furnace

It's this time of year to discover cool projects bringing back memories of the good old days. I am still learning ImGUI and this is a master piece in my opinion. https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace

Hey all, I just released minimal_worlds_ii (https://johnoestmannmusic.com/albums/) - an album of Game Boy music made entirely with Furnace Tracker (https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace). All project files are available through the individual track pages, and all music files are Public Domain / CC0! If you do like what you hear, worth knowing all other albums on that page are Public Domain, and all of the recent ones also have their source projects available (basically since I got really into FOSS and started structuring my projects in a way that could be easily shared) Cheers :)

I tried Furnace Tracker earlier this year. I always wanted to learn more about using trackers to create chiptunes. I followed a tutorial from Button Masher: How to Learn Chiptune Trackers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q37XuOLz0jw The tutorial uses Furnace. It provides a great overview of the components, and then guides you through a hands-on exercise of transcribing an existing demo. This was a nice way to get more familiar with Furnace. Button Masher provides some demos to use, but also there are many demos at the furnace github project: https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace/tree/master/demos

There is also furnace[0] and mmlgui[1]. Which are recently developed programs that people have been using to create chiptune music for retro video game consoles. Including being used by Yuzo Koshiro[2]. [0] https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace [1] https://github.com/superctr/mmlgui [2] https://x.com/yuzokoshiro/status/1800554520256360794

More info about my synth build idea 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.

AY emulation exists in https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace

I recently came across https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace Super impressive tracker and emulator for many different 8 bit synth chips. As a personal project I'm also embarking on a 4x AY-3-8910 chip synth all hooked up to as esp32-s3 for usb midi

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.
