well, "MOD tracker => pd" is really a rather bold statement (if it can 
be considered a statement at all ;).
the fixed-grid-edit nature of classic trackers and the modular patcher 
paradigm of pd are not obviously compatible; if we speak in evolutionary 
terms, we might be looking for a missing link. to me, the missing link 
between trackers and pd was definitely jeskola buzz, an environment with 
samplers, synths and effects, which could be chained in a modular way. 
the sequencing was done in a tracker interface, but the signal flow was 
more pd-like. those were the days...
