Don't miss the very interesting blog post http://www.a1k0n.net/2015/11/09/javascript-ft2-player.html

Since the blog post contains the player just the same as the current link, it would probably be better to change the link to the blog.

FWIW, modarchive has a new, JavaScript base player since September:

http://modarchive.org/news.php?13841

It uses HTML5 for audio output:

That's awesome. I spent years on fasttracker in the late 90s. Some time ago I uploaded two xm tunes, converted to mp3, to here: https://www.soundcloud.com/derFunk

I used to have a Gravis Ultrasound Soundcard with 4MB of RAM attached. I did over 300 tracks and was a member of a group called Stoned Brain Recordz. If I wouldn't have switched to coding, I would still make music today :)

Nice to see this project, keep it up.

Wasn't the GUS limited to 1024k RAM though?

To be precise, it was the GUS PnP. IIRC it could handle up to 8mb.

Two similar projects:

And here an online player for SID files:

That is serious coolness.

Could you wrap all this code to have something like <audio> tag playing XMs? Having same API/events as <audio>? In particular I would like to see playbackRate.

I was working on music game and tempo effect was considered. I was wondering at a time if usage of tracker modules would give advantage. Especially ease of changing tempo and maybe automatic conversion of beats to levels.

Now is there HTML5 Tracker?

Non-working (UI prototype only), but here's something I put together a while ago to test my homegrown JS framework[1] with the intent of adding an audio engine someday:
