Hi,

Ten years has passed since the first 0.6 revision of VIC-TRACKER, and
now the much anticipated VIC-TRACKER 2.0 is released!  Version 2.0 adds
loads of new features and improvements over the previous 1.0 and 0.6
versions!

http://www.kahlin.net/daniel/victracker/

VIC-TRACKER is a full-featured tracker-style music editor for the
Commodore Vic-20.  It includes a cross-compressor which produces compact
assembly source code output suitable for inclusion in demos and games.
As of version 2.0 VIC-TRACKER also supports Sync24/DIN-Sync making it easy
to synchronize it to modern sequencers and electronic music hardware such
as drum machines.

I hope you will find this piece of software useful and entertaining.
Please make lots of fun music with it!

Full source code is included ofcourse!

Kind regards
/Daniel Kahlin
Ps. Please forward this to people that might be interested. Ds.
