Good tracker for Mac OS X?

Hi everyone, I have been dabbling in music composition for a little while now using ModPlug Tracker. I have become quite fond of the tracker style of music; it is great for "game" sounding music. With a bit of care the file sizes can be made much smaller than MP3 or Ogg Vorbis as well, which is good for downloads. I recently got a MacBook Pro as my laptop. It has been working out great, but I have not found a tracker that I like as much as ModPlug Tracker. Most of the trackers out there are designed for the old school composers who like the look and feel of the old DOS trackers like Impulse Tracker. Unfortunately that means the interface is hard to learn and use and does not incorporate the mouse very well, meaning the learning curve is very steep and I am unsure how efficient I would be with these trackers. Does anyone have any recommendations for good music trackers that run on Mac OS X? I am not too fussed about what format they use, as long as it is common enough to be able to be usable in my games, or at least translatable to a compatible format. I would prefer something easy and efficient to use, at least in your opinion. Otherwise I will either attempt to learn one of the more old school trackers, such as Schism Tracker, or just stick with the Windows PC for music composition. Thanks in advance!
