a friend of mine plans to purchase a mac and is looking for a (mod) tracker software. my hosts query over here came up with only "renoise" as result.
anyone knows other mac osx trackers or is this too special interest?

This is all that came up at mac music:

I use the renoise windows version and can say after demoing other PC trackers before it, it is the one I find most comfortable to use. I used to use octamed on the amiga and found the leap to renoise was not too difficult. If your friend comes from a tracking background renoise should certainly be ok.
The only issues with renoise on the mac atm afaik is highish CPU use but I believe optomizations are due for the next versions.
If you have any queries on it you can ask on the renoise forums where some mac users regularly visit:

There is a demo version also which only has ASIO and wav rendering options disabled.
