SoundTracker on an Amiga 500.

Later I baught a Kawai K4r and played around a little with Bars & 
Pipes, MED and other software, but never really used the K4r for 
anything but programming sounds that I used in my ProTracker modules.

Eventually, I gave up on "native" sound, moved to "IBM" PC, got a 
SoundBlaster AWE32 and eventually a Roland JV-1080. At that time, I 
used various versions of Cakewalk.
