'''ChaRleyTraCker ''' was a functioning but incomplete, and officially unreleased, soundtracker by [[ChaRleyTroniC]].
The program was feature- and file-compatible with [[Soundtrakker]] by [[BSC]], but was intended to be distributed as public domain.  (The background to this was similar to the [[Protracker]] vs [[Digitracker]] controversy, after some disagreements about the distribution of [[Soundtrakker]] by [[Sentinel Software]] in the UK.)  Among the extra features over and above Soundtrakker were:
* Decompile feature (convert compiled .BIN files back into .SNGs)
* Better API for compiled tunes (including sound effects and a directly readable 'volume meter')
The program was used to create and compile the music for all four issues of [[BTL]].  However, some sections remained unwritten, and an attempted redesign to achieve a more logical screen layout was never completed.  The program was hence never officially released, though some early versions circulated. [[Category:Applications]] [[Category:Music and sound]]
