Synth Music Test

[benny!]

Bugs Hmm ... damn it... I spent so many time playing amiga games.
But I don't have any clue 

[p01]

Wings of Death ?

[Rbz]

Ok, it was hard to recognize it or probably I've destroyed that great song 

That song came from Apydia game level 01, you can find some info about it here:

[benny!]

Yeah. How could I forgot that cool game ... yeah !

[Shockwave]

I feel kind of bad for not guessing correctly now Rbraz  Sorry I didn't recognise it mate.

Here's the first preview of my soft synthesizer:

http://www.rbraz.com/temp/4k_SoftSynth_Test.rar

Not yet optimized, but the player, with all features enabled, takes around 1040 bytes and that 30 seconds song occupies around 70 bytes.

Player features:
-4 different oscillators: Sine, Saw, Square and Noise
-Envelope (Attack/Decay)
-Special Drum mode
-Tremolo effect
-Vibrato effect
-Volume control
-Cutoff and resonance filters
-Delay effect

ToDo:
-Distortion effect

I'm still looking for a good, "tiny specialist", musician to try it and help me to make it better, in the mean time I will be trying to learn how to make music myself 

[benny!]

What can I say - I really like your synth. Did you write
it totally from scratch or does it base on any existing
code?

Awesome quality - looking forward to hear a tune which
uses a higher variations of effects!

[Stonemonkey]

Very cool.

Rbraz,

the sound is the best yet for sure. I really hope you find a musician soon as it will be interesting to here a cool lead track over the top of your drums. I think you have made a huge step here - I'm jealous :-)

[Rbz]

Thanks!

@benny!: It was coded from scratch, just directsound output code is the same used on gmdls version.
I have started coding it in November 2007 and it's not yet finished but all things that I have learned during the development of the old gmdls version helped me a lot.

Me too!

Wow ... then I might second master taj :

This has one of the nicest sounds of a small synth I have heard.

I know that a lot of musicians really hate writing synth songs though so here's wishing you all the luck in the world to find someone who can do it justice.

[benny!]

Yeah. C'mon musician ... even if the composing and
testing might be a pain in the a*** - but the result
can be really cool and guess it could be nice for a
scene musician to be part of a 4kb intro

@rbraz:
Are you planning to use your synth in a certain 4kb
intro - any plans so far ?

[benny!]

Btw. Does any musician around here uses
this : http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=48898 ?

[taj]

Benny that buzzic seems way too large for 4ks (nearly 2k for synth + tune)

[Clyde]

Awesome sounds Rbraz dude

[benny!]

Uhm ... didnt know it is that much. Thanks for the
info!

[Rbz]

Thanks Shock / Clyde

No plans so far, for sure that I will make something in the near future
Maybe I need to start coding an intro to motivate a musician to help me with music...

About buzzic, that guy did a great effort, but I guess he still have some bytes to cut out.

[Positron]

Great work Rbraz! Can't wait to see (hear) it in a 4k.

[Rbz]

Thx Positron, probably I will need to do it myself
