Long post, my apologies. Please understand.

If anyone asks, NO. I don't mean A furnace. I mean the new chiptune tracker going by the name of Furnace.

It is a tracker that does chiptune music, as many do, but unlike several trackers, this one does multiple sound chips across different systems, key of which are very famous in their heyday, others obscure. What's more, it does multi-chiptune, meaning it can play multiple chips and even duplicates of said chips to broaden loads of exceptional possibilities with composing music, even creating untold, unspeakably cooler sound effects than singular sound chips could do by themselves alone.

That program is completely any chiptune musician/soundmaker's greatest dream come true! What I could imagine from that, well, it may very well be... endless plethoras of uses that program does. Some people that have done music on prior trackers can actually feel the limitless creative freedom they've long sought in a program.

People could redo prior themes that had to adhere to sound chip channel limitations on one system with additional channels. People could make very cool all-amazing sound effects with all kinds of chips & chip duplicates to give them lots of amazing impacts than ever before! Imagine the sounds you could make with it! It even has its own file format to boot.

Here are a few musical examples so you can get the idea of what I mean.

Presently, plenty of sound chips are placed in that program, but more are on the way, increasing creativity in music and sounds a lot more than ever before.

The chip names are technical sounding, but they are still all brilliant to have for music and sound making. Bear with me on this.

NOTE: The program, while brilliant, is still in the works, but not behind closed doors, if you know what I mean.

The link is there for any who would want to give it a try, if you're up to it, that is. The download is FREE. Practice is recommended. - https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace

Go crazy. Make very cool music. Create way cooler sounds!

You'll LOVE it! Many people have, and more will, too.
