Schism Tracker is a free and open-source reimplementation of Impulse Tracker, a program used to create high quality music without the requirements of specialized, expensive equipment, and with a unique "finger feel" that is difficult to replicate in part. The player is based on a highly modified version of the Modplug engine, with a number of bugfixes and changes to improve IT playback.
Where Impulse Tracker was limited to i386-based systems running MS-DOS, Schism Tracker runs on almost any platform that SDL 2 supports. Currently builds are provided for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. Most development is currently done on 64-bit Linux. Schism will most likely build on any architecture supported by GCC4 (e.g. alpha, m68k, arm, etc.) but it will probably not be as well-optimized on many systems.
See the wiki for more information.

Known Issues
- Saving over an existing file may sometimes fail.
- USB disks may not be supported.
- Stereo left/right orientation may be reversed in rare cases.
- Performance/scanning can be slow with large SD cards.
