MilkyTracker v.0.9.85
MilkyTracker is an open source, multi-platform music application for creating .MOD and .XM module files. It attempts to recreate the module replay and user experience of the popular DOS program Fasttracker II, with special playback modes available for improved Amiga ProTracker 2/3 compatibility.

– Powerful sample editor featuring waveform generators
– In-depth instrument editor featuring envelope zooming and scaling and support for copying and swapping instruments and samples across tabs
– Low latency audio driver support
– MIDI In support
– Module optimizer
– Internal file browser option
– Various font sizes for improved visibility of pattern data
– Prospective pattern view option

A couple of facts:
MilkyTracker is not based on any common module replay. Its core MilkyPlay has been in development since the mid-90s, originally as a Digitrakker .MDL player.
MilkyTracker development started a decade later for the Pocket PC and it still fully operates on rather humble PDAs.
MilkyTracker is and will stay a 2nd generation tracker. There are already several good 3rd generation trackers out there.
