	'''Protracker''' was a music program for the Amstrad CPC written by [[Crown]], which was based on digital instruments (samples) instead of [[PSG]] (chip) sound~~.

'''Protracker''' was a music program for the Amstrad CPC written by [[Crown]], which was based on digital instruments (samples) instead of [[PSG]] (chip) sound.

	Protracker was a competitor of [[Digitracker]] and had a better playback quality, as it used a different technology for rendering the samples. The disadvantage of this technology was, that there were only about 50KB free for samples instead of about 62KB (Digitracker).

	The official reason why Protracker has been developed, was, that [[Crown]] had a fight with [[Prodatron]] at this time (Prodatron left [[BENG!]] etc.). As Prodatron had already developed [[Digitracker]] for [[SymbiosiS]] and wanted to distribute this program via [[Kangaroo]]s company [[New Age Software]], Crown decided to write a competitive product for free, so that Kangaroo and Prodatron won't be able to earn any money. He released Protracker and was successfull: Prodatron decided to change the status of Digitracker from commercial to shareware.
