OpenMPT is not very "leet" in chiptune screen because it's approachable and easy to use.
In 2012 a new artist named Fearofdark released his first album Motorway and it absolutely blew everyone away. This was a pro-level album made by an apparent beginner.
It soon came out that this wasn't actually even a "chiptune" album made with a proper tracker manipulating a programmable sound generator chip, it was actually made in OpenMPT with chiptune samples. A total noob move.
It was a scandal.
I loved this because it shows if you have true talent, you can use any tool to make a masterpiece. It didn't detract from my enjoyment of the album at all. Maybe even increased it.
Enjoy the original album here: https://archive.org/details/UBI055 https://archive.org/details/UBI055
