AHX

1996 Abyss. Nuff said. 4 channels, entirely synthetic, and uses pattern matrix.

PreTr4cker

2019 Abyss. A "Crosstracker" (compose on Windows, plays back on Amiga), by the same group that did AHX. It is synthetic, but not real time (samples generated at runtime). Although file size is not as small as AHX. Seems very capable of more sophisticated sounds, even somewhat realistic percussive sounds. The downside is that some noticeable loading is required before playback while the samples are generated.

Musicline Editor

1993 Christian/Conny Cyréus. 8 voices. Sample+synth. Very capable synthetic instruments.

OctaMED

1990 Teijo Kinnunen. Mostly a ProTracker clone (Uses pattern order system), but has synthetic instruments.

SoundMon

Brian Postma, 1989. 15 sample+synth ins, pattern matrix. Formats: .bp (1.1), .bp3 (2-3).

AS3 source, JS source, x86 asm source

SoundMon 2.2 (Amiga, 1990)

SoundMon 2.2 (DOS, 1995)

BSEditor 0.3 (Win, 2000)

Digital Mugician

1990 Thalamus Software (Reinier van Vliet). Sample+synth - based on SidMon. It uses pattern-matrix. Might be able to "draw" waveforms?

file extensions are .dmu and .mug.

Future Composer

1990 Supersero/Superions. Sample+synth. Seems to also use pattern matrix. Based on Hippel's routines.

Art of Noise

1993 Bastian Spiegel (Twice/Lego). 4/8 voices. Sample+synth. Uses traditional ProTracker-like sequences.

Delta Music

Sidmon

1989 by Reinier van Vliet (Rhino/Team Hoi). Sample+synth.

Sidmon II

1990 Unknown/DOC.

Sonic Arranger

1990 BrainTrace Design. Shareware. 4 channels, sample+synth. Seems decent actually, but not supported in FlodJS, and barely any code online.

File parser: https://github.com/IllidanS4/AmiMus/blob/master/SonicArranger.cs

Synth Pack

1989-1992 Karsten Obarski. 4 channels, subsongs. sample+synth.

AProSys

1989 Petter Urkedal. 4 chan, sample+synth. Can't tell if it uses a pattern matrix. But very obscure format. Has potential though, has some filter stuff going on.

Fred Editor

1989 Frédéric Hahn. Samples+synth. Pattern matrix but no transpose.

JamCracker

1991 M Gemmel. Sample+synth.

Pumatracker

1991 Agile. Sample+synth. Uses a pattern matrix.

EarAche

1990 Morten Groulef. Obscure as hell. Sample+synth

Face The Music

Commercial. 8 voices with supposedly powerful "SEL" (Sound Effect Language - 50 commands)

Can't even play these files...

GlueMon

1990 Lars Malmborg. Seems capable producing small files. No samples? Has noise generator maybe. No wavetravelling? Also no screenshots or code or format descriptions. But seems like a pure chiptune-like format.
