Arkos Tracker 1.0 beta 3

Yet again, something fresh 'n' interesting has surfaced in the ever-evolving, ever-intriguing world of cross-development. A tracker called STarKos, originally designed to create tunes for the Amstrad CPC has been adapted to fit the needs of other 8-bit platforms. This re-incarnation has been dubbed "Arkos Tracker". It retains most of its features, extends some, and will evolve in future versions. Generally speaking, it's a vertical tracker-styled music editor which allows multiple events per step, similar to contemporary musical applications like Vortex Tracker II.

On top of it all, the binary songs exported to CPC are played with a fast (non-streamed) player. Every song can then be rendered to WAV or YM format in a split second. Also, manuals, player sources, and plenty of demo songs are included in the package. What makes this Arkos Tracker especially relevant, cross-scene wise, is that it can also be used to compose for ZX Spectrum, Pentagon 128K and MSX. The included tools (AKStoYM, STKtoAKS and AKStoBIN) will work on any Operating Systems with Mono installed.
