Well just finished a short test tune in H8 Tracker 1.90 beta which is tracker that came out in 2001…
Probably many here have not even heard of it…I’m sure a few have though…
I find this tracker good for short tunes or concepts exploration is fast workflow but you must be man enough to tolerate a few pitfalls & a beta environment…
The reward is a portable tracker that is compact & free of garbage features with automation curves which are the FOREFRONT of the tracker…
Here’s tune I uploaded last nite worked on it on-off during past week…NOTE…There was no crackles on any playback 'till I started recording the output of it even though it just uses directsound…I’ll have to try some different recorders to try & solve…

There is NO CHEATING using H8Tracker…QWERTY only & when I am doing QWERTY only I use a method called tactical composing…
Since this was coded by a 19 year-old Polish kid I am surprised it was not QWERZ format…Kid had ingenious ideas too bad it did not go further…

If you want to challenge yourself to make a tune on a 20 year-old tracker with LIMITATION & CONSTRICTION yet refreshing simplicity & actually quite stylish you can DL here…NOTE…It’s just a 329 KB ARCHIVE! It includes TRACKER, 3 GUI-Less plugs & ONE demo tune!..LOL!..TIGHT CODING!

This would make a great ‘challenge tracker’ for a contest of sorts…
It loads WAVs (not all) XIs & the rest is VSTi-VST only quality plugs work if you have any questions post them on alonetone under my test tune in comments…
NOTE-If you have grabbed up the 'GUI-Less' plugs I posted on this forum recently you are pretty much good to go as 95% of those will work 100% in H8 Tracker............................................
