Impulse Tracker
Hi. You also might like to know about https://schismtracker.org which tries very hard to work like Impulse Tracker (especially if you enable its "classic mode")
And maybe if you are a text mode linux user who liked Impulse Tracker, you will also enjoy this: https://github.com/geocar/mm/

Aphex Twin gave us a peek inside a 90s classic (2017)
Same except I later switched to impulse tracker 2 as it was more keyboad driven. I think there is an opens source clone called schismtracker[1]. I should try it.
I made lots of tracks at the time, from the most mainline to very experimental, it was a good time.
I also purchased a renoise license but it didn't click. But maybe that was just me being a dad and having much less free time, patience and possibility to isolate myself in a man cave.

For anyone familiar with ScreamTracker and ImpulseTracker from the MSDOS days, a cross-platform IT clone SchismTracker is still maintained and relatively recently transitioned from SDL1.2 to SDL2:

Dos-like: Engine for making things with a MS-DOS feel, but for modern platforms
Eh, the Borland Grahics Interface (BGI) style TUIs were kind of awful. I hated the Borland Turbo C IDE in no small part because of that style TUI. It just wasted so much precious character space on TUI frames and other decorations.
More of my fond TUI memories from that era were the bespoke ones in the demo/art/music/bbs scenes. Those in many cases were still character based but seemed to make better use of the screen space and at least more aesthetically pleasing character sets.
Scream Tracker / Impulse Tracker comes to mind as one example:

Which you can still enjoy today in a cross-platform clone via SchismTracker:
