M4G Tracker is a trackers for the Game Boy Advance first released in 2010.
It is a software intended to provide a quick way to write music, it can be compared with a music box, in which the little spikes (here the notes) trigger different tones depending on which material (here the instruments) they strike while they move crossing the playing line (here the play cursor).
User guide
This program allows to manipulate the GBA build-in sound engine, using a GUI which will feel familiar with those used to current Gameboy Chiptune tools.
M4GTracker provides 6 channels where to put notes, each one can hold up to 16 notes, but those 1 notes can be changed on the fly. This is known as sequencing. The order in which whose notes are replaced, is configurable per channel, so channel 1 can stay the whole song repeating the same note pattern while the other channels reload different ones. Every channel emits a different, unique noise, think of channels as if they were a different synth each one.
These channels can apply different settings to their synths, and those settings will be known as instruments.
