Welcome to the most comprehensive database of music tracking software on the internet.
Currently it is in an embryo condition, but i do my best to fill it with all needed information, as fast as i can.
I'm working on this project alone, so updating will be quite slow. Please, be patient.
And finally, i can rest assure you, that this insane idea will not be abandoned until all tracker programs on all available platforms released till 2020 will be fully reviewed here.

If you have any information or some suggestions don't hesitate to drop me a line via this address:

Woha! Some redesign : https://trackerbase.blogspot.com/
I am slowly begin to fill up database with new content and clean up the mess.
One suggestion, could you make the site more mobile friendly
Thanks for suggestion - i get it!
But first priority is database fulfillment and only after that mobile interface.
I know of this site , it's been around along time!
Nice collection.
Minor corrections:
- The last ModPlug Tracker release was, if the file date is any indication, in 2003, not 1999. It does not have any specific processor requirements, it definitely does not require a Pentium II. It should even run on a 486. It supports both PCM samples and VST (although just very basic support)
- OpenMPT has been last updated in 2017 and while "OPEN SOURCE VOLUNTEERS" as authors is technically correct, it has been manx and me who have been maintaining it for the last few years. The system requirements are Windows XP and a Pentium or better CPU (SSE is not required), Windows 9x support has been dropped.

I get it, thanks for extended information. It is accumulated and will be added!
Regarding platforms do i miss something important?
See attachment please
There is a tracker for the Nintendo DS (NitroTracker), but maybe you would want to merge that with Gameboy and similar under "Handheld"? Maybe it would also make sense to split Amiga 68k into the original OCS/ECS 68000 Amigas and 680x0 with AGA, depending on how you want to categorize things.
Thanks for suggestion regarding Nintendo. Oh and I almost forget about Symbian.
As for Amiga's i think that such separation will be quite overwhelming. But, anyway, i need to think this through..
Modified database scheme below
I started a "list" concerning trackers on Android:-
https://forum.openmpt.org/index.php?topic=5004.msg43245;topicseen#msg43245
So MilkyTracker is a noteworthy addition there, and perhaps "Caustic" also counts? I didn't use it much yet but it seems worthwhile. Pixitracker - did not impress.
I'm still checking the PlayStore regularly for anything decent, but I'm realising not everything worthwhile is actually on that stinky PlayStore, meanwhile much of useless trash is. It's a junkyard. I still keep hoping, though.

Sounds familiar hahaha this arse just sits around too long hahahaha

I don't know if you are still working on the database. But, in case you are, you might exclude Caustic. From looking at the screenshots, it looks like it not be a music tracker, but, instead, a digital audio workstation. But, a tracker that you might consider looking at (if you haven't already) is SunVox.
Back to work.
Adding minimum one new tracker on every day basis.
Are you aware that FM (Frequency Modulation) is a very specific type of synthesis and not a general term for synthesized instruments? Tons of trackers in the database have FM specified as sound generator, but that is simply not true. For example, neither the NES nor the Gameboy have FM synthesis, so certainly neither NerdTracker nor Paragon's GB Tracker use FM synthesis for sound generation. "Synth" would be a more appropriate label, which you seem to use for a handful of other trackers.
On the other hand, OpenMPT does actually support FM synthesis so it would be nice if that could be added to its entry (together with the corrections posted on page 1 of this thread).
I also have to add that I find both the color scheme and the font to be rather hard to read.
Thanks for info. I know what frequency modulation is. Maybe change for simple "synth" would be good enough.
Tons of trackers not even described appropriately. I'm working on it.
I'll take into account all correction regarding ModPlug, will fix errors in a while.
>I also have to add that I find both the color scheme and the font to be rather hard to read.
In terms of color scheme don't see any distractions. As for font - 100% agree, tried to be oldschool, but it looks like the font begging for replacement.
Site is no more.
