NSF Music Composition
The NSF format is popular among composers of chiptune music. There is international interest in new NSF composition, and there are competitions such as the annual FamiCompo Mini competition. The number of original compositions is beginning to rival the number of current commercial NSF game extractions.
There are several trackers available for the composition of NSF music:
- FamiTracker
- MuseTracker
- DefleMask
- NerdTracker II
- NESTracker
- NTRQ
There are also options to compose in standard trackers to output NSF music:
- IT2NSF
- SuperNSF
Additionally there is an MML variant known as ppMCK MML for composing NSF music as a text file that is compiled. Since January 2011, there is an online community called MMLShare dedicated to composing and sharing such files directly within the website.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or composition:
“We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets—we remember only.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Since body and soul are radically different from one another and belong to different worlds, the destruction of the body cannot mean the destruction of the soul, any more than a musical composition can be destroyed when the instrument is destroyed.”
—Oscar Cullman. Immortality of the Soul or Resurrection of the Dead? The Witness of the New Testament, ch. 1, Epworth Press (1958)
