"Turn any beat into a retro video game soundtrack in seconds.

Remember the music from the old game consoles? The hero theme you hummed for days, the coin sound and the boss battle music? Tropica Nova puts that whole sound in your DAW. Load a preset, press a key, and your track sounds like a game cartridge from the golden age of gaming.

It's built from the four voices of a classic 8-bit console: two pulse waves, a triangle and a noise channel. Then it adds the tools today's producers want, so your chip sounds are ready for a real mix.

Play a Whole Chord With One Finger

The old game composers faked chords by flipping through notes super fast. Tropica Nova does that for you. Pick a chord type, hold one key, and you get that shimmering chiptune chord right away. You don't need any music theory.

128 Presets, Ready to Drop In

You don't have to build anything from scratch. Pick a sound and start making music. There are 8 categories with 16 presets each:

Two Sounds in One: Clean or Authentic

Clean: bright, tight chip sounds with no harsh digital fuzz. They sit right in a modern mix.
Authentic: raw and gritty, just like the real console hardware. It has stepped volume, a "staircase" triangle bass and the console's own filters.
Flip one switch to go from polished to pure cartridge.

A Synth You Can Watch

Tropica Nova lives on an animated pixel-art island that reacts to every note you play:

The glowing aurora in the sky is a live picture of your sound wave
Palm trees sway harder as your sound gets louder
The sea sparkles and the stars twinkle with the music
Every note you play sends a shooting star across the sky, with a different color for each note
It makes music-making fun again.

Easy for Beginners, Deep for Pros

Hover help: rest your mouse on any knob and a pop-up tells you what it does, so you never have to guess

Sweep: make lasers, zaps, kicks and pitch slides
Vibrato with delay: the classic trick that makes game leads sing
Lo-Fi crusher: add crunchy, broken-cartridge grit
