MultiTracker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MultiTracker is a multi-track digital sequencer, or tracker for the DOS computer platform, written by Dan "StarScream" Goldstein of the American demogroup Renaissance in November of 1993. It was unique in its day for 32 channel output and Gravis Ultrasound (GUS) sound card support.

The MultiTracker file format used the extension .MTM. The program's exceptional single page interface (displayed in 80x50 textmode) was well appreciated by many users. Dan "Maelcum" Nicholson, founder of the music scene group Kosmic Free Music Foundation, and Gene "Psibelius" Wie, editor of the now-defunct music scene newsletter TraxWeekly, both wrote and released compositions in MTM format long after it had been supplanted by newer and more capable tracker programs.

Criticism of the MTM format arose primarily because of its significantly different handling of tracker effects like vibrato and arpeggio (compared to the "standard" behavior of established tracking programs). Conversions of MTM to other formats like MOD and S3M often yielded unpredictable results with respect to those effects.

Impulse Tracker was one of the few remaining trackers that had the functionality to import MTM format files.
