I just got ProTracker V1.1 in yesterday and it's great!  i liked v1.0 when
i got it but it didnt work with my harddrive so i had to to trash it
This version is excellent. it works great with hardrives.
it has a lot of configurable stuff. many bugs are fixed. I can finally
set up a presetlist with all the samples on my HD.
it has an improved sample editor (though i cant sample with my perfect
sound cause it has a digital gain)  the greatest thing is that you can switch
between Vblank and CIA timing.  so now i can run it in PAL mode and see
the entire screen, and using CIA timing i can adjust a tempo
setting and play songs that were written in pal or ntsc at the correct
seed! They took out the MIDI stuff except for MIDI input from a keyboard
(which is all you need) It even has a setting for slowing it down if your
running with an accelerator. it is supposed to run under 2.0 but i had
a problem with it, but that might have been  because of mach III.
oh yah, they fixed the bug that lets you click on workbench icons
in the background which was in all other trackers i have tried.
(i sometimes would have ran several programs in the background while
composing a tune!)
plus it has a lot more features to numerous to count!!!

In my opinion it is the best!
