Furnace Tracker is a cross-platform multi-system open-source music tracker. It has its own save format .fur, but is also able to load and save to DefleMask Tracker .dmf. It is also capable of exporting to .vgm for the systems which supports it. Rom Export is planned. It is currently under heavy development, and updates frequently.
You should check the repository for newest updates: https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace

Capabilities

---

As of 0.5.5, the supported systems/chips are:
- Sega Genesis/Mega Drive (Yamaha YM2612 + TI SN76489)
- Sega Master System (SN76489)
- Game Boy
- PC Engine (HuC6280)
- NES (Ricoh 2A03)
- Commodore 64 (MOS SID 6581/8580)
- "Arcade" (Yamaha YM2151 + Sega PCM)
- Neo Geo (Yamaha YM2610)
- AY-3-8910 (ZX Spectrum, Atari ST, etc.)
- Microchip AY8930
- Philips SAA1099
- Amiga (Paula)
- TIA (Atari 2600/7800)

Systems with multiple sound chips (like Genesis) can be split up so you have JUST the YM2612 or SN if desired. Only case where this is not true as of 0.5.5 is Sega PCM (it can only be used in the Arcade configuration currently). More systems and soundchips are planned in the future.

It is also possible to combine those systems or multiply them in any way you like, which is an advantage it has over DefleMask, which is not capable of doing this.

Most systems and functionalities are most likely to come, since development is still heavily in progress at the moment.

Quick set up

---

Check the releases page

on Github to get any version you like. Newest version makes most sense obviously.

If you have a Github account, you can also download bleeding-edge builds from the actions page

, but there's no guarantee that these builds will be bug free (or that they'll work at all). Use at your own discretion.

Composing
(Info about effect commands will get added as soon as official docs are available)

Competition

---

Basicaly all formats that are listed above and use .vgm as the accepted file format on BotB can be made in this tracker. When we get Rom Export at some point, the list of accepted formats will increase.
There is talk about a possible FurnaceTracker-Format here.
