My unnamed tracker has capability to play and import Polyend and Protracker projects and audio and DSP to realize that the fullest but in addition...
1. It will load/save its own format.
2. Decent modern real-time timestrech.
3. Arbitrary length samples mono/stereo.
4. Polyend song themselves even with old features just sound much better given high-fidelity signal, oversampling, across the board better and less aliased DSP and some magic dust :-)
5. From eight to 16 channels.
6. Curvature of envelopes (I don't get why they didn't just do this, it is very weird).
7. 1010music Blackbox'ish hardware synth auto-multisampling.
8. All 16 channels are equal. I.e. no weird 8/8 divisions. All do samples and MIDI instruments.
That's about it for 1.0 DoD :-) I retain my right to reconsider licensing up until I release anything but most likely GPLv3.
I'll support Pipewire on Linux and CoreAudio on macOS and obviously Windows and WASAPI and ASIO support are welcome as contributions.

I do not need fixed purpose softsynths. At some point they need to be improved and that might be backwards incompatible, so you need a stupid checkbox to switch "compatibility mode" (lots of plugins do this). Or you can keep it as it is i.e., not being useful for anything.
Instead it is just better to provide higher quality algorithms for sample, wavetable and granular oscillators, and make that unified synth better with sound :-)
And this will never ever have plugins. But it will continuously sound better :-)
