Bosca Ceoil is all about looping, and designed that way at its heart. Songs are built up from lots of tiny 16 note patterns – the intended workflow is that you loop over these single patterns until you have something you like, then you start making variations.

Easy, supports MIDI export and import (althrough the MIDI export works way better, even if sometimes the MIDI files don't read some notes), and even .XM export ! (it's a kind of module, y'know, the kind of music Amiga games used). Congrats for turning me into a composer, Bosca Ceoil !

What is Bosca Ceoil?

Bosca Ceoil is all about looping, and designed that way at its heart. Songs are built up from lots of tiny 16 note patterns – the intended workflow is that you loop over these single patterns until you have something you like, then you start making variations. If you approach it this way, you’ll find it’s pretty decent at doing that – but it’s not very good at other things, like say, long melody lines. It is what it is! I made it for myself, and the way I work, but hopefully some of you out there will find it useful too. It’s free, and open source under the FreeBSD licence. If anyone wants to port it/fork it, go for it!

Update: The GitHub repo is archived but links to a Godot-based remake, Bosca Ceoil: The Blue Album.
