It is not really chiptune, though, but close enough - music made with the sounds of disk drives.

i built notebin.fm strictly as a passion project for my love of MIDI tracks and chiptunes.

i am working on an open library similar to freesound.org but for MIDI and algorithmic MIDI sketchpad for chiptune writing. Right now, the engine is locked to NES 8-bit voice limitations to give you a quick 8-bar motif when staring at a blank tracker or DAW grid.

there are no paywalls, no ads.. free sign up allows you to save, edit and manage your MIDI rolls. i am fortunate enough that this is a self funded project hence why i am not asking for $10 for 5 MIDI gens or something dumb like that.

How it works:
* 8-Bit NES Constraints: Every seed outputs a 4-channel .mid file mapped to 8-bit voice layouts (Melody, Chords/Arps, Triangle Bass, and Noise Drums).

* Rules, Not Audio Renders: Uses code-based music theory rulesets for scale harmonization and voice leading, outputting clean, unrendered MIDI notes.

* In-Browser Preview: Audition seeds directly in the browser via Web Audio and Freesound samples before downloading.

* Permanent Addresses: Every seed gets a permanent link so you always get the exact same notes at that URL.

Here is a live example from the engine:

Looking for feedback:
Before I heavily expand into 16-bit console chips like the SNES (SPC700) or Neo Geo (FM synthesis), I would love to get your thoughts on how the NES voice arrangements feel. Does the channel separation map well to your tracker/DAW setup?

What it doesn't do:
It won't write a full song or export tracker formats directly. It is just an 8-bar starting point so you can drag the .mid into your setup and do the actual composing.

Welcoming any feedback on the generator here:

So, this is kind of a crazy idea I had. Pretty much a 6 channel chip with fractional pulse waves, Tri/Saw Envelopes, Wavetable, LSFR Noise and PCM. Plus Pulse/Envelope/Noise mixing, stereo and mirroring functions. This is a crappy ass schematic, but hopefully you can understand what is intended (forgot to add mirroring to it).

I'm not actually working on it, it's just another useless idea of mine. I only have a rudimentary high school level with learning ICs and digital electronic stuff. If anyone that knows more about the technical side of sound chips, I'd appreciate some input, though. Just to know if it could idealy function as a real chip.

You can tell it's an amalgamation of a few chips, though I couldn't find anything on Furnace that does all this. Which is why I'm made the "schematic". I was also considering FM in this too, but I'm not sure how that would work. Frankly, idk what I'm doing, I just have ambitious thoughts, I guess.

I hope you do not mind me posting this here even if it does not exactly fit what you guys do.

Here´s an album I made by sampling my Twisted Electrons HapiNES (inspired by the RP2A07 8-bit microprocessor from Nintendo Entertainment System). The HapiNES is a groovebox but it is mono out only and was hard to get what I wanted from the monophonic sequencers. My solution was to sample it instead and use the sounds within my Roland SP-404 MKII. The tracks are short and repetitive old school hip-hop and electronic music ranging from 52 second to just over 2 minute. Take a listen if you have time.

I dislike reposting (bc redundancy), but I have nothing better to post here. I'm still having issues with procrastinating my tracks. I wish I was as creatively competent and consistent as others. Still, I hope you enjoy it.

I've been working on a specification for web-native plugins. To kick the tyres, with considerable AI assistant help I'm building a browser-based DAW. But it's really early days, big job.

However, given that a small screen isn't much use for a full DAW, I've made a mini player. The first preset is chiptunes, based on a port of the 8astard chip emulator. After loading the preset you can scroll down to change the parameters. The beat & tune are generated algorithmically, there are a lot of knobs to play with.

It can be installed locally but will need network whenever a new plugin is to be loaded.

Second to the last post in this series of mine of going through all the songs in my latest Dirtywave M8 album made on the road across the Europe. This one was born on a trip to Oulu, the city I used to live in while studying at uni. Still visiting there every once in a while to catch up with the local scene.

I was inspired by RRthiel's "What A Mario World" EP and wanted to make my own take on alternate Retro Super Mario Bros music, this time for Mario Bros DS. It was a fun challenge to make a song as bouncy and welcoming as possible!

song i made for a game jam i attended to this week,

the sound designer at first said that it was "too sad" for our game, lol

(game jam was FirestarterJam2026)

does anyone have, or know where i can find the song voyage to eternity by big jim? i have found a few placers where i can find a s3m file in a few places but no midis. PLEASE let me know if you know where i can get it its one of my fav songs

i tried posting in r/midi but i couldnt because they hate everything ever umm but i was redirected here idk if its still even the right place to do it but idk
