Trackers like MilkyTracker, OpenMPT, and Famitracker are trying to mostly enable people who use trackers to continue writing music for specific formats (and the specific limitations of those formats).
There are much more modern trackers as well. As far as I know, the absolute state of the art is Renoise. There are some other alternatives like SunVOX.
The downside of the modern trackers is that you very much have to replay the songs in the tracker themselves, with all of the same plugins and settings. The older formats have lots of playback targets and tend to be very resource light for a very good sound.
- sfuller808 4y agosunvox is great. lots of modules to get funky with. in terms of sound it can be as clean or dirty as one needs.
- kqr 4y agoSunvox does a fair job of emulating an analog synth! The only tracking aspect of it is in how you compose songs. So I'm not surprised.
- nine_k 4y agoSo many thanks for mentioning SunVOX. I somehow managed to miss it, and now I'm blown away.
- schmorptron 4y agoThere is also radium, which seems to be in the middle between renoise and older trackers.
