Pro-Tracker is quite old...  Though it is pretty good with features,
it has NO user interface what-so-ever.  It has no moving parts, so to
speak.  It doesn't let you know that what you did is what you want until
you stop, play it, and then you have to hunt for your mistake, which
is a lot harder since you can't stop the song at where you messed up,
and look at the screen to see the mistake...   It does handle synthizized
sounds pretty well though, ONE thing that the released version of
Sound tracker or Noise tracker DON't do.  Personally, I think if you
want a good music editor, for games and demos, and such, you need to
1.  Make your own  (THE BEST SOLUTION!)
2.  Have someone make one for you....   (EVEN BETTER!)
3.  Buy TFMX (Which I think is pretty good...)
4.  If you are VERY smart...  Buy Mark II sound System
         (Which gives you the best sound and the BEST interface
           for both MIDI and computer keyboard, but takes a long time 
           to learn....
