The multi-chip tracker that speaks Mega Drive, SID, Game Boy and NES in one program — and exports to each chip's own format.
DefleMask, by the developer "Delek", is a tracker aimed at several classic sound chips at once: Sega's YM2612 in the Mega Drive/Genesis, Commodore's SID, the Game Boy, NES and PC Engine among others. You pick a system and then write music that exports to that chip's own playback format, often VGM.
Where FamiTracker and GoatTracker each cultivate a single chip, DefleMask gathers several under one interface, which made it popular for Mega Drive music that had long lacked an equally comfortable tool. It belongs to the same wave of 2000s and 2010s trackers that kept chiptune alive.
