Maybe it's no longer obvious:

This is an app that plays "MODs", a sampler-based chiptune format that originated with the Commodore Amiga.

Inspired by the technical limitations of a 40-year-old design, a demo scene community has created thousands of songs, annual competitions.

MOD format history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_file

Can this replace Google Analytics?
Sick! I mostly use Reason 13 now but still have a love for mod tracking.

Here is my mod file player in javascript: https://xovt.neocities.org

Trackers are seriously underappreciated instruments.
Tried to use this to track various bassoons, and was very disappointed.
I was really hoping for a tracker with the only sound being a good model of a bassoon, one of my favorite instruments. But this is a pretty good little tracker, always like seeing a new tracker.

Link is bassoon, not tracker.
