Around 2000-ish I was making music with a similar piece of software called Jeskola Buzz which is also a modular[1] tracker[2].

About 5 years ago I remember thinking it would be cool if I could use that type of UI again and it would be great if something like that existed that could run on my tablet. So I searched and I was amazed when I found SunVox. It's a very capable piece of software, highly recommended

Jeskola Buzz[1] is a very influential tracker. The source code was lost for a while, but I recently learned that development re-started around 2008.

Buzz was amazing. Although it crashed quite a lot it was a marvel for my music production in 2000.
I loved Buzz. It's like something from an alternate timeline.
