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.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install 8BitForge, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install 8bitforge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
