Hey @leondawson69 this has somewhat come up before but is most likely not going to happen anytime soon.
There was a wish for VST style integration into DAWs:
I think it makes sense to not go down that route, especially since there are - as you say yourself - many alternative solutions for tracking on computers. Renoise being definitely the best choice all in all.
The thing that probably has the highest chance of seeing fruition is this (go vote for it ):
With this the community could build their own tools to convert tracker projects to whatever our hearts desire. Of course there are still limitiations, specifically the synths that have been added in the Tracker+ / Mini, but we could atleast extract the pattern/note information to do someting with (or bring it back).
