Great for creating retro video game music with support for many consoles like Sega Genesis, GameBoy, NES, and more.
User-friendly interface with straightforward instrument editing and good chip emulation, making it accessible for beginners and experienced users.
Solid and stable software with helpful community support and plenty of customization options for instruments and sound modification.

Lacks SNES support, which disappoints some users wanting that platform included.
Learning curve can be steep for new users, requiring reading manuals and seeking tutorials to fully understand the tracker terminology and features.
Certain console modes like the C64 mod are very limited, restricting more complex or experimental music creation.

The music aspect is praised for its strong focus on retro video game sounds and chip tune creation, offering extensive customization and versatile input methods. It's ideal for users interested in programming and producing authentic vintage game music, particularly for systems like Genesis and NES. However, some find it less suited for spontaneous improvisation, requiring a learning curve to fully harness its capabilities.
- “On a serious note, actually good for retro video game music and gives a broad array of ways to modify sounds, at least for the Genesis.”
- “Comes complete with point-and-click or (musical) keyboard music entry modes, and ability to customize or create your own instruments or load from samples.”
- “The best way to write music for Sega Genesis, Game Boy, NES, PC Engine, Neo Geo, and Sega Master System.”
- “... completely useless unless you plan on 'programming' everything and not actually improvising or playing the music.”
- “I've yet to make much worth listening to in this software, but I'm figuring it out and it's definitely worth the full price if you like making chip tune music.”
- “Solid and stable, bringing plenty of chip tune sound to the desktop, readily accessible for those ready to make their own music or just experiment a bit.”
