FamiTracker is a software application for Windows-based computers that allows users to compose music using the sound chips found in the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Famicom gaming consoles. It is a popular tool among chiptune artists and video game developers who want to create music with a retro, 8-bit sound.

Using FamiTracker, users can create original songs or recreate existing NES/Famicom music by inputting notes and effects into a musical grid. The software supports all five sound channels found in the NES/Famicom, including two pulse channels, a triangle channel, a noise channel, and a digital sample channel.

FamiTracker provides a user-friendly interface, with a visual representation of the musical grid, as well as various options for editing and manipulating the sound of each channel. Users can adjust the volume, pitch, and pulse width of each channel, as well as apply effects such as vibrato, arpeggio, and pitch slides. The software also supports features like tempo changes, transposition, and pattern looping.

In addition to composing music, FamiTracker allows users to export their creations as audio files, such as WAV or NSF (NES Sound Format). These audio files can then be used in video games, media projects, or listened to as standalone chiptune music.

Overall, FamiTracker is a powerful and intuitive software application for creating 8-bit music using the NES/Famicom sound chips. Its user-friendly interface and comprehensive feature set make it a popular choice among chiptune enthusiasts and video game developers alike.
