Bosca Ceoil
From Game Making Tools Wiki
Bosca Ceoil is made to be an easy to use tool for creating music. It is made by Terry Cavanagh, who, of it, said:
- I made this because I find other music programs really confusing and distracting. Too many panels, buttons and knobs! I wanted something really simple, something designed to work the way I tend to create stuff – a process that I suppose I could best describe as: make something super simple, and keep tweaking it until it starts to get good.
Songs are pieced together from small loops. You have a good selection of different instruments, including General MIDI, basic chiptune type waveforms, and a variety of synth leads, basses, etc. type stuff. You can apply one effect globally (reverb, delay, chorus, high-pass filter, etc.).
There are versions for Mac, PC, and Linux. They all require Adobe Air.
It is no longer being developed, but there's now an open-source, Air-free, version called Bosca Ceoil Blue.
