STe regularly used to play 5 channels in menus and title screens. Four samples mixed in software into one HW channel plus the other HW channel.

Not in-game as it eats too much CPU time

Plus you can use the YM PSG at the same time

Its hard to remember there was a 8 channel tracker on the STE, I used my Falcon a lot back in the day, so likely was one there.

True - but not exactly true. Putnik redid xenon to play DMA sound direct from harddisk. It only took a couple % CPU time.
