Looking For DAW Software Comptable With Windows 98
P5r:
OK then well if you go on this thread there's several FL Studios & Fruity Loops that should work...If your system is enhanced you may be able to run version 5...If not there's a 4 & 3 there too...

Aero Studio is pretty light & has native gear modules as well as VST-VSTi support...Is pretty easy you can audition using MIDI keyboard-

Also your system good for EvoBeats Sequential Vibes...Tracker that has VSTi & VST-DX-DMO support & you can use MIDI controller...Has integrated sampler to make your own sample-based instruments...

It's a very easy tracker to use...
All of these are 'clean' installs & don't try to sneak in or overwrite system files

I can use CDXtract to convert samples into wav files. Could you tell me which software you listed allows me to play wav files with my midi controller?
P5r:
Well, All of them do but some are better/faster than others...
Some only take mono files but others take stereo or mono...Lets eliminate the mono only ones...(Dreamstation)
If Protrekkr will work on your machine then it is probably the most straightforward as it is portable as well...Put your WAVs in its sample folder & start-restart it should default to sample folder or you may have to navigate to it...Once you get to it then shut Protrekkr down & restart & it will default to the samples folder...
In upper right is where you select samples folder on the little 'S' on the bar...Double-click a WAV to load it...You can now play it on QWERTY or through MIDI keyboard (select the keyboard on the MIDI tab)...
Note at this point it will be mono only...So go to 'Track 1' tab at bottom & on right choose polyphony you want you can go up to 16 note poly per track which is way more than anybody needs...I usually choose 4 or 5...
Now you can play chords & crap...Now back to instrument tab...If your sample is tuned to 'C' you are good to go if it is anything else you need to adjust sample root note to reflect that...
Good to use 'tuningfork' playing in background for this so you can hear if it's the right pitch...on this thread-

When done & still on instrument tab you should SAVE your instrument so you can reuse it...It will appear whereever the 'I' directory is at at upper right which should be the 'instruments' folder...If not navigate to the 'instruments' folder, shut down Protrekkr, restart then it will default to that folder...
Protrekkr had a number of FX to enhance sample instruments played through your selected track best to use them...I have some crappy videos I made on the Protrekkr thread you should download & watch...They are a bit farther down the page...
Braca862:
Can Protrekkr load a sampler CD directly or is there snother software that can do that? I played the wav files and I don't like how the sound doesn't fade in or out and I can't play more than one note at the same time.
P5r:
That's what I was talking about that you have to go to Track 1 tab & bring your polyphony up to 4-5 or whatever THEN you can play chords...If your sample is very stark then turn up the reverb or the delay send it will sound much better...Push in the 'surround' button as well...Protrekkr will play up to 16 notes at same time that's 6 more than all your fingers pressing on the keyboard...
Once you learn a few tricks you'll have it all figgered out...This is the simplest way to do what you want since trackers are very sample based...
