I've got the tight, focused interface of IT in a single-tasking environment, with no creativity-sapping driver issues, and direct control over all my MIDI synths - it feels like I'm *playing* them instead of only willing them to do what I want! Finally! I'm happy to say it works *amazingly* well.

I tracked down an exceedingly rare (in New Zealand where I am now) GUS PnP Pro & AWE64 for it, ordered a SIMM adapter for the AWE off this Tripod website that hasn't been updated since before the Y2K bug was a thing, and put it all together. in 2013 I built a complete custom ISA rig just to run DOS & IT again. I discovered via DosBox that Impulse Tracker's MIDI is rock solid and amazing, but running it that way isn't satisfactory because DosBox doesn't emulate the AWE64/Interwave or MMX (needed for simultaneous samples+MIDI out and filters respectively) so you're stuck using it as a MIDI only tracker with the MPU-401 driver. If you've ever tried to get the three-headed demon that is ALSA/JACK/PulseAudio to cooperate you know what I'm talking about.) (On that note, Linux's audio system also *suuuuucks* just as hard, at least on most mainstream distros. I've even tried it on a MacBook Pro with a USB-MIDI interface, aka *the* reference setup for amateur musicians these days, and it was still totally off.

If it works at all it's so full of timing errors it's unusable. Schism was just like old times except for one fatal flaw: its MIDI *suuuuucks*. Renoise I got fairly good with but for some reason never completed a track.

Wine can't run Buzz, but I'd started using Renoise and Schism by then.

But I became increasingly annoyed with having to keep a windows install around and went Linux-only on all my PCs by mid 2012. I *love* Buzz and would still be using it to this day if it were multi-platform. Everything from my 'hiatus over!' debut of Proterozoic to Eddie at the Mental Institution was done in Buzz, controlling external synths via Polac's MIDI out. By 2011~2012 I was writing on Buzz almost exclusively (its IT-like controls helped), especially after the New Buzz versions came along. Then there was a hiatus of ten years (to the day!) from 2001 to 2011 during which I didn't *finish* any tracks, but started quite a few in IT, Buzz, and Psycle. But I probably made about 5-6 in that program!) (I only have one of my 669 modules anymore! It. Eventually Impulse Tracker came along and I used that alongside ST3 for a while. The piano roll & musical staff interfaces didn't stick and I soon migrated to Composer 669 and ST3 in one or the other order. I started in the early '90s with Adlib Visual Composer and KingMod, but never made anything noteworthy (heh) with them. I migrated from Composer 669 & ST3 to IT to Buzz to Renoise to SunVox to Schism and finally back to IT. I'm too lazy to make the effort to switch now. Even if using a tracker that supports the IT format brings separation of instruments and samples, more channels, NNAs, and a built-in resofilter effect. Schism and OpenMPT don't really feel right, and either way I can't be bothered to learn a new set of keybindings now, haha. I used to use Renoise as my tracker of choice, but I would spend hours fiddling with DSPs and mixing. That's not happening ever, but a man can dream.

Actually, ideally Milky would support all the extra features in IT, haha. Ideally, it'd have more sample processing effects in the sample editor so I don't have to drag things into Audacity/bake a DSP chain into a sample in Renoise, but that's just wishful thinking. I've memorized nearly all the keybindings so I can do things pretty much reflexively in it now - it no longer gets in the way of me making a song. MilkyTracker is my preferred one nowadays.
