Chiptune & 8-bit Music Studio

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.

Features:

  • 8-track step sequencer (16 to 32 steps per pattern, up to 8 patterns)
  • Polyphonic synthesizer with oscillator, envelope, filter, and LFO per track
  • Arrangement mode with drag-and-drop pattern chaining
  • Master FX: filter, chorus, delay, reverb
  • Mastering: 3-band EQ + compressor
  • Full parameter automation with breakpoint curves
  • Per-track and global solo/mute
  • Mixer with volume, pan, and send levels
  • Export: WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, AIFF
  • ForgePlayer embed API for web integration
  • Project save and load (.8bf format)
