Furnace is a multi-system chiptune tracker application for composing music using emulated retro sound chips, compatible with DefleMask modules. It supports a huge range of Yamaha FM, square wave, sample, and wavetable chips from classic consoles and computers.
Use cases
- compose chiptune music for retro game consoles
- open and edit DefleMask module files
- make NES music with expansion chips like VRC6
- write Sega Genesis FM music
- create tracker music with C64 SID sounds
- produce music using emulated arcade sound chips
When to choose
- you want a free, actively developed chiptune tracker
- you need DefleMask module compatibility
- you want the widest selection of emulated sound chips in one tracker
When to avoid
- you need a modern DAW with VST plugin support
- you only want to play back chiptune files rather than compose
- you need a lightweight command-line tool
