Software with Wav Export

Bosca Ceoil is aimed squarely at people who have never written music. Everything is on one screen, the instruments are chosen from a list, and the scale and chord helpers make it hard to play a wrong note. Blue is the maintained rebuild of the original, and it runs on desktop and in a browser.

Schism Tracker is a faithful rewrite of Impulse Tracker that runs on modern machines and keeps the original keyboard layout, so muscle memory from the DOS original still works. It is sample-based, reads and writes the old module formats, and is a common way to write chiptune that is not tied to one chip.

rFXGen is a small, portable sound effect generator in the sfxr tradition, with wave export and a web version.

sfxr generates jump, laser, explosion and pickup sounds with one click, then lets you tweak the synth parameters. Every later sound effect generator descends from it.
