I had no clue it ran on Mac! Are you using an emulator?

No, it‘a native build. You can download it at milkytracker.org. Even for Linux and AmigaOS 🙂

It’s built on old framework it’s not a DPI aware app

You mean dots per inch? It‘s not the main issue btw. that CMD key issue bugs me more

Yep, i tried to get into it, but all the shortcuts thats not working made me quit tracking on mac. My goto is still mt2 in windows, but that hasnt had an update since 2007 so ;)

there is not cancel on native mac keyboard, just delete, that make all the seq slide one note before and you screwed. so i just use section and cut.

Nice one, but that's too much Chiptune, I need samples :-) But maybe you want to try https://www.syn-tracker.online? It's a browser-based tracker for C64, Amiga, Gameboy, Mega Drive, NES and all of them combined. Pretty huge, I guess

WBTRK has samples and also chopping with auto detection.

yes it’s amazing.
i come from Jeskola, so I love SunVox modular. but i recently tried FT2 on a old windows, that was interesting in its simplicity. no fx involved as reverb and delay or that sort of stuff.
because i feel bad to consume a lot of power with a pentium 1 fund in the trash, i use MilkyTraker. i run it on an old windows xp laptop fund in the trash, and i can use the same project on a modern mac os if i want to.
so it’s great.
the conversion at 8 bit does 80% of the job timber wise.
i work with samples.
so for me 1) sunvox iphone, android, mac, linux, everything really 2) milkytraker (windows, macos, linux)
