So I've finally gotten around to uploading AxeSynth, a music-synthesizer written in Axe. The key mappings are like a guitar's; MATH is E2, x-1 is F2, etc. The base-note is displayed above the key column on the screen. You have access to 8.125 octaves, from the note C0 through C8
(http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/0-axesynth.gif)
Features/Controls:
2nd: Activate Continuous note mode; hold down keys to play a note for as long as the key is held down
MODE: Fixed length mode
DEL: Major chord mode (root, major third, fifth, octave)
ALPHA: Power chord mode (root, fifth, octave)
XT0N: Minor chord mode (root, minor third, fifth, octave)
STAT: Custom chord mode; press ZOOM/F3 to set the chord structure
Up: shift all notes down 1 half step; equivalent of moving a capo down the fingerboard
Down: shift all notes up a half step; equivalent of moving a capo up the fingerboard
Left: set the five columns of keys to E/A/D/G/B (can be shifted up-down with Up/Down keys though)
Right: Set the five columns of keys to A/D/G/B/E
Y=: Decrease the note length. The different note lengths available are 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 21576, 32768, 49152, and 65535
WINDOW: Increase the note length. Note that you can change the note length in continuous mode to achieve varying levels of sound quality.
On+CLEAR: quit
Since this is a sound program, I've also put together a little video to show the full effect:

Cooool! FInally a sound synthesizer!
-
Squigetx, phenomenal! I think the video needs some more dancing :P (j/k)
Very good job!
-
Heh, I had not seen the vid. It is indeed phenomenal.
-
Awesome music video. ^^
-
That looks wonderful! I was thinking of making something like this, but yours is better than what I would've came up with. Nice job! ;D
-
Calculator music awesome >>>>
Awesome music video. ^^
^
-
Awesome. :D
-
nice! any chance of a tetris demo? that would be really cool :D (or perhaps castlevania? >:D)
-
Or this (http://goo.gl/QMET). I think it would sound awesome on-calc ;D

^^ This.

Completely amazing! I have many passions, two of which are calculators and music. I can't wait to see my friends facepalm when they see this. xD
Is there any way to get rid of the discord when you press keys? The sound is perfectly good once you let go of the key, but it sounds a little off while you press the key. Is it a limitation of the language?
-
Hahaha, thanks everyone :)

I'm assuming you're talking about continuous mode here. I've tried a lot of different things but I can't seem to fix this issue unfortunately...

Aww... Oh well, it's still awesome. xD
Could you possibly get rid of it in fixed mode? And maybe have an option to map the top keys to note length? That way you could use a combination of the F keys and the note buttons to play something without the distortion, and only use continuous mode to test out stuff. As it is, it's pretty hard to use the Y= and Window keys to consistently get certain note lengths... Actually, if you fix these two issues, I could play some pretty awesome GB tunes and post them here! I've already got Goldenrod City and Ieven Polkka's notes down. xD
Of course, I don't know how Axe sound works, so this may just all be BS... D=
-
Well that's awesome :D I can finally play my calc as an instrument. Should try some sound FX with my guitar amplifier or Rackarrack.
-
The sound quality's actually really synth-like :o Again, nice job on this!
-
After having tried it (and having hold my calc like a guitar), I'm amazed at the sound quality and the nice features there is in AxeSynth. I might even use it to make some chiptunes :P
-
Lol nice squidgetx :D
-
This looks nice. I had a different Axe sound program on my calc a while ago, but the key mapping was pretty different from this one.
Also, I can't find the download link. D:
-
Sweet: Chords!
-
Happybojr had already made this by the way, a music maker in Axe, but it's still great :D
-
Looks nice! I also love the video. :)
-
Haha, this is pretty sweet! :D Nice video too! ^^
-
hmm do I forsee an 8-bit style of rickrolling? >:D
-
Also, I can't find the download link. D:
It's available in the Download section here (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=671), but I added a link to the first post as well.

ON an unrelated note I realized I think we got about 4-5 staff who are from China/Korea or had parents that were born there (and it would be 5-6 if jsj795 was still in the team). /me wonders if this means losing the game more and more in Chinese
