Interesting. Some notes seems to be hard to distinguish, though, because they seem to play two at once or something, but I guess that's the Axe sounds limitations.

DJ: yeah, I used audacity this time to make certain parts be louder than the others, etc, so there's some blending in some of the parts =/

You should try making it piano style to make it easy to use

Nice :D (Although it sounds like earrape, but whatever.)

I will try to make a midi adapter for the I/O so that you can time your notes liek a boss.

lol, well yeah. Can't do much about the sound quality without ASM

You can! Use a frequency table :)

That takes up a lot of space. But indeed, that works flawless.

Im going to make one of those! But I'll have to memorize where the correct notes are... Or tape the letter names to my buttons!

Nope just 24 bytes for the lut including the lowest octave (16-bits) and a small piece of code to shift octaves:
Code: [Select]
the wavelenght is {GDB1LUT+NOTE}r/e^(OCTAVE)

I did lol. that's what AxeSynth does. You try it, there's no escaping the slight buzz on Continuous Mode.

What are you trying to tell me? I already use an LUT for the frequency table. However, in order to have the calc play sound for as long as you have a key down, you need to run a loop with a Freq() inside it. Which means that for a split second, there is a break in the tone of the note. Which means that it's no longer a pure wave and thus sounds a little icky...

You mean the 'click' when a note starts and stops playing?
Title: Re: AxeSynth-MJ's Thriller
Post by: Keoni29 on November 12, 2011, 12:47:16 pm
Use this:
While Getkey(xx)
Freq
End

Almost since there is a tiny delay. You won't notice it :)

There is a noticeable delay. If the length of the note is too long, it becomes way too noticeable. If the length is too short, the note loses its value. In the video I used 8192, which is a good balance but it's still not a pure sound wave. You don't really hear the delay, but the sound texture is different.

I made my own using madpad
I used a 1 octave pitch shift cuz I was too lazy to record the bass :P. Also madpad only uses 12 sounds.

Link to video! (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45821500/Calc%20stuff.mov)

Clicking the link takes forever.... Just right click and 'save target as' I guess.

Nice!
What video/audio editors do you use?
Title: Re: AxeSynth-MJ's Thriller
Post by: epic7 on November 12, 2011, 09:23:02 pm
I used madpad. Its an Ipod app. It was real hard to record the audio when all I had was earbuds to play the sound:P
Title: Re: AxeSynth-MJ's Thriller
Post by: squidgetx on November 12, 2011, 09:25:26 pm
Ah, sorry, I thought that madpad was the name of the song or something lol.

I need a better way to record these, I've been recording in Audacity and getting the video separately, which isn't too bad. Just that I need a better video editor or better PIP plugins for Windows Movie maker (lol)

I had to put the ear buds onto the mic which doing so covers the back camera. I then had to record with the front camera which was difficult since I couldn't see what I was doing on the screen :P
