This is what a so called Tracker program looks like, and yes every second of sound is programmed one bleep by one bleep and strung together, oldschool .MOD files had only 4 channels, later on with more advanced trackers you has 32 channels or more so you can imagine how timeconsuming it has been to create music on a computer in the early years, there were trackers for Commodore 64's and Amiga's, Atari's and of course the PC.

^^ That is one of those Demo's from the early 90's it might look a bit crude but do remember there were NO 3D cards, NO CGI programs, the size of that demo is 2 Megabyte, yes it fits on two floppies...

^^ Thats the download location of the original demo, if you have a nice 80486 with 4Mb RAM and a Soundblaster Pro/16/compatible card or a Gravis Utrasound then you can play it.
