## Introduction

The [Dirtywave M8 Tracker](https://dirtywave.com/products/m8-tracker) is a portable sequencer and synthesizer, featuring 8 tracks of assignable instruments such as FM, waveform synthesis, virtual analog, sample playback, and MIDI output. It is powered by a [Teensy](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/) micro-controller and inspired by the Gameboy tracker [Little Sound DJ](https://www.littlesounddj.com/lsd/index.php).

While Dirtywave makes new batches of units available on a regular basis, M8 is sometimes sold out due to the worldwide chip shortage and high demand of the unit. To fill this gap and and to allow users to freely test this wonderful tracker, [Timothy Lamb](https://github.com/trash80) was kind enough to make the [M8 Headless](https://github.com/Dirtywave/M8HeadlessFirmware) available to everyone.

Note that this project is for educational and testing purposes only. If you like the M8 and you gel with the tracker workflow, please support [Dirtywave](https://dirtywave.com/) by purchasing the actual unit. You can check its availability [here](https://dirtywave.com/products/m8-tracker). Meanwhile, you can also subscribe to Timothy Lamb's [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/trash80).

This is a fork of [laamaa](https://github.com/laamaa)'s fantastic cross platform [M8 tracker headless client](https://github.com/laamaa/m8c) or M8C for short and includes some modifications based on [rasprague's fork](https://github.com/rasprague/m8c-piboy). The modifications are the following: Add two special button combinations for resetting the display and quitting the program before shutting down the Raspberry Pi; Add the option to disable the mouse cursor.
