Title: AxeSynth 2.0
Post by: squidgetx on February 16, 2014, 11:53:14 pm

Hey everybody~ (It's been a while, hasn't it?)

Life has been really busy with university and things, however I think I've found a project that has sparked my interest and will keep me a bit more occupied/active in the next few weeks. I'm aiming to dramatically expand my Axe sound synthesizer, AxeSynth to a (sort of) full on Digital Audio Workstation for the 83+/84+ series.

Planned features:
-Drum hits (kick, snare, and hi hat, all with customizable parameters)
-Clip editing mode; allows for editing and saving of series' of notes, rests, or drum hits.
-Clip launching mode; playback/looping of recorded clips

Completed so far:
Diving back into the code, refamiliaraizing myself, and updating to Axe 1.2.1 standards (Yes, I know that 1.2.2 is out)
Bugfixes
Improving flow/modularity
Ok sounding kick
Decent sounding snare

Will it support midi sync?

Keoni; I'm not sure exactly what you mean by midi sync, care to explore that in more detail?

As in, will the files it creates be compatible with midi?

Midi sync is a property of midi communication between devices. The midi clock is essential for making devices run at the same speed. An example is a drum machine hooked up to a midi controller which allows you to set the beats per minute.

Welcome back squidgetx! And hurray for a project that somehow manages to combine calculator programming and music production (the two parts of Omnimaga I'd say). I'd love to try it out when you have a demo :D
