I love picosynth! So addictive. DAW / plugin companies should get you to do retro interfaces for them.
Was wondering if you could provide some info on the cable logic. I've been looking for a way to do crisp, responsive pixel line rendering for ages. do you use bresenhan / FK for this or like a catenary algo? it's so crisp and satisfying. Any docs, resources or tutorials you could point me to would be hugely appreciated.
Glad you like it!
The program is made in pico 8 which is a pixel based software so crisp lines are automatic (there is no other way :) )
This looks awesome! Is there a limit to the amount of notes you can use in a loop and can you change octaves at all?
Thanks!
There is a limit per sequencer, but you can use switches to have multiple sequencers play one after another.
You can also use the tuner gear to change octave (or whatever interval your after)
would it be possible to add a midi input?
Not possible I’m afraid
really? i thought pico used lua, so couldn't you write lua bindings for portmidi or smthn
pico8 does use Lua, but it is a sandbox environment so basically no access to anything outside its own little world
ahhh, that kinda sucks
