The sequencer

Classic tracker workflow. Handheld-first.

ElkTracker is a pattern-based step sequencer in the tradition of Octamed and ProTracker, built from the ground up for the four-inch screen and d-pad of retro gaming Linux handhelds.

Everything is reachable with the d-pad, face and shoulder buttons. No touchscreen, no mouse. The interface maps directly to the hardware you already own.
