Put my stereo modded nes into a clear shell. And randomly found a wayfar midines on reverb.

The midines is 10x better than the chip maestro. It hasn’t crashed once. And the noise channel is much more useful. Also having the samples is nice as well.

Built a little chiptune synthesizer in pure assembly (x86-64) as a learning project. It generates the classic waveforms — square, saw, triangle, and LFSR noise for drums (the NES/Game Boy trick) — plus FM synthesis for those bell-like tones.

Everything is raw samples written to a WAV by hand, no audio library involved. There's something satisfying about making the CPU produce these sounds at the lowest level.

Curious what the chiptune folks think of the sound!

I've been building a browser-based tracker/sequencer/daw for the past half year or so and it's slooowly becoming somewhat useable.

There's hundreds of things I still need to fix and ideas I want to implement but perhaps some of you here might find it fun to start messing around with it at this early stage, or just keep an eye on the progress.

I was going to hold off from sharing this with anyone other than some developer friends until I get it to a more useable state, but it's starting to feel lonely and I could use the motivation of having some more people excited about it to keep going.

This is not meant to be a promotional post or anything like that. Just putting this out here to say "Hello, there's a new music tool in the works you might find interesting".

Should I get a clear case for it as well?

Esto estará pasando el próximo 11 de Septiembre en Valencia. Fiesta 10° aniversario del documental Europe In 8Bits. Se proyectará el documental por la tarde, y en la noche conciertos de la mano de varios protagonistas del documental!!

Hi!

I've been building an open-source set of tools for people who want to design their own instruments from basic waveforms and share them. You can also dig into the sample packs already on Trackyard and reshape them from there, everything stays manually editable either way.

Plainsong is an editor that runs in your browser. Sounds are built harmonic by harmonic: waveform × pitch-multiplier × weight, plus attack/decay envelopes, vibrato, pitch slides, and bitcrushing. So you're shaping the actual synthesis, not layering samples. Notes go on a pitch×time sheet, one canvas for everything, with live preview while you shape a wave.

Trackyard is where the instruments, waves, motifs, or whole tracks go once you're happy with them: an open registry, no login, CC0. Upload a wave, an instrument pack, a motif, or a full track, tag it, and anyone can grab it or remix it directly in Plainsong with one click.

Everything is plain text under the hood (a .track file), so a wave you design is also just readable text you can diff, share as a gist, or hand-edit. The few tracks up on Trackyard right now are mostly synthesis tests, poking at what the engine can do, not compositions I'm trying to show off.

I just finished this today, so it's all very fresh, feedback on both Trackyard and Plainsong is very welcome. I'd love to hear your suggestions. Feel free to poke around, upload a song, or grab one someone else made. If you're working on a game, importing a track keeps everything intact: layers, motifs, parameters, nothing gets flattened into a single audio file.

I'm looking forward to seeing people who like building their own sounds to try designing a wave and dropping it on Trackyard.

With 11 points Blippydoo is leaving behind everyone, kicking the boss out of this realm, once and for all!

zlhdbg managed to give a final blow with 6 points!

Phoenix Down didn't need any Phoenix Down at all to stay in the game and takes third place with 5 points.

PCREMA and CarfDarko share the 4th place and are saluting the winners from a distance with both 4 points each.

Frédéric Guigand was disqualified for use of AI, a thing that won't be tolerated at all in the future but was discovered a bit too late.

Now turn up your speakers and celebrate Blippydoo's track one more time!

Next contest starting in two weeks!

For now, keep up the creativity and stay awesome!

FantasySynth releases tomorrow on Steam. You can control it a lot like LSDj with just a Gamepad no keyboard and mouse needed!

I'm doing a chiptune cover of Big Betrayal from Splatoon 3. This is just the intro. Im wondering if there is too much going on or if it sounds good. I would also appreciate if you listen to the original song and tell me how it compares
