Just had this idea earlier today and Lazerbeat convinced me to share.
So! Let the, umm revolution begin!
Pretty sure there's other trackers that can do this. Anyone?

This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
It doesn't matter how tall the screen is if your audience doesn't remember the melody after the song is over
Probably not a big advantage if you use more than 4 tracks.
Gotta try with Renoise and Milky!
Probably not a big advantage if you use more than 4 tracks.
If you can see the entire pattern without scrolling then it can still be an advantage.
Many graphics cards will let you rotate the screen image, and likewise many LCD monitors can be rotated on their stand. As far as the tracker is concerned, it's just running on a screen with a weird resolution. I've found however, on the crappy monitors I've tried this on, that the viewing angle suffers a bit. You get less viewing angle from the side that used to be "down" than from the side that used to be "up". Otherwise it just works normally.
I might try it myself to tell if there's an advantage to it. I have to admit it really looks cool though.
