What synthesizers do you guys use for your games? I don’t need anything complicated really, but I’d love to see the different software that you use, as well as if you think it’s any good.
Sfxr or Bfxr work well.
Famitracker all the way. It’s fairly simple, and it’s friggin’ awesome.
Hopefully Shannon Smith will see this and respond. He’s written some nice synths, and I think also came up with a really simple 2-op FM synth that fits in just a few K.
Oh, this link is interesting for Java Synths.

Might not get updated that often, but the copyright at least says 2011.
I’ve done a ton of standalone synths for music but not really much for games. With music synths it’s ok to use 90% of the CPU getting it to sound really good but this isn’t really an option with games. The closest would be the super cut-down one I did for Java4K here.
