reliable format and straightforward programming. automation and fx for every channel. adequate mixing and sampling facilities - VST plug in's (if you want
a better mixer strip, synths and various FX).
localised note commands making pitch and volume
settings visible where they need to be. straightforward instrument control (pitch, volume, fine tune. Convert your composition to .Wav and make your own CD's.
Cons
only 64 tracks; takes a while to learn functions even with tutorials. interface looks outdated.
Summary
once you learn how to use this highly developed
software; you will see that it is neither complex, nor inefficient whether composing the groove or song structuring. With a good computer and soundcard there is literally nothing you can't compose on this software. Another 32 tracks would be handy!
Not for me.

Makes my old tracker memories awake!
Jobe1977
Pros
This softare, is using an old style trakker, like the ones that started the musicbbusiness in the 1980 on amiga!
It's easy to use, and good interface
Cons
Can't export to Wave or Mp3 Without paying for it! - therefore not free!
Summary
It's a good basic trakker system, however, the "free" part is gone when you are required to pay for the software to save .wav files!
Othervise it's a pretty good trakker software..<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jun 19, 2010<p/>Has been flagged as malware by several antivirus software, I'm not so sure about this software, Not using it anymore..

Pros
I like rewire support. Real oldschool software. :) What do you want more from a tracker.
Cons
Seems to be buggy the reweire part, sometimes get frozen.<p>The old fashioned user interface makes hard to use it, specially<p>the instruments part.<p>Plays wrong MID Type I.

Universal instrument for creating and creators

MBFprivate
Pros
At the moment this is my prime software for composing.
Cons
There are very few bad things to comment on this software, one thing however; it slightly bothers me that while playing the song, the sound and track "jumps" in moments.
Summary
NOT USER FRIENDLY AT ALL
Vanillaman
Pros
none
Cons
Cannot download your own tracks or experiment with music from your own library. Totally useless and pointless program.
