• Remuxer (command-line tool) - Converts tracker and sid files to midi/wav. Based on libRemuxer which is based on the third-party libraries libsidplayfp, libmikmod and libopenmpt. libRemuxer should ideally have been linked directly to Visual Music but was not, because of a conflict between the Monogame and libsidplayfp licenses.
• Midilib (C# library) - Midi parser
• MidMix (C++ library) - Audio mixdown for midi files, based on Fluidsynth
• Media (C++ library)
  • Video export, based on Ffmpeg
  • Audio playback, based on Media Foundation

• MonoGame (C# library) - Graphics (with a few forked changes necessary for Visual Music to function properly)
• CefSharp (C# library) - Web browser
• XNA for WinForms (C# code) - Integration of MonoGame with Winforms
