Any good trackers based on Web Audio API? Best if open source and works offline

A similar question was asked in the milkytracker thread too! Check out BassoonTracker. https://github.com/steffest/BassoonTracker

Ok what about this: any good tracker for Mobile?

Not a big user of trackers, even more so nowadays. And never on a mobile device. But I liked SunVox when I tried it.

It's free proprietary software from Russia, so take that into consideration.

I guess it's Tracker Weeks at Hacker News? :) (MilkyTracker reached the front page just a few days ago) OpenMPT has been my most extensive spare time project for the last 14 years. Excited to see it on the front page!

I just started learning OpenMPT earlier this week together with my daughter, really seems to be the easiest around! Thankyou :-)

OpenMPT is not very "leet" in chiptune screen because it's approachable and easy to use.

In 2012 a new artist named Fearofdark released his first album Motorway and it absolutely blew everyone away. This was a pro-level album made by an apparent beginner.

It soon came out that this wasn't actually even a "chiptune" album made with a proper tracker manipulating a programmable sound generator chip, it was actually made in OpenMPT with chiptune samples. A total noob move.

It was a scandal.

I loved this because it shows if you have true talent, you can use any tool to make a masterpiece. It didn't detract from my enjoyment of the album at all. Maybe even increased it.

Enjoy the original album here: https://archive.org/details/UBI055

Or he did a remaster last year: https://fearofdark.bandcamp.com/album/motorway-remastered-20...

That's great to hear! Have fun, both of you!

And it wouldn't still be around if not for your incredible efforts -- not only on the software issue, but also on the OpenMPT community.
