Really enjoying the sound of these. Granted, big fan of Cave Story's brand of simple synths and many-layered or intricate bits; one thing I think simple synths are good for is making complex melodies, where you can easily pick the layers and finer bits out!
Also, I will second the switch to FL Studio. Tracker programs and simple synths like pxtone and Bosca Ceoil are fun, but making good stuff in 'em can be tedious! I don't know how to use 9/10 of FL's mixing and mastering features, but the VSTs, soundfonts, and midi-style composition is enough for me. I've heard Reaper is comparable, but I've never used it. (Also if you can't afford the most recent version, it might be worth pirating an old version of FL Studio to get a feel for it. It hasn't changed much).
