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.
