A gray world of dread

I agree with 4mat, VSTi are a nice way to explore the timbre if you're already familiar with DAWs. On the other hand, limited trackers like Fami provide an insight on why certain techniques have developed (eg. arps). Still, I'd also advice to go software first before investing into hardware. It's easy to acquire and free.

This was the best-worst thing to wake up to. You have made my day.

edit:  Oh yeah, attempt to remain on-topic #1:  DAWs are fun and can provide more than what a tracker can, but half of the fun of the music originated with the limitations each system had.  On the other hand, there's also a significant difference between someone experienced from using a DAW and someone using it to post "XxMY FIRST CHIPSTEPxX."

tl;dr:  imo, I'd follow the mantra of "Know your roots, experiment with them later."

my first tracker was ProTrekkr http://code.google.com/p/protrekkr/
still nice, but maybe buggy?

and then i used openmpt http://openmpt.org/
a good choice

there's so much choice, and you should just trust yourself to be able to figure out a piece of software
pick one and MAKE YOUUUR DREAMS COME TRUEE
