Tutka is a free (as in freedom) tracker style MIDI sequencer for
Linux. It is is similar to programs like SoundTracker, ProTracker
and FastTracker except that it does not support samples and is meant
for MIDI use only. Tutka is licensed under the GNU GPL.

In Tutka songs are made of blocks. Each block represents a period in
time. These blocks can be played in any order to form a complete
song. Blocks are made of tracks on which the notes are placed. All
tracks of a block are played simultaneously. Only one note can be
played on one track at a time. Blocks can vary in length and may have
different number of tracks.

Each note is played using an instrument. Each instrument can have
properties such as name, MIDI channel, default volume, hold time and
so on. Effects can also be applied to notes. In Tutka effects include
things like volume, aftertouch, pitch bending, note delays, setting
tempo and so on. MIDI controllers can also be used.

Tutka uses a custom XML based file format for storing songs. Songs in
OctaMED SoundStudio\'s MMD2 file format can also be loaded.
