favorite tracker software?

category: general [glöplog]
In the interests of not-entirely-idle curiosity, I'm wondering what folks' favorite tracking softwares are and why. Non-silly answers appreciated.

sports tracker

FastTracker2. Instruments, interface, nibbles, will load in massive samples without batting an eyelid and even offers to split stereo ones, wav writer (at the time), practical effects list, tempo 6 sync'ing correctly to standard midi timing, sensible amount of channels.

Schism Tracker for me. After leaving Impulse Tracker behind I did give Modplug and Renoise a serious try, but didn't really get to grips with their interfaces despite the features. Finding Schism felt like homecoming in that sense.

OpenMPT. Not only because I code it :). I already loved it before I joined the development teamit, because of its native interface, the great pattern editor, good sample editing capabilities, VST support etc. and now that I code it it's 1000 times better. :D
Milky Tracker because it behaves like Fasttracker 2 :D

For demos: synctracker. For music: .. does anyone use trackers anymore?

I use mainly Renoise, Protracker and Milkytracker.

But I love all trackers! Trackers are awesome tools! :)

impulse tracker is still my favorite. every time i've used milkytracker i've been close to going freakin' insane but then again i've never been a fan of the whole ft2 thing.

still, i don't really use trackers for anything anymore.
xerxes: I guess I didn't consider Renoise to be a tracker, but yeah, comment withdrawn. :)

AHX and more recently Renoise are my favourites :)

@gloom: 19 entries in the BP "unofficial" tracked music compo was pretty unexpected and good :D Trax0ring is certainly still alive, also it's weird how its been falling into the hands of non-sceners (like homebrew game devs for things on stuff like NDS etc) recently.

i worked in FT2 and MPT (not OpenMTP), but have always loved Scream Tracker 3, though never made any good tunes with it.
For just general tracking purposes I can go with anything except OpenMPT, but I prefer the FT2 clones. For actual music making I'm currently using Renoise, which is <3

Buzz ruined my productivity.

FastTracker2 was my favorite back in time, my current favorite being Renoise.
