    Great work! Maybe you can add an option to use the 'heightmap' method described by Justin in his blog post. And maybe let users add their own palettes? :)

    Figuring out how to add game boxart and screenshots to my recently-relaunched MIDI and chiptune player: https://pixeltune.org/ It's a fun challenge, because I need to figure out ho…

    Ok I found it! For some reason those files have an invalid header. I added a workaround so they should play fine now.

    Thanks for the feedback. I _did_ fix a bug last night so it might be working already. The "Invalid DataView length" error seems like a parsing error... maybe try using a different …

    Ok, WebMIDI support is live. Try it out and let me know if it works. :)

    Oh wow, I just checked the prices on the MT-32 and IT IS N-U-T-S! Hope you can find a good one without breaking the bank. :)

    Yes, as I mentioned in other comment, Pixeltune applies a reverb effect on some of the cores. There's currently no way to turn it off but there will in the near future. :) Kudos fo…

    Yes, track duration is on the TODO list. I will also add an "export data" option for you, so you can rest safe that you won't lose your beautifully curated playlists. :)

    Oh, yes. That's because the Famitracker port I'm using[0] is a bit old and doesn't support the newer .ftm versions. So in case the player doesn't support a given song, there's a fa…

    Good question. I was thinking of eventually putting the whole archive in a decentralized system like IPFS, but I guess archive.org is also fine. However I want to wait a bit before…

    Will check. Thanks for the heads up.

    I still haven't tested the player on mobiles thoroughly. Do you at least see the oscilloscope running?

    Thank you. I have a few minimal/ambient playlists that are great for concentration. I'll include one or two in the featured section!

    Chip Player is awesome. I love the retro-looking UI.

    Comment #41223549

    Yes, as I mentioned in another comment, the player has a time limit on songs to prevent them from looping forever. I'll include an option to let you modify this, so you can listen …

    This is actually possible already, but I couldn't finish the UI part on time. Give me a few days and I'll add the option. PS. I also have a SC-55, nothing beats the original!

    Around 25 GB in total. Originally managed using a Git repository until it became unmanageable... I just checked the song count, by the way, and it's actually 503305, contained in 4…

    Ok case closed. The maximum option will be 30 minutes then!

    Yes indeed. Pixeltune adds a reverb effect on top of the output of some cores. I'll include an option to turn it off. Good one!

    Time, of course. ;) Already at the top of the TODO list, though.
