VIC-TRACKER is a full-featured tracker-style music editor for the Commodore Vic-20 programmed by Daniel Kahlin.

VIC-TRACKER COMPO 2005 is a friendly competition to squeeze out some interresting music and sounds from one of the most restrictive sound hardware produced.

SOUND HARDWARE
The Vic-20 has 3 channels of square wave, one channel of noise, and a 4-bit global volume. The frequency is determined by a 7-bit value for each of the 4 channels. The three square wave channels have different frequency ranges. they are one octave apart.

REQUIREMENTS

Commodore Vic-20 + 16Kb memory expansion
or emulated in VICE for non Vic-20 and/or non 16Kb expansion owners.
VIC-TRACKER
8-bit mindset! :)
