I don't know whether there is a AREXX controllable version of 
NoiseTracker / Soundtracker.  

To handle my music needs I like to digitize 
whatever music / sounds I want and stay away from the SMUS stuff.

It does build a runtime, but it is not the kind you might think.  It
will take a AmigaVision flow and copy all the needed parts to disk
(except fonts) for you.  You still need AmigaVision.

The future?  Only C= knows. :-)
