bebop - music generator
A downloadable tool
Bebop is a music generator that creates unique loop tracks for your videogame projects
Generates .wavs, midi files and Pico-8 loops!
Want to give that extra polish to your games but don’t know how to create music of your own? Use it on game jams and indie games for quick but catchy soundtracks.
Just select one of the styles (action, party, or chill) and press generate. The minimal bebop band will gladly compose and play the song.
You can generate all the songs you like, and, when you find one you would like to put in your project, you can export the song in any of three formats:
- A wav sound file that can be used in most game engines or as a video soundtrack.
- A midi file that can be further edited in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
- A Pico-8 function that will write the song in your cartridge.
All songs are loopable!
(I also like to just generate chill songs and listen to them when working, or as background soundtrack for videos ;) )
Note: This is not an AI tool, it generates the music from carefully curated human-made parameters.
Check out the devlog posts for examples and tutorials on how export and use files.
This is an example jukebox of bebop songs imported into Pico-8
You can export finished songs directly from bebop, but if you want more control over the instruments, you can also export a midi file and edit it in your prefered DAW software!

Hi! Any chance you release a Linux executable for this? It seems like a helpful program.
Hi! I'll try to compile a Linux version and I'll let you know!
Thank you!
Just uploaded a Linux version!
Sweet! :D thank you! I'll buy it later today.
Hi, what is the usage/ownership rights of generated music with Bebop? Could you post the license before purchase please? Thanks :)
Thank you for the suggestion! I just included a blog post with the license of the software and the music: https://itch.io/blog/654868/license
But, in summary, you can use the generated music any way you want, for non-commercial and commercial uses alike!
Fantastic, thanks! Purchasing now 😁
