Schism Tracker

Overview

Schism Tracker is a free and open-source reimplementation of Impulse<br>Tracker, a program used to create high quality music without the<br>requirements of specialized, expensive equipment, and with a unique<br>"finger feel" that is difficult to replicate in part. The player is<br>based on a highly modified version of the ModPlug engine, with a<br>number of bugfixes and changes to improve IT<br>playback.

Where Impulse Tracker was limited to i386-based systems running MS-DOS,<br>Schism Tracker runs on almost any platform that SDL supports, and has been<br>successfully built for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD,<br>AmigaOS, BeOS, and even the Wii. Schism<br>will most likely build on any architecture supported by GCC (e.g.<br>alpha, m68k, arm, etc.) but it will probably not be as well-optimized<br>on many systems.
