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:
“I think sometimes, could I only have music on my own terms; could I live in a great city and know where I could go whenever I wished the ablution and inundation of musical waves,—that were a bath and a medicine.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
