PixiTracker

PixiTracker is a lightweight application designed for people who have little time to test out complex music creating tools but would still like to create music. The idea behind the utility is to provide you a straightforward way to come up with chiptunes, sketches or just experiment with sounds.

You will be happy to learn that the application is quite intuitive and it is unlikely you will encounter any issues regardless of your experience with similar apps. Since it employs a pattern-based sequencer or a tracker made of symbols instead of actual notes, it can make it easier for you to track the notes and follow the composition.

As you would expect, the program comes with several packs with unique sounds that you can add to your composition. Take the time to listen to all of them and create a pattern that is suitable for your musical project. Then again, if you do not find the sound you need for your composition, then do not forget that you can record the sounds yourself. The sound recorded works equally well with the microphone or line-in as well as via a MIDI device.

Speaking of MIDI, the app provides a relatively extended support and is compatible with various systems from Audiobus, IAA, ASIO, MME, ALSA, OSS and DirectSound.

Once you are done with the creative part, you can export the new sound to WAV file format. If the project is not finished, then you can import the same file and continue working on it on your next session. Alternatively, the program lets you export to XM, a file format that can be loaded by most modern tracker or player.

PixiTracker is a simple and forthright utility that can come in handy for anyone who wants to experiment with music and creating sounds but does not have the time or knowledge to delve into more advanced software solutions.
