Lovely Composer

This is a playful music creation tool that inherits the spirit of a game console music editor! 

You can enjoy and easily create chiptune music and sound effects like retro games on a cute screen. Let's play and share your original songs what you made. 

The created song can be quickly output to files such as Wave or a MIDI file, and is suitable for game production and as a sketch before full-scale composition on other DAW. 

The operation is simple, and there are a chord input function, a function to select the rhythm from the pattern, and a composition support function such as checking the tone with a MIDI keyboard.

In addition, there are more than 20 sample songs, so it is recommended for beginners who have no experience in composition.

😊 Users Voice

"Lovely Composer is great software It has excellent operability that allows you to quickly output the phrase or chord progression you have come up with. Sketch before working in a DAW in earnest I think it can also be used for learning music theory for children."

"So good. I am so happy. As someone who gets bogged down by the amount of choices in a regular DAW, this is so freeing and fun, Good job, guys."

"I really like the ui and I think it is very easy to use by any other audio making software. Did I mension is free? For how early this prototype is. Keep Up the development!"
