I wanted to participate but I just noticed the date ^-^' nevermind

Of course! You explained it perfectly.

Using FLstudio's MidiOut plugin, I output a bass, lead, BD and snare to PCSPE at their respective midi channel.

I ended up ditching the Bass track, however, I found it's much easier to write the bass in the same track as the lead (so I can use bass inside the arpeggio)

The BD and snare drum are as short as possible, to give some room to the melodic parts

Super interesting! Also good thinking, both of you.
I think utz might be onto something, we might be able to use the physical properties of the piezo to generate tones faster.
No idea how we would program them however, plus I'm crap at that.

Re-wrote the Space Quest 3 intro using PCSPE and Shiru's convolution matrix. Tx Shiru <3

And by the way, I'm here if either of you ever need 1-bit pixels

I'm going for more recent ones. Monophonic, to cut down cost, but maybe some cheap voice samples, and with enough space for programming at least one tune.

And two LCDs, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F988Y0d4wrY

Thanks for all your help!

I will absolutely do that <3 Thank you so much Shiru. Even if it isn't true emulation, I want to be true to the spirit of the thing

You rock so much, thank you Shiru!

I'm using PCSPE and FLstudio's arpegiator, because ChipArp messes with the pitch bend too much hmm

Because of the arpegiator though, I can't be sure this would be playable by a piezo, although it sounds close enough. Maybe I should learn to use your 1-tracker

Played through your impulse responses (amazing work again).

Here's the first few measures of the Space Quest 3 intro. Do you think it sounds ok?

oh damn. Apologies to Chris Cowley then. I've never looked at the about screen, it's super charming too! And I sure will post here when it's done

Tx so so much again.
My "language" is construct 2, I'm one of them artsy types who can't code properly

Well shiru's beepola is my favorite tracker anyway so huby it is!
.

Edit: and i would definitely hire you if someday someone wants to make a real lcd handheld outta my game. (a dual screen pinball rpg)

Utz I actively produce 1bit art.  Hit me up any time

utz you're the best, thank you so much for the info!
I'm not good enough to program my own engine, either the SM-510 or even the Squeeker. I'd like something that works out of the box, I can (barely) handle text-mode trackers. I don't even need 2 voices (although it would be great). Anything I can work with?


(irrelevant, but the arduboy piezo can be made to do PWM

thanks again

space quest 4 (the whole series really) had very advanced pc speaker music if I recall correctly

Hi all.

I'm making an (emulated) LCD handheld game, like game and watch.
The graphics/coding part is taken care of, but I was wondering, is it possible to coax anything better than beeps from the Sharp SM-510 MCU melody module?

Even pc-beeper arpeggios, something. Is Monotone my best bet if I want to be somewhat authentic?

tx

edit: example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cc2rMAigBA this sounds so promising. we could make some cool 1-bit music for those things. I'm not sure what hardware this runs on though. Those beeps are very sweet
