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 …

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. :)

Comment #41224505
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…

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

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!

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!
