PokeTrack: Joystick-controlled music tracker released

PokeTrack, a music tracker with joystick controls, has been released on Steam.

PokeTrack is a music production application for desktop and handheld devices that uses joystick and keyboard input as its primary control scheme, and is available at launch for €4.15 (down from €5.19, a 20% discount).

The tool runs cross-platform on Windows, macOS, and Linux (including ARM and handheld builds) and ships with a built-in synthesizer and effect units, so no external plugins are required. It also supports SF2/SFZ soundfonts and custom CLAP/WCLAP plugins, and its source code is openly available on GitHub.
