S-Pently (teaser)

Post by tepples »

Thanks to blargg's macro pack, I managed to bring up about 20% of my Pently music engine on the SPC700. It's still missing host communication and several effect commands, but the basic structure of a timer feeding a tempo divider feeding conductor track and pattern interpreters feeding a note-on engine is there. So are synthesizers for crude hat and guitar samples, as well as the kick and snare samples I made a decade and a half ago when I was using ModPlug.

I'll define some milestones.

Before I make another release:
  • Come up with a host comms protocol so that Podge can scoot to the stereo and press track change buttons in the SFC sample
Before game usability:
  • Add effects TRANSPOSE, GRACE, LEGATO_OFF/_ON
  • Adapt Pently's music compiler
  • Design some representation for sound effects
  • Link in the docs to whatever sample resources other users provide
Before NES parity:
  • Send additional songs to ARAM at runtime
  • Add effects ARPEGGIO, BEND, CHVOLUME, FASTARP, SLOWARP, VIBRATO
