Are there any free safe online synthesizers? I want to use them for making video games. Please help.

Yes.

TAL and u-he make my favorite ones.

Full Bucket has a nice offering of synths that would cover a range of video game sounds.

There are many others. Even Youtube videos going over the best free ones.

Vital must be mentioned as well. Would be perfect for that sort of thing.

I'm not sure that's what he's after. I think he's after cloud-based synths that can generate music while connected to the 'net, to keep the size of his game small.

Not sure what you're asking, but if it's a synth running inside a browser: https://www.reasonstudios.com/europa-player

Or source code for a synth to run inside a browser: https://www.bitsnbites.eu/hello-world/

You'll have to explain this a bit more. You want a software synthesiser that runs on a 16-bit console? If so, which console?
And is 'safe' because it... what? Doesnt crash the console?

I think the question is: are any of the free YM2612 or S-SMP emulator VSTs safe and stable? YM2612 is Genesis, S-SMP is Super NES. TurboGrafx had great music, but I don't think anyone's made an emulation of its sound hardware.

I recommend OP look at the chip music subreddits. There aren't a lot of chip composers here.
