Yeah, trackers are what we had on the Amiga, and it was mostly just sound samples played at varying pitches. It's definitely got an old school sound to it, but it's only a low track limit that makes it different to what we have now.

Real chip tunes are where you torture an AY-3-8912 chip until it sings for its master.

My intro to chip tune was a guy I met in the mid aughts whose hobby was using old electronics to make music, so yeah, I always thought chip tune was like ripping apart old toys and torturing them to hear their screams
