GoatTracker is a free software cross-platform tracker for creating Commodore 64 music (which are using MOS Technology 6581 and 8580 SID chips).

It is written by Lasse Öörni and uses the SDL library, thus making it portable.

While it is primarily for OSX, efforts have been made to port it to other platforms and formats.
