My dad asked me to clean out a room in the basement at our farm. i have found a few neat things, namely 2 Vic 20's!! i'm really interested in commodore music, but most stuff i have found is for C64. i wanted to ask if anyone knew of trackers or ways to make music with my Vics?

i did find http://www.kahlin.net/daniel/victracker/ but i have a mac laptop and i'm not sure how to go about getting programs onto the Vic...

Demodisk 2 in here has the awesome Fisichella, which runs on Unexpanded Vic-20s but you need a disk drive for load & save.  For transfer I've always used tape to get things over and then saved onto a disk drive on the other end, but I can't seem to find a .TAP converter for Mac on a quick look.  (you want something like WAV-PRG)  Incidentally I have a crossplatform Vic tracker in the works but that's probably not what you're looking for.  tbh writing Vic stuff I've found Vice is really about 95% accurate these days and I just drop the music over to a real Vic20 at the end for a final test.  The only thing we had a problem with recently was the volume of samples being different.
