A modern open-source chiptune tracker that emulates an unusually large number of sound chips in a single interface.
Furnace, released in 2021 by tildearrow, quickly became the scene's tool for cross-platform chip music. Where older trackers were tied to one chip, Furnace supports dozens: SID, AY-3-8910, SN76489, POKEY, SPC700, Game Boy, NES 2A03 and many more.
Its interface inherits the FamiTracker and DefleMask tradition but goes well beyond them, and has effectively displaced DefleMask for many users. Open source (GPL) and able to export to VGM among others, it became the default.
