In their own words
OpenMPT
OpenMPT is a tracker and audio application for writing and playing music, with a sample-based workflow or DAW-style use through plugin support. It is portable and needs no installation. The editor supports up to 128 channels and 256 virtual channels, multiple open modules, and a built-in sample editor. OpenMPT supports VST effects and instruments, DirectX audio plugins, and VST automation from patterns. It imports module formats including Impulse Tracker, Scream Tracker 3, FastTracker 2, and ProTracker, and can save IT, MOD, MPTM, S3M, and XM modules. Audio export includes lossless PCM and float audio up to 192 kHz and 32-bit, as well as Opus, Ogg Vorbis, MP3, MIDI, and OPL register dumps. Live workflows include queuing patterns and controlling VST parameters with a MIDI keyboard. OpenMPT can load MIDI files but is not a MIDI editor. It is free under the New BSD License. Windows is supported natively; macOS and Linux use Wine.
