If you like the music from demoscene, much of it was written on a tracker sequencer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_tracker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_tracker. I've been playing with Polyend's hardware tracker recently and I love it. If you want to try a tracker out yourself Renoise is great (much cheaper) option for PC/Mac/Linux. There are also several free trackers out there with varying levels of practicality (I only know Polyend and Renoise so I can't really suggest which free ones are good). There's a bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of the workflow it's tons of fun!

I can also recommend Sunvox as a great tracker, but it’s much more than that. Free on most platforms and around 10 usd on iOS/android.

  Sunvox is my favorite software, I can hardly remember any other software with so much personality + utility + smoothness + multi platform

    One of the example songs actually makes the user interface slowly morph into a sort of demo (!!!!), wait for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHFSrxlouh8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHFSrxlouh8 PS. Demoscene is by far the best thing to ever come out of computing, as a whole.

      Not to knock on Sunvox or NightRadio (both awesome!), but that effect only exists in the video. It doesn't happen when playing the demo song on the software, and they confirmed it was made with a video editor [1].

        Fair, thanks for the note. The pixel scrolling felt like an in-editor effect, and I was overall blown away...
