 # m8c

-m8c is a Linux client for Dirtywave M8 tracker's headless mode. It is intended for use with lower end systems like RPi zero.

+m8c is a Linux client for Dirtywave M8 tracker's headless mode. It is intended for use with lower end systems like RPi zero. The application should be cross-platform ready and can be built in Mac OS and Windows (with MSYS2/MINGW64).

 Please note that routing the headless M8 USB audio isn't in the scope of this program -- if this is needed, it can be achieved with tools like jackd, alsa\_in and alsa\_out for example. Check out the guide in file AUDIOGUIDE.md for some instructions on routing the audio.
