OpenMPT is being developed since 1997 (initially named ModPlug Tracker) and can be used as a "classic" sample-based tracker to edit and play your favourite tracked music, but also as a modern DAW with plugin support and other great features. Here, you can find some of the key features of the tracker.

General

• VST effects and VST instruments supported

• Fully configurable keyboard layout (OpenMPT comes with key maps in various flavours including Impulse Tracker and Fasttracker 2 style, as well as a Dvorak layout) - shortcuts can also be bound to MIDI CCs.
• Support for multiple sequences ("songs") in one file - write entire soundtracks in one little module file!
• Support for custom tunings
• Suitable for live performances: Queue patterns, automate VST parameters using a MIDI keyboard, start and stop your modules with MIDI messages…
• Decimal tempos are supported for perfect syncing with other sound sources.
• Templates can be used to quickly access often used combinations of samples, pattern, instrument, plugin,… settings.
