Imagine this: there is a guy in the Plus/4 scene who writes his music A) for that cr*p TED sound generator, B) in Assembly to this day. Why does he do that? Because that way he has complete control over every aspect of the music. He can integrate it seamlessly to the other parts of his programmes. And that includes stashing the music data into little nooks and crannies of the memory if the main programme's layout results in a lack of sufficient contiguous area for the tune. He can leave out unused features from his player at will, so memory usage is minimized. He can update his player anytime he founds some problems or figures out some improvements, does not need to wait for someone to do it for him. And he doesn't even have to learn using an editor that is made by someone else who probably has completely different ideas what makes a good user experience. Neither has he have to circumnavigate possible limitations in such editors.
To summarize all the above, different people may have very different ideas about what they seek. The fact that something satisfies all your needs does not mean that the needs of everyone are satisfied.
You need to tickle a bit more your imagination.
Why would you use Win 3.1 today for everyday use if there are Win11, Linux and so on?Yet, you are writing music for an obsolete computer. So why would you use Win 3.1 today? For exactly the same reason you use Enterprise today.
(or Music Box) either. It also uses square waves if I hear them well.It has the capability to select sound style, so even if demo songs use only square waves, Music Box is bit better than you imagine.
why would anyone use other music writing software than Midiplay and Midiconv??Because they want something different than Enterprise MIDI tools can provide? Like music in true chip tune style with glorious burbling arpeggios. Or actual digi-music. Control over the player update rate so not only 1/50th of a second can be the base time unit. Or, horribile dictu, mixing native DAVE voices with digitized samples.
