Trackers were how people used to do music in games and demos.  The Amiga
had an incredibly advanced for its day 8-bit stereo DAC and could play
back reasonably high-quality samples.  A tracker combines a bundle of
samples with a simple step sequencer to put together tunes.

I'm very interested in a tracker workshop.  I even installed Psytexx
tracker on my phone - now if only I could remember the commands...
