'''ChaRleyTraCker''' was a functioning but incomplete, and officially unreleased, soundtracker by [[ChaRleyTroniC]].
ChaRleyTraCker The program was a functioning but incomplete, feature- and officially unreleased, soundtracker file-compatible with [[Soundtrakker]] by [[ChaRleyTroniCBSC]], but was intended to be distributed as public domain.
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.
