'''BooTracker''' is a simple, yet powerful music tracking program. Written by [[Simon Forrester]] (aka Boo The Ghost), it appeared on Amstrad Action covertape No.26.
Written by [[Simon Forrester]] (aka Boo The software enables you to track your own musicGhost), using either ready-made instruments, or you could make your own in the instrument editorit appeared on Amstrad Action covertape No. You have 3 channels to work with. The finished arrangements can be saved as a .mus file, which will play back using an interrupt, so you can incorporate them in your own programs26.
BooTracker used firmware sound routinesThe software enables you to track your own music, rather than directly addressing the [[PSG]]using either ready-made instruments, so was unsuitable for demo or more advanced game use. Nonetheless, it was capable of very good results, not least because of you could make your own in the firmware's 100Hz sound-generating frequency. Perhaps the most impressive product of BooTracker was the 'Jean-Michel Jarre Demo Disque' by [[SWiB]] of [[The Underground]]instrument editor.
