The device looks gorgeous.
I did a little bit of music creation with an Amiga 500 and Soundtracker, ~30-32 years ago.
What would be an equivalent software-only thing to warm up to this again, before I decide I really need to purchase this thing?

There's also hardware trackers like the Tracker and Tracker Mini from Polyend [2] and the Dirtywave M8 [3] that might interest you as well. Their workflow is closer to what you used in the past.

In general, teenage engineering devices look fantastic and are really capable in the right hands, but they look deceptively simple while they are in fact really complex to make good music with. I know of a few people who burnt $1k on an OP-1 because they thought they could make music easily with it.
