    Spek is just a Spectogram Viewer, while Reaper is a DAW software, the only similar thing they share is that both work with audio.

    FamiStudio is very simple music editor for the Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom. It is designed to be easier to use than FamiTracker, but its feature set is also much more limited. It is targeted at both chiptune artists and NES homebrewers.
