Like, you load or generate a sine wave as a sample and just keep changing the numbers until you've got a rough idea of what does what?
I guess nowadays it's easier to read the source code of mikmod or milkytracker. But back in the day, heck no. MIDI sorta worked, but not great. My recordings were an awful mess because the timings were always slightly off such that it was impossible to have a bar with normal 1/4 notes.
