'''Protracker''' was a music program for the Amstrad CPC written by [[Crown]], which was based on digital instruments (samples) instead of [[PSG]] (chip) sound. Out of wave tables it mixed three channels into one 4 or 8 bit channel, which has been output via the CPCs' internal PSG or the [[Digiblaster]] (printer port) DAC-extension.
Protracker was a competitor of [[Digitracker]] and had a better playback quality, as it used a different technology for rendering the samples. The disadvantage of this technology was, that there were only about 50KB free for samples instead of about 62KB(Digitracker).
