Is it possible for MSX to make a mod tracker program for Moonsound like the amiga's protracker
it would be nice if it's possible

Its possible. But nobody is making something like that atm.

There are alternatives like Moonblaster for MoonSound, and MoonSound Music Studio (MS2)

The difference between Amiga/pc style trackers and these are that they dont have seperate instrument/volume/effects channels.

There is also SootSound, a xm(fasttracker) to opl4 converter.

Xelasoft created MOD-Edit for MSX turboR , but I have never seen it.

Xelasoft MOD-edit does not support Moonsound... I think Moonsound was created later. Other than that it is quite a nice program and gets the job done... I've created only one MOD with it though... IIRC only music extension it supports is MSX-Audio (to enable stereo effect) NOP has made a nice MOD-player for Moonsound though.

Yes, Xelasoft mod-edit supports needs a turbo R to run and an MSX-Audio (with sampleram) to be used as intended.
Moonsoft also made a modplayer for Moonsound by the way.

Michel Shuqair also made a MOD player for turboR, but that one was never released... I don't know if it was only a player or also a tracker....
