LittleGPTracker (a.k.a ‘The piggy’) is a music tracker optimised to run on portable game consoles.

It implements the user interface of littlesounddj, a very famous tracker for the Gameboy platform that has been tried and tested by many users over the years, leading to a little complex but yet extremely efficent way of working.

Piggy currently supports 8 monophonic 16Bit/44.1Khz stereo sample playback channels. Additionally, the program can drive MIDI instruments (with the gp32 and gp2x a custom MIDI interface is required).

All versions are available for free ; however, if you like the project and want to contribute, don’t hesitate to do a small donation.

Release notes:

Hi all,

Just a quick post to announce that I made the first port of littlegptracker to the caanoo. LittleGPTracker is a sample based tracker (music program) optimized for game consoles. It is based on the famous lsdj for gameboy.

The first beta of the port is available at

And will be updated offically on the lgpt site as soon as I finish polishing the angles.

Cheers
Marc.
