Imagine being able to real-time record playing a chord, twisting a knob on your MIDI keyboard that directly affects the amount of Noise on the SNES track!! Quantization!! Now that stuff is really beyond the small goals I have to accomplish first, but that's the dream!!Ĭutting edge - if you're reading this, you're lucky enough to discover this software in "early baby fetus" stage. You can Interface with a MIDI Keyboard ^_^ Only an audiophile or producer would notice, but this is music production software after all!!! I use STD now just to listen to Snes SPC music : ) If you are curious, there is detailed post, sans communication with Blargg which took place over email - at NesDev It sounds better than any other SPC player!! Why's that? Because I personally worked with Blargg, the creator of the Audio emulator that is in many Super Nintendo emulators, to create a smooth DSP feature, removing all crackles that are present in SNES music!! This is an optional feature and can be disabled to sound exactly like the Super Nintendo!! But, it enhances the listening experience of SPC, especially with headphones.
I haven't yet produced any public release yet hehe, but the source code is on GitHub! It's open source!! It's really cool, as you can do a lot of neat things with it, like view and edit all memory, including DSP registers, in real time - mute/solo any voice - change tempo - rip samples or instruments - see a memory snapshot developed in real-time - and actually play with the instruments and change their ADSR properties real-time.
The STD is actually the first piece I have tackled, and is nearing completion.
SNES Tracker Debugger : for transcribing SPC, reverse engineering, debugging, and ripping. SNES Tracker is a 2-part piece of software: This software is being developed on Mac OSX, but is written with cross platform development libraries so that it can eventually be ported across Windows, OS X, Linux. I'm the sole developer and ambition behind SNES Tracker. Sadly, I'm not making any money ATM, but my heart is set on completing this project. I live with a non-technical family and they couldn't care less what I'm working on. I don't really care if anybody reads this.
