Back in the early nineties many soundtrackers appeared on the Atari ST and STe. Most of them mimicked what Noistracker/Protracker did on the Amiga.
Octalyser STe however went further and added support for six or eight channels as well as supporting higher quality samples (base note of 20 or 25 kHz instead of the regular 16 kHz). After some time Octalyser gained support for UMP plugins that offered higher quality replay routines, or replay routines that was tailored for demo or game development, the tracker also featured Falcon support once it was available. Many classic STe/Falcon demo and game musics have been made in Octalyser STe over the years.
Yesterday Blade of New Core announced that CD/TBL have agreed to release the Octalyser STe sourcecode and thus it's now available at ggn's Github repository. The entire tracker resides in one humongous source file, and if you want to exercise your Swedish, check out the link below!
