Chiptune & 8-bit Music Studio

ScreenshotScreenshotScreenshotScreenshotScreenshot

8BitForge is a chiptune and 8-bit music production studio for desktop. Create complete tracks from scratch using an 8-track step sequencer with up to 32 steps per pattern, a polyphonic synthesizer with multiple waveforms (sine, square, sawtooth, triangle, noise), and a full arrangement mode to build multi-pattern songs.

Shape your sound with a complete master FX chain including filter, chorus, delay, and convolution reverb. Polish your mix with a 3-band parametric EQ and multiband compressor in the mastering section. Automate every parameter — mixer volumes, FX settings, and master effects — across the full arrangement timeline.

Export your finished tracks in WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, or AIFF format. Embed any project directly into a website using the ForgePlayer JavaScript API, which plays back your arrangement with full automation, song mode, and real-time audio rendering — no server required.
