Long-time lurker, decided to actually build the thing I kept missing.

I grew up watching Winamp's visualizer more than actually listening sometimes, and none of the modern players scratch that itch — they play the file and that's it. So I spent the last while building VPX: a Windows player with a real 8-channel oscilloscope that draws the waveform live, one lane per channel, plus a 10-band EQ where you drag the curve instead of nudging sliders.

It plays ~70 formats, including .mod/.s3m/.xm tracker files from the 90s — figured this crowd would appreciate that part specifically. On a tracker module you can actually watch each channel's lane separately, which is oddly satisfying if you grew up on this stuff.

To be upfront: AIMP, foobar2000 and XMPlay already play tracker files fine, for free. What none of them do is draw it while it plays, the way Winamp did. That's the whole bet here.

Built solo, still rough around a few edges — happy to hear what's wrong with it more than what's right. If anyone wants to try it (there's a free 3-day trial, and also a browser version of just the scope for testing without installing anything), ask and I'll drop the link — didn't want the first post to look like a pitch.
