Topic: EBT - ESPboy tracker
A new project of mine. A LSDJ-inspired tracker for a portable DIY device called ESPboy. The device is based on a cheap IoT microcontroller ESP8266, which is quite powerful (up to 160 MIPS), yet limited in the resources compared to many other similar devices. It uses a 128x128 color TFT screen, so the interface s even more crammed than the LSDJ's.
The software sound engine is vaguely connected to our 1-bit stuff: it is based on the wtbeep engine. It takes the best of it, and improves the sound quality using the device's power. It features four channels with a clean sound. It also features an actual volume and stereo left/center/right controls, so it is not really 1-bit anymore, but there are 4 volume levels only, and no volume envelopes, so it still sounds similar to the 1-bit stuff.
The tracker engine features single-channel patterns of variable lengths (you can mix up different lengths in an order position), and MOD-like effects with up to two effects per note.
The package includes the ESPboy binary, a Windows SDL build (should be easily portable to Linux and such, but not ready-to-use yet), the source code of course, and a detailed PDF instructions. Released under WTFPL.
No demo songs yet.
Also, there is github, but it will be lagging behind I bit, I think.
