furnace VS E-FamiTracker

https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace/discussions/1605

I already have the chips. 10x AY from AliExpress for £7 and they turned out to be the real deal.

If you haven't heard of it, there's another cool tracker making great strides right now, Furnace:

https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace

Allows you to compose tunes on several chips / platforms in the one song.

Download the software from their releases page (in the "assets" down under the changelog).

Open source software can sometimes contain malware. That said, in this case I think it's unlikely. These malware scanners are based on heuristics and will often warn you about software that hasn't been downloaded by many people yet. Just make sure you're getting it from the real source: https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace/releases

Maybe you also just want “generic old console sound” but I’m going to try to be more on target here. This is a fairly new, standalone software environment with support for emulating many different classic sound chips. I’m not sure exactly how it works in SNES mode and it may not be that user friendly if you’re used to a DAW but it at least claims to have an SNES mode and it’s free.

My favorite tracker in my opinion is Furnace. It supports many systems, from the PC speaker to to the most recent FM soundcards. It also has a customizable interface and is fully DefleMask compatible. It's completely free too! Link to Furnace Tracker

does anyone have a working link for e-famitracker? all i can find is this dead github link https://github.com/EulousDev/E-FamiTracker/

Well, looking forward to it!😄 Speaking of Famitracker, there’s this other Famitracker fork called E-Famitracker that has all of the features from 0CC, J0CC, and Dn-Famitracker, but also adds new sound chips from other platforms that weren’t originally part of the Famicom extended sound format, with the SAA sound chip(plus the option to use 2 SAA sound chips at a time, allowing you to make Creative Music System style music), the AY8930(which is the official successor to the AY sound chip), the SID, and the 5E01(which is an original sound chip made for this tracker, and is an upgraded version of the 2A03), with the SN7, T6W28(with the 2 6 bit Dacs included), Tia, Pokey, and the classic AY all next on the list to be coming soon to the platform, and all of these sound chips can be used alongside every sound chip in the Famicom extended sound format, and in addition to all of that, we also got MMC5 PCM support(a dream us Chiptune artists have been waiting for many years to come true, although the build for MMC5 PCM support isn’t out yet)!😄 https://github.com/EulousDev/E-FamiTracker https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM98E7f5OROZ1vZWtM6Pd2LFU1US-aMzk
