About Fasttracker II clone
The FT2 clone is a recreation of Fasttracker II, the classic DOS music tracker, written in C with SDL 2. It lets musicians compose tracker modules with the look and workflow of the original on current systems.
Builds are offered for 64-bit and 32-bit Windows 7 SP1 and later and as a universal macOS app for Intel and Apple silicon. Linux packages exist but are not supported by the author, and the source compiles on Linux. Version 2.24 was released in September 2026.
