  • Hoontech Soundtrack 97 PCI
  • Gravis UltraSound, PnP, Max
  • Pro Audio Spectrum
  • Pro Audio Spectrum 16
  • Interwave
  • PC Speaker
  • DAC on LPT

It’s all in assembly and can be built with Turbo Assembler 4.1

  1. I used this. Excellent 0th generation tracker, created tons of songs with it. On CPUs with MMX, lowpass and highpass filtering was a killer feature compared to other trackers e.g. scream tracker, fast tracker, digitracker…!
