Our musician from the group "Coders' Academy" read this subject and decided to answer.
Here is the answer:

HeYa, Roman!
Don’t bother with trackers in vain. A tracker (no matter how digital or interactive it is) is still needed. And the more, the better, IMHO. I am a musician myself and therefore
the problems of music editors are very painful for me. After all, on my beloved Specky there are these
trackers (decent of coz) once, twice and bye bye :(((((So, as the folk
wisdom says: “BIG IS BETTER, YES BETTER”
And about graphically, you're right. It's very necessary. And I think that if our Spekov coders wanted this and directed all their skills to do different fractal, zooming, 3D and other effects to write a graphic editor, then everything would have turned out not much worse than on PC (or even better). ;)

ps Personally, I liked S4B - especially the music. And in the end, so much is in vain.Video. Go and subscribe. ;)
Bye , Vladimir :)
... ...Hy, you'll be in Taganrog, come!

I have been working on the Art Works graphic editor for quite some time. This will be a new generation editor, compared to which Art Studio is baby talk. It will implement all the functions that we could come up with.

I saw a lot of different kinds of sophisticated programs that just
couldn’t play football... But all their splendor was crossed out
by a terribly poor user interface...
This is a hint.
Good Luck...
