ChipTone
ABOUT
Hello! ChipTone is a free tool for generating sound effects, mainly for games but they could be used for anything you like. I'm currently working to flesh out the sampler and the sequencer. This tool was originally made in Flash, but, uh, yeah, that didn't work out. So now it's in HTML5 instead! And Windows and Mac downloadable versions too.
I hope you find this tool useful, and if you make anything cool using it, I'd love to see!
LICENCE
All sounds created using ChipTone are FREE to use for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, under the CC0 licence.
CREDITS
ChipTone is being built by me, Tom Vian. You can reach me at tom@sfbgames.com or @SFBTom.
The colours, icons and ChipTone logo were designed by Adam Vian. He can be found at @SFBDim.
ChipTone was partly inspired by Increpare's bfxr, which was built on top of my as3sfxr, which was ported from Tomas Pettersson's sfxr. Phew!
ChipTone was built using Haxe and the OpenFL project.

I use this all the time to make sounds for my game! :) Thanks for making such a useful tool. Hope to see some more cool updates in the future!
So wonderful!

Same here but on windows 11
I hope you consider making a linux downloadable version too!

shame its abondoned
was really excited for the sequencer
(edit: added r to sequence)
It may appear that way, but I wouldn't call it abandoned quite yet. Sometimes people can take a few years to update something in an application. Give or take five to six years especially if they're the only developer of the tool. Considering the last update was from 2022, might be a while. Things that might seem like simple updates might actually be harder to work on than what one may think.
Uhh.. I opened it, but nothing appeard. Is this malware??
No, this is not malware according to all scans I've made using my software before and after unzipping files that detects these things. I saw your question right before I was going to download it for the first time which I was thinking about trying it and decided I'd test it out for you. And can you tell me what you mean by nothing appeared when you opened it? Did you unzip the file first before trying to open it? Are you using windows? It opened up quite fine and appears to be working just fine.
Very cool, for someone reason the application doesnt open at all for me. But whatever!
Ah, have you redownloaded and reattempted to run the application? That is very odd that it is not working on your end and it shouldn't be a problem at all. Are you sure all the necessary files and folders are there when you try to use it? And did you modify the folder in any way if at all? Sometimes these things can be very finicky with the slightest modification such as simply changing the name of the folder. Yes, it's weird that they can decide to stop functioning properly over folder name changes or just simply reordering files which can also disrupt it. Sometimes files are simply missing in the first attempt of download which can also break applications so sometimes redownloading it(Sometimes you have to do it three times in a row) is the best option. This is at least with my personal experience with how these things may go.
Whatever, i don't really need this anymore.
I don't think this has been updated in a long time.. feels abandoned.
bro please make a linux version
Works fine on linux for me.
for me doesnt run

Love this tool! Use it all the time for my pixel art games.
bro i hit randomize and it sounded like the n word WTF!?!
it might be a cool sfx for easter eggs or smth XD
You have a 5/5 rating from me for this cool tool :D
why are there still no sampler and sequencer?
The project was last updated in 2022. Sadly, it looks like they abandoned it.
oh man that's been a long time
this is very good
Exactly what i was looking for! thank you so much!
When you click Randomize sometimes it creates absolute Horror. Love it
yeah, really cool
I get "ChipTone is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash."
Mac mini M4, Sequoia 15.1.1
Maybe an issue with Apple Silicon?
This is amazing
Thank you so much
i use this tool a lot! it's a great way to visualize sound too, and the presets are really good!
This is banger, thanks !
please make the sequencer and sampler π’
Wait, it's in HTML5? Why isn't there a linux version then?
Does the windows version run through wine?
It runs through wine
Show post...
cry's because I just got here
AND SAMPLER AND SEQUENCER ARENT HERE(I'm supposed to be looking for a pngtuber app)
Looks great!
so cool!
"sampler and sequencer coming soon" - two years ago
i was in a different house when they first said that
Stage3D error: Context3D not available :(
Turn on WebGL in your browser settings
Gente como tu se merecen el cielo
Can you add history for this?
thats a better and modern SFXR!
webgl generates audio by few soundfonts, playback, but what is missing:
-playing in loop (checkbox), and optional playing ping-pong (checkbox)
-saving in other formats: mp3 at 48khz avg 128kb/s (using in our games)
This is amazing! Used this for my recent game https://af1fr.itch.io/glowgon.
This tool is soo amazing, i hope you add Ctrl + z and Ctrl + Shift + Z for undo/redo shortcut
Hey, I just downloaded and I'm very excited to get started, but I get a stage Context3D not available on windows 10 64. Anyone else run into that. Is there a minimum on the graphics card etc? Thanks in advance and I look forward to tearing into this cool apparatus :)
Is very nice! No like having to load up daw just to maek bleep bloops, yo. Is the bomb-diggy-bag-o-beez-kneez dawg mans!
That's an amazing tool. Thanks!
I've created my first game using it.

Thank you for this! We used this for a couple sound effects on our newest game Death Orchestra! Really amazing software!
big sfb fan, and this is a perfect tool, and I recommend using sfxr along with it. Only commenting since my game design class uses this as a resource.
