Interesting, I didn’t know Polyend Tracker was so poorly done.
I imagine a lot of things would be solved if, for example, the following request were implemented well enough to allow Renoise to be controled with a Dirtywave M8-like control scheme.
After that, I think Renoise can become the most powerful tracker console without much man-hours by using existing products such as the ARM-based Game Boy-type, OS changeable Linux consoles, as there are probably many of them.
