I'm looking for a lightweight digital audio workstation (DAW) program built for editing MIDIs and exporting them to a modern compressed format (such as mp3 or Ogg Vorbis) through emulated sound cards similar to what DosBox provides (see https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Sound). Can be any major modern desktop platform (Windows, Mac OS, Linux).
I will be using the program to write music in "tracker module" style - writing notes with a computer keyboard and mouse, no need for physical instrument connectivity. It does not need to support a piano-style "MIDI keyboard", guitar, or drum interface. (therefore, this question is not a duplicate of Cheapest software with MIDI support and sound effects which specifically requests MIDI keyboard support)
I've already looked into Anvil Studio (https://www.anvilstudio.com/) but it's unclear what it uses to play a MIDI (probably the computer's default "sound font"). It's also unclear what exactly it supports as output formats out of the box other than MID, WAV, and maybe WMA.
