plus a mini player and a fullscreen mode. Click the clock to see time remaining. Keyboard shortcuts throughout.
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.
• 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, with the buttons as black plates with silver lettering.
• DIVE: a new visualiser — a dive down an endless tunnel whose rings of light pulse with the music.
