Chiptune ComposerChiptune Music Maker Online

The Chiptune Composer is a small tracker for game music. Draw notes on a piano roll with a scale lock so they stay in key, choose pulse, triangle, saw, a wavetable you draw yourself or a noise drum kit, and chain patterns into a song.

What you hear is what you save: the WAV is rendered to match the live playback. You can start from a demo song, and everything you write is yours to use in your games.

The full edition doubles the tracks, removes the pattern limit and saves what a game needs: a seamless loop, an intro plus loop with loop points, stems and MIDI.
