Sequencer & tracker is a computer-music meta-genre centered on pattern-based composition using step sequencers and sample-based trackers (e.g., Ultimate Soundtracker, ProTracker, FastTracker II, Scream Tracker, Impulse Tracker, Renoise). It emphasizes vertical, grid-driven writing with short samples, limited channels, and hexadecimal effect commands. Compositions are stored as modules (.MOD, .S3M, .XM, .IT) that bundle patterns and samples, enabling small file sizes and platform portability. The aesthetic spans from 8/16‑bit microcomputer timbres to more modern, high‑fidelity sample and VST workflows. Historically tied to the demoscene and game audio, the style covers diverse substyles—electro, techno, jungle/breakbeat, ambient, chip—and is characterized by tight quantization, looped sample instruments, and clever tricks (e.g., arpeggio commands) to simulate harmony and motion under technical constraints.

Bit music is a broad term for music built around the sound and constraints of low bit‑depth digital audio, early sound chips, and primitive computer/console hardware. It foregrounds square and pulse waves, noise channels, simple PCM, and the characteristic artifacts of bit‑crushing and low sample rates. While closely related to chiptune, bit music emphasizes the sonic signature of "the bit" itself: 1‑bit beeper techniques, 4/8/16‑bit sample playback, and tracker-based sequencing that exploits extremely limited polyphony and memory. The result is a bright, pixelated timbre that celebrates computational austerity through clever composition tricks, rapid arpeggios, duty‑cycle modulation, and noise percussion.
