About

Furnace - the biggest chiptune tracker ever made! it allows you to create songs using a music tracker interface for several computer/game console/arcade sound chips. it also offers DefleMask compatibility, allowing you to import your songs and even export them back for interoperability. rationale for intense profanity: the tracker itself is clean, but a few demo songs and instruments contain a small amount of strong language.
