Massive indeed, is there a way to scroll around this more easily than clicking and dragging and clicking and dragging and clicking and dragging?

That’s a lot of trackers :blink:

doesnt work on ipad,
i see only first screen.

I’m on Win7 Firefox43, I think the easiest way is zooming out and in with the mousewheel.

Edit: I love that Protracker 1.3b branch, going from 1992 to 2010.

Don’t forget Buzé

Nah Buze is there, with the correct timeline

Started on Soundtracker 2.2 back in the days of yore.

I saw Milkytracker in there and I remember several times people have mentioned that particular tracker for making chip tunes.

Is that specially suited for chip music or something? Or is it just a coincidence?

I remember trackers before this like Rockmonitor on the C64.

autoaim, Milkytracker is just like Fast Tracker 2 - it basically is an opensource clone, aiming for compatibility and similliar interface/workflow, and only having details enhanced to aid the workflow or usage on modern computers. It is like renoise, with all the dsp removed, much less features, a crappier interface, some restrictions in sample and channel count, stuff like that. You can make the quasi-same chiptunes with renoise by restricting yourself on what features you use. Milkytracker is probably so popular for the “chiptune-kids” for being freely available, running on modern pcs without any emulation or so, and offering hand-drawing single cycle waveforms and tracker style arpeggios. I consider this “traditional 2nd generation modules” and not “real chiptunes”, because a sampler is used that can be much more capable and no real chip or chip emulation, it just sounds kind of similliar.

nitrotracker?

Sort of a half hearted attempt…too bad. Many trackers missing

Arguru Aodix (a fav)

I could go on alot longer if I dig up the memory pond but I think I’ve made the point.

If I got this right, it’s a community project, you could add to it.

It doesn’t have C64 trackers. :frowning:

FUCK YEAH!! :badteethslayer:

Try loading this image in Inkscape. Then you can move around quickly and efficiently with control-arrow keys, and zoom in out with - or +/=

Indeed, C64 trackers aren´t listed there.
I used Voicetracker back then.
Pro-Drum (2 channel sample based step sequencer) on the C64 also was a lot of fun although it is not exactly a tracker.
Anyway - great list !

Awesome document!

I started with SoundTracker :wink:
