Axe Clef
« on: June 22, 2010, 07:13:20 pm »
Hello,
I am currently working on a library for Axe that will allow you to use music alongside your games.  I call it Axe Clef, and it will come with a full fledged music editor to make it easier to make your music run inside your games.  It should allow you to continue to have a game while the music is running, and will only work at 15MHz.
Discuss.

Probably beeps.  I'm thinking about chords as well.  We'll see ;)
But they will be musical beeps.

Awesome!  This sounds really nice!  What notes will this have support for?  How many part chords?  4 part chords would be great. :D

This sounds really neat. ;D

Oh gosh, 4 part chords X_X
I'm going to play around with it to see what works best.

Yay! I hope this is out in time to implement into Nostalgia! (Maybe)
Or perhaps I've said too much...

Anyways, I hope this gets finished, and I'm sure it will.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Cool.
Does anyone else agree when I say that 4 notes played in the space of four microseconds over and over would sound like one chord?

Not to my knowledge, but you can always try it out and see.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.  Will this be done with Axe or straight Asm?  Will it use interrupts?

Edit:
Are you making this like a keyboard or like Finale/Sibelius for inputting notes into it? :)

After some study into the art of sound with Axe, I also have no idea how to implement this XD
I will not support multiple layers of sound (chords), but I can try to make one layer sound.

yeah I tried chords before and it sounds so crunchy :(

You can make chords in the style of Commodore 64, though, but they aren't really chords. I would go for 1 note at a time for now, I think
