From Wikipedia

A music tracker, or simply a tracker, is a type of music sequencer. The music is represented as discrete musical notes positioned in several channels at chronological positions on a vertical timeline.

A music tracker's user interface is traditionally number based. Notes, parameter changes, effects and other commands are entered with the keyboard into a grid of fixed time slots as codes consisting of letters, numbers and hexadecimal digits.
