I'm continuing some of my research/writing on early NES-related tools and I've recently began looking at tracker software. As usual, I have questions:
1. Was NerdTracker 2 the first FC/NES tracker? The name leads me to believe there was a NT1, but I can find no trace of it online. Any trackers that preceded it?
2. Was NT2 directly inspired by other tracker software? My guess was Amiga Sound/ProTracker and their derivatives.
3. Any notable limitations of the NT2 2A03 emulation based on limited hardware knowledge at the time?
4. Anyone have insight on the Japanese Famicom tracker and/or VGM scene? Links or documentation are fine.
Thanks!
