by the way, did you see what happened to the place where the word “Jabbanoise” has been invented?
to answer the question:
- 1993 Startrekker on Amiga
- 1994 FT1 on PC
- 1996 FT2
- 2002 Renoise
i’ve heard bad fracne is cause by eating too much chocolate…but i think that’s just a myth…
basically i used Sonic Foundary Acid, along with:
-hammer head drums
-steinberg beatbox
-hifi record deck, portable tape recorder with inbuilt mic, cassette personal stereo (you could sorta scratch by holding down pause)
-rebirth
-some crap synth programme which had some nice sounds but produced these horrible pops which i could never get rid of (latency i guess, but, i probably didn’t know about latency then).
-fender strat copy and practice amp

i made loads of stuff with that setup, as evidenced by the two masterpiece, magnum opus albums linked above (if anyone is curious). 
i sold a couple of these to my mates at school at the time for a fiver each. 
i also used a couple of tunes as coursework to pass my GCSE music.
then i got a Roland MC-505, but i could never really be bothered to programme more than one bar of music in that for each song. i also used fruity loops for a short time, played around with reason and stuff like that, various other bits. and CoolEdit.
then renoise, “and the rest is history… as is the bit before”.
The ones that count:
- scream tracker 3
- fast tracker 2.08
- velvet studio 2
- fast tracker 2.09
- milky tracker
The ones that don’t count:
- mad tracker 2
- modplug
- skale
- buzz
protracker (1993)
fasttracker (1994)
fasttracker2 + D’lusion’s X-Tracker (rarely) (1995)
madtracker2 (2000)
cubase (aborted after one tune, because it was incompatible with me) (2001)
.
(void) (2002-2003)
.
renoise (since 2003)
- Some Ejay-lookalike for Macintosh somewhere around 1995
- Fast Tracker 2 in the late '99
- Some attempts with e.g. Fruity Loops, Mad Tracker and Cubase
- Switched to using Renoise full time late '05. Still using Cubase/Nuendo besides it.
<1996 - Aegis Sonix on Amiga 500 
1996 - Modedit (a version from a open turbo pascal source but completly rewritten by my brother)
1997 - Digitracker 3
1998 - FT2
2001 until mid 2002 - still struggling with Fasttracker and it’s limitations. Tried several other apps from MT2, Baks FT3 (now Skale, but it was in a pretty unuseable alpha stage at this time), Buzz over Fruity Loops and Cubase. Without any luck and satisfaction…
Mid 2002 - Renoise 1.0 
*edit
just added something, which I’ve totally forgotten about
-scream tracker
-Impulse tracker
-modplugtracker
Fun times! 
1996 FT2
2002 FL3
2003 Renoise
I use the force.
Foo, this may come as a shock to you… but I am your father.
- some turntablism, punk bands ect…
2003: An old version of FL
Early 2004: Korg ER-1 and Steinberg Nuendo + various VSTs.
2004 - Present: The love of my life, N.I. Reaktor
I’ve also been known to use Reason, but I find it quite unyielding.
I started using Renoise in 2007 and since then, it’s been 1/2 of my “primary instrument”, the other half being Reaktor.
IT, Jeskola Buzz.
ScreamTracker 1 (1991, with a Soundblaster 8bit Mono)
Fast Tracker 1
ScreamTracker 3
Fast Tracker 2
Buzz
Cubase (not fun at all, didn’t do sh-t and I just bought a virus 
Renoise (behold and there was light! )
boring - octamed(amiga)>ft2>renoise
impulse tracker after J.Buzz (10 years)
Started with ProTracker (Amiga) then Ft2 (a lot) and still using MED3.00 on Amiga500 sometimes…
But beware (!) - renoise is still the most dangerous addiction of all - (!)
Started with FL Studio and made like 2 songs in it.
Then on to Nanoloop (which I still use) and PxTone.
Then I got Renoise.
