MilkyTracker
MilkyTracker is a free, open source music application for creating .MOD and .XM module files. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and additional platforms, with source builds also supported. Its tracker workflow aims to recreate Fasttracker II’s module playback and user experience, and .MOD files have ProTracker 2/3 playback modes. The editor supports up to 128 channels and allows simultaneous playback and editing; live mode enables pattern changes during playback. The sample editor includes waveform generators and effects, plus a beta synthesizer for generating looped or single- and multi-cycle waveforms. MilkyTracker imports more than 30 module formats and can load zipped, powerpacked, and UMX modules directly. It exports .MOD, .WAV, and .XM files, and can render songs or patterns to disk or to a sample. MIDI In is supported, but MIDI sequencing, third-party plugins, and cloud collaboration are not. Downloads include Linux AppImage and ZIP builds, Windows ZIP builds, and macOS DMG builds. The project says it will always be free, with optional donations, and its manual says it remains under development and advises use at the user's own risk.
