Also, native UIs obviously aren't portable, so you'd have to write custom code for each platform you want to support (or use something dreadful like wxWidgets. Hence, pretty much all existing trackers targetting 8-bit platforms use custom text/bitmap based UIs.

Trackers are resource-hungry programs (they're essentially emulators with extra cream added), and native UI kits are simply too slow for creating a tracker UI from them. There's no reason why these softwares can t just use native UI layouts If you do find a bug or want to request a feature, please do so in this thread, or (preferably) through the official issue tracker. That means it is quite usable at this point, but may still contain quite a few bugs and rough edges here and there.

It should theoretically also work on Mac, but nobody has tried yet.īintracker is currently in an early beta stage. From 1tracker, it inherits the idea of using a plug-in system, so you can easily add support new engines without modifying the bintracker executable.Īt the moment, Bintracker supports a handful of my new beeper engines, including PhaserX and PhaseSqueek.īintracker is free and open-source, and will run on Windows and *nix systems. From Beepola, it inherits the more conventional and well-known pattern/sequence workflow, as opposed to 1trackers more experimental 'endless pattern' approach. It's a PC-based tool, like Beepola and 1tracker. Bintracker is the latest addition to the family of beeper music editors.
