This is a tracker (http://tinyurl.com/ye3ypcy) for MS-DOS that uses the OPL-2 chips present in AdLib compatible cards to generate sound using FM synthesis.

It was mainly developed using Borland Pascal (with some assembler bits by Keywiz) in a 386dx with a Sound Blaster Pro card, and even though it wasn't 100% finished, it was functional enough to create 3 demo songs which are included in the package.

I originally made this back in 1994 when I was 17 and active in the argentine demoscene, but I will not be developing this any further, so I'm posting it here in case anybody is interesting in continuing it. Just let me know.

NOTE: This has been tested on current hardware and it's confirmed working using DOSBox 0.74 under Windows 7 x64.
