Pata Tracker Alternatives
Pata Tracker is described as 'simplified music tracker to compose chiptune. A tracker file (also called an Album) contain a collection of instruments and songs. A maximum of 93 instruments can be created per synthesizer (currently, there are 7 different synthesizers)' and is a Music Production App in the Audio & Music category. There are nine alternatives to Pata Tracker for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and iPhone. The best alternative is FamiStudio, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Pata Tracker are DefleMask (Paid), FamiTracker (Free, Open Source), 0CC-FamiTracker (Free, Open Source) and Arkos Tracker 2 (Free).
- FamiStudio is very simple music editor for the Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom. It is designed to be easier to use than FamiTracker, but its feature set is also much more limited. It is targeted at both chiptune artists and NES homebrewers.
- DefleMask is a free Cross-Platform tracker for producing music for many soundchips and old school systems. DefleMask uses VGM and ROM format for all of the supported systems, this allows real hardware playing of the music created with this tracker.
- FamiTracker is a free windows tracker for producing music for the NES/Famicom-systems. The interface is based on MadTracker and should be easy to use if you've been using trackers before.
