Description

Zhootracker is a retro-modern music tracker with built-in virtual controls (also gamepad and keyboard support), inspired by the legendary workflow of LSDJ (Gameboy) (also in M8 tracker, LittlePiggyTracker, ChipNomad etc...), but fully compatible with the classic FastTracker II (XM) format. So it is compatible with every FT2 clones like Milkytracker, Nitro/Nitroustracker etc... Also works on Mac (Apple Silicon) Presentation video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqaW5rX9xU8XM A tutorial will come quickly and a demonstration of new Rec from microphone functionality so take a look in my youtube channel ! CONTROLS: - Virtual D-pad + A button for fast pattern editing - LSDJ-inspired navigation simplified for touchscreen - Navigate with arrows OR tap directly - The tracker experience you know, redesigned for iPad, inspired by both computer and handheld worlds - Gamepad and keyboard support (using LSDJ shortcuts) (I can't test most supported gamepads yet, please report it if there is any problems). DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE: XM Zhootracker is built to be intuitive. You don't need to master FastTracker II. LSDJ/M8 knowledge will make you faster but I found it more easy to use than computer trackers. Load your sample in instrument page, add your note with A or Keyboard - start making music. FULL XM SUPPORT: - Load and save standard XM module files - Import WAV samples or record your own - Up to 256 patterns with 32 channels - Real-time playback with accurate XM engine - Volume envelopes - Sample loop on instruments - Mute/Solo tracks - Support all fastTracker2/milkytracker commands (LCD style screen for help) EXTRA FEATURES : - Record from microphone directly on the grid (instant fun) - Pattern Loop - Copy track - Intuitive touch controls - Paste in new pattern INTERFACE : - Built-in help section FEEDBACK & SUPPORT: This is a new release! I am actively working on improving the app. If you encounter any bugs or have feature suggestions, please report them here : https://discord.gg/P6FxxVfv — fixes and updates will be released frequently. Perfect for chiptune artists, experimental, enthusiasts, retro game composers, or anyone curious about tracker music.
