wow that would be cool.

And yeah I noticed the music data is quite small considering there are many notes.

Quigibo, do you think it will be possible in future versions to play two different notes at once like this? http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/144/14445.html

Also on a off-topic note, Nemo seemed a bit scared about your Axe Parser 0.3.3 forum signature D:

Nice, it sounds better than WabbitEmu. In wabbitemu the pitch is off and and you hear big clicks between notes, causing fast chords to sound crappy. Thanks for posting a mp3 of how it sounds like ^^

I should've know that that'd be a rickroll :P
Well, you can't make someone lose The Game by playing music, so why didn't that occur to me...
The sound quality in that mp3 is surprisingly good, it being a calculator. :) Somebody convert another song! :P

I don't know. I think you need to download reg ones and then convert them using the software Quigibo linked to

oops, I just noticed quigibo posted a link to where he gets his. >.<

Does anyone know of a software to merge the tracks of a midi together?

In NWC, you can right click on each track, go to properties, and then in the "MIDI" menu change all the channels to channel 1.  Then save the midi as a type 0 and reopen it.  When reopening, make sure you have "Max single track chord size" set to its maximum 127.  It should all be on a single track now.

Ok, confirmed that sound does not work on my TI 83+ BE, but works fine on my TI 83+ SE. Any idea why? are you using any ASM commands that are not supported on the normal 83+?
*Edit* perhaps it isn't reading the keypresses?... I don't know

Oh I think I know what it is now, I was using a shortcut in the code to save space which would only affect the 83+BE but I didn't think it would cause any problems with the actual sound.  Oh well, its only an extra byte for the entire program to fix it I guess.

EDIT: I fixed it but also decided to make the routine take 2 byte frequency data so its 4-5 bytes larger than before.  Some songs won't be compatible using this player because now note "0" (middle C) is actually 65536 instead of "255".  But I am going to modify the midi converter to use this new range extender to cover the whole keyboard.  This data will be 3 bytes per note instead of 2 so music will be a little larger, but now the songs should convert better.

I'll try it again when you have time to post an update. I'm glad this was an easy fix (hopefully). :D Also, I don't know if I mentioned this before, but this does sound really awesome on calc. ;) I keep playing with it!

EPIC ALERT!  8)  I converted the entire opening of my favorite RPG using the new format.

This is the executable only since the feature is not out yet.  Only 1 track just press 1.  15MHz only.
EDIT: It sounds way better on calc by the way becasue for some reason the tempo fluctuations are really exaggerated in wabbitemu.

Understood! I absolutely love Chrono Trigger! , checking it out now.8)
*Edit* Very cool!  ;D Question: Would 2 channel audio would be much larger than 1? IE: still mono sound, but left and right channels?
