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:
“Yes; as the music changes,
Like a prismatic glass,
It takes the light and ranges
Through all the moods that pass;”
—Alfred Noyes (1880–1958)
“When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
