Benjamin Rosseaux has updated BeRoTracker to version 1.00.2026.09.29, and has added Linux and macOS builds beside the Windows one.
BeRoTracker is a keyboard-driven music tracker in the Impulse Tracker tradition, with pattern editing, sample and instrument editing, plug-in hosting, MIDI and OPL3 FM synthesis. It loads MOD, S3M, XM, IT, MT2, MTM, DMF, IMF, OKT, STM, 669 and MIDI files and saves MOD, S3M, XM and IT beside its own BRT format. It is a portable application: extract the ZIP and start it, with settings, caches and logs kept beside the executable.
Changes since the previous release:
- Builds for Linux and macOS (Apple Silicon) beside Windows, in one portable ZIP.
- The interface is drawn with Vulkan, with OpenGL where Vulkan is missing and with Metal on macOS, and scales with the window, including a new adaptive sizing mode.
- A high-resolution font beside the classic 8×8 font, and seven 16-colour palettes, with user palettes able to be loaded and saved.
- 256 channels, numbered in hexadecimal.
- New pattern matrix with channel patterns: a channel column lifted out of a pattern and read by any number of patterns.
- New drum pattern editor with drum instruments and its own order list.
- New OPL3 synthesis alongside samples, with OPL3 instruments stored in the song.
- New import of 42 AdLib/FM music formats and 17 kinds of AdLib instrument file and bank; a song can be written back out as an AdLib RAW register capture.
- VST3 and CLAP support beside VST2, with cached plug-in scans, plug-in editor windows and parameter automation.
- New modular editor for amplifiers, parametric EQ with presets, built-in effects and individual FM voices.
- MIDI file import and export, MIDI output to external instruments, and MIDI controllers assignable to automation columns.
- New resampling methods: nearest, linear, cubic spline, polyphase FIR and windowed SINC from 8 up to 1024 taps.
- New audio backends: ALSA, PipeWire, PulseAudio and JACK on Linux, WASAPI beside WinMM, DirectSound and ASIO on Windows, and CoreAudio with CoreMIDI on macOS.
- SF2 and DLS import for samples, beside WAV, FLAC and OGG.
- Supported files can be loaded straight out of ZIP archives, nested archives included.
- WAV and MIDI export of the whole song or of individual channels, instruments and samples.
