JAZZ MIDI Sequencer
A downloadable tool for Windows
First of all, I didn't make JAZZ. It was made 1994-2000 by Andreas Voss and Per Sigmond. However, the license file points out that "License is granted to copy and distribute JAZZ in its unmodified form for any purpose.", and when the creators' homepage went down permanently in 2006, I've taken it upon myself to keep this little nifty MIDI editor alive because it's very simple to use - I still use it to this date. I've disabled payments and donations for this page, because I don't want to distribute JAZZ for personal gain - I want to distribute it because I love this piece of software.
While you can only output MIDI files with JAZZ, it's a nice compliment to rendering/soundfonting software that uses MIDI as raw material like SynthFont, LMMS and GxSCC, and it's also a nice compliment to OpenMPT's capabilities to turn tracked formats (XM, IT, MOD and S3M) to MIDIs and back, letting you transform your chiptunes into orchestrated arrangements with ease or just giving you a more visual way to edit them.
