It really depends on the compatibility as for me protracker functions are important. Renoise doesn't even do all but it's an overall great tool. Others are sunvox (crossplatform Jeskola Buzz-like), or even native on UAE/Amiga I would se OctaMED. I have to say, OpenMPT is also good, especially for playback.
Might as well link Deflemask if we're sharing trackers we like. https://deflemask.net/
Don’t miss out on Furnace, an open source tracker compatible with Deflemask modules: https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace
Trackers like MilkyTracker, OpenMPT, and Famitracker are trying to mostly enable people who use trackers to continue writing music for specific formats (and the specific limitations of those formats). There are much more modern trackers as well. As far as I know, the absolute state of the art is Renoise. There are some other alternatives like SunVOX. The downside of the modern trackers is that you very much have to r…
sunvox is great. lots of modules to get funky with. in terms of sound it can be as clean or dirty as one needs.
I used Milkytracker for many years, graduating from LSDJ and Famitracker. I eventually got my hands on a proper A500 and tracked on that for a while, before going back to the comfort of a modern PC running Renoise. These days it’s all Ableton for me, but I miss the days of using trackers like nothing else. I’m spoiled on Ableton, so can’t easily make the switch back to a tracker equivalent like Renoise, but there are…
Is there a good library of mod/s3m files? The first time I heard Metallica's "The Call of Ktulu" was an s3m file that did a really good job sounding like the original, I've been looking (very casually) for that file for a while now.

I somehow managed to miss it, and now I'm blown away.

Digging down, it seems to be implemented in antediluvian C++: Equalizer::~Equalizer(void) { } It probably could be cut to half the LOC just by modernizing, and get more reliable and faster.
I agree that you could reduce the lines of code by modernizing, and get more reliable code (the current codebase has cases of UB that they neglected pull requests to fix for a year and counting, see https://github.com/milkytracker/MilkyTracker/pull/255 and https://github.com/milkytracker/MilkyTracker/pull/256 ). But MilkyTracker is uniquely fast in compiling, I think because of avoiding STL and heavyweight headers. M…
Probably you could speed up the build by consolidating it into a few files; linking is about the slowest thing compilers do, although mold could help, there.
Moving small things into headers might seem like it would slow down the build, but anything wholly defined in a header doesn't need to be linked.
Looking at your pull 256, a delegating constructor would seem to be right thing, but initializing in the class declaration is absolutely best. I wonder who still wants it pre-C++11.
