FamiTracker VS SunVox

Broadly speaking, most would compose on actual instruments, notate on staff paper, and then program the audio chip instructions manually, in Music Macro Language, or using a custom utility developed by the musician or studio. Tracker programs became available starting with the Amiga platform in the late 1980s, but most trackers were still written specifically for the hardware the program ran on. Today, NES...

You can use a program like FamiTracker (tracker-style interface) or FamiStudio (midi/piano-roll-style interface) which reproduce the NES's limitations and can export .nsf files which you can play back on an actual NES or emulator. Source: about 1 year ago

Try famitracker. It is a popular software used to make authentic 8bit music. Source: over 1 year ago

I'm really not sure if this is close, but FamiTracker has somewhat of a text interface. Source: almost 2 years ago

🤦‍♂️ when I read the title I thought you meant classic videogame consoles and thought COOL I know about FamiTracker for authentic NES music, and was excited that maybe people would post similar things for other systems. 🤓🤷‍♂️😅. Source: about 2 years ago

Sunvox (https://warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox) has full support for microtonality! Of course the workflow is quite different from other daws (it's a tracker) but it's worth checking out imo. Source: about 1 year ago

So I'm just gushing because this app has eaten my life lately and that's okay. Compared to like, a full blown DAW like Live 11 or something it's not perfect (is Live 11 even perfect?), but for my preference, there are overwhelmingly more positives than there are negatives. Check it out. Hell, throw Night Radio a few bucks even if you get it for free. That's all. Source: almost 2 years ago

No need to try as it already exists: Any Linux tablet with Reaper and a couple soft synths and a decent external sound card if needed would do a lot more for a lot less. A good portion of the cost of this device could be justified only if it really had motorized knobs and faders, which are shown in the video but not mentioned among the features; that would be a completely unnecessary gimmick (in such a device)... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Late reply, but I would like to recommend SunVox as usual: https://warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox/. Source: about 2 years ago

I have Sunvox, Caustic 3, and FakeSID on my phone. I don't do that much with them. I really just use them to do music while on a train journey when I don't want to kill my laptop battery. The first two have got desktop versions, so that makes it much easier to refine them when you're back at your computer. Source: about 2 years ago
