GoatTracker

GoatTracker is a cross-platform tracker written by Lasse Öörni, producing SID chiptune music for the Commodore 64, and released with source code under the GPL. It is notable for being possibly the only SID chiptune-composer NOT native to the C64, as many alternative composers (including JCH, and [http://noname.c64.org/tracker CyberTracker] ) only execute on the C64 or inside emulators such as VICE and Hoxs64. Many SID tunes are available in various formats on the Internet, especially The High Voltage SID Collection.

GoatTracker has been verified to work under Win32, Linux, Mac OS and Amiga using the SDL library, the bme library (available at the site) is required to compile GoatTracker from source code. It produces and imports songs in its own format (*.SNG), export (but not import) is supported for the SID, BIN or Commodore PRG format. Several example songs and instrument files are supplied with the GoatTracker source code, which also includes details of file formats and screen display in the readme. It plays back using emulated output via one reSID engine, a HardSID soundcard, or a CatWeasel (MK3/MK4) controller card; there is also an earlier stereo version, using two reSID engines.

Features

GoatTracker shares several features with other tracker software, including:

* import and modification of instrument files
* track/pattern creation and modification
* pattern playback order
* alteration of song details such as title and author
* song playback and export.
