Fruity Loops, a legendary DAW for electronic music, blew my mind when I launched it on this Pentium II. Late 90s versions look, feel and sound like a cross-over between a modern DAW and an old-school tracker/sequencer. Multiple channels, multiple pipelines for effects. Each channel can be a sample or a synth.

I had to take a photo of the splash screen because pressing Prt Scr cannot capture it due to high CPU load.

I have both FL2 and FL5 on this machine. FL2 comes with a DrumSynth and TS404, and FL5 also comes with Sytrus. There are demo tracks made by deadmaus. These tracks use too many effects in Sytrus, so I can't play them live on this computer, but I can play them part-by-part or "export".
