(With the exception of 100-pattern modules between V3.0 and V3.50) If you don't countMIDI , the vast majority of all music on theAmiga is made using the originaltracker , ProTracker, or a derivative.Fact|date=November 2007ProTracker has become a standard for music and the MOD-files are even supported by most sample-based music programs on the PC. The
user interface for ProTracker did not conform to the standard GUI guidelines but could coexist with other applications utilizing the Amiga's multitasking capabilities.The original ProTracker was writen by Amiga Freelancers and released as
public domain . A lot of more or less compatible trackers was soon released. New versions of ProTracker was released by different groups. Most known are Mushroom studios/Noxious and Cryptoburners who was the first to make a release with a different userinterface.External links
