JJazzLab is a free and open-source application which automatically generates backing tracks for any song.
You type in chord symbols, select a rhythm (style), then JJazzLab generates a complete backing track with drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, strings, etc. JJazzLab can read Yamaha style files, which gives you access to thousands of free styles.
JJazzLab creates realistic and non-boring backing tracks, which can be easily customized even for complex songs.

JJazzLab's answer:
As a jazz/funk pianist I have tried most of the auto-accompaniment or backing tracks apps (Band In a Box, etc). They are good indeed and I had some fun at first, but I quickly got frustrated: I missed the intensity dynamics which help develop interesting solos. I was aware that a program will never match a real band, but I had a few ideas how to do better. That’s why I decided to start developing JJazzLab.

The bottom of the page says it's on The Mod Archive. What format is the song in? If it's still in its original modular format (as opposed to rendered to MP3 or WAV) you should be able to open it in OpenMPT and save the samples from there. Source: almost 2 years ago
The software that is used to make the music is (likely) OpenMPT, which is a software I use quite often for making Tracker Music. Tracker music is a really fun form of music software to work with if you don't know how music notes work but do know how computers work. If you want an example of how Tracker Music sounds, check out Dues Ex's title theme, which was composed entirely with a older tracker. Source: about 2 years ago
There is also a type of app that is more sophisticated than Audio Selection Sequencer2, but simpler than a typical DAW sequencer. The type of application that I'm thinking of is called a "Tracker". Music Trackers were very popular back in the '90's, but their popularity has declined considerably since DAWs became common on PCs. One of the few music trackers that still exists is OpenMPT https://openmpt.org/. Source: about 2 years ago
When making mockups I typically use OpenMPT. With the 8-tap Sinc Resampler: Kaizer Window Filter at 72%(?) bandwidth. Didn't test it extensively for accuracy but it outputs a warm sound not unlike the SNES, bass becomes "plastic" in a similar fashion. For echo I just use the default Direct X Audio Effects Echo plugin but it's inaccurate. Another thing with OpenMPT is it has a decent sample editor so you can work... Source: over 2 years ago
My music theory teacher mentioned that in the days before 12 equal that G# and Ab were not the same pitch. IIRC he said that G# was lower than Ab. That was enough to send me down the microtonal Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole once years later I got my hands on something that could let me explore tuning other than 12 equal - and that was a music tracker. This is one that survives to this day and now has native... Source: over 2 years ago
