work updates: end of starchild

i've been working mostly every day on "end of starchild" (previously known as time tripper circuit02) since the release of the k2 record. next week i'm expanding testing to a few more individuals, but most of the maps are in their final state. much of the actual zscript/ACS/decorate/etc has been refactored and i've engaged in heavy work in optimizing the project. currently i am working to remove most of the dynamic lighting and replace it with manually-created sector light gr...

some new plugins: chorus, delay, hihat

CT-PC and CT-PD:chorus and delay pedals. the chorus is an extension of my previous "horus" plugin, a little more finely tuned. the delay is a generalized bucket brigade-ish delay that tends to clip pretty easily even at moderate levels, so the feedback can get very rowdy and washy, especially with modulation turned up. it also has a glitchy octave mode. both pedals' width controls go from mono, to stereo (50%) to phase inverted (100%). demo:https://msx.horse/patreon/20240605_130023.m...

4 new plugins available

all of them are available @ https://msx.horse/ct.phpfor synths, it's just one, but it has been a labor of extensive love and research over the past few months:- CT-FC01 pseudopolygon: reverse engineering of the Ricoh 2A03/2A07 triangle wave generator and its associated amplification and mixing circuitry. it has the ability to output the raw triangle wave (as you would hear when the chip is directly tapped), but more importantly, seeks to approximate the amp and mixing circuitry. this has ...

mentorship tier starting in may

hey folks, hope you're keeping well.i am excited to announce that starting in may, i will be adding a mentoring tier to the patreon. i've been working over the past couple months to figure out how to best approach this and to try things out (as well as trialing it with some friends), and i think it's just about go time.the tier will include two monthly one-on-one sessions over Discord: a two(ish) hour session on where we poke and prod at you and your work, and a shorter (half-hour-is...

"i cannot write music."

two weeks ago, a strange thing began to happen. nearly every time i sat down to work, i felt repulsed by it. the sensation is hard to describe. constricting, claustrophobic, tense. i worked through it, churning out file after file of things i simply wasn't content with. with each new file, the sense of tightness grew, until i could feel it up the back of my spine. my creative thinking and problem solving skills became clouded by nothing. big, empty clouds, obscuring the thought process. even...

some new tools: dvn8 & soup

available at https://msx.horse/tools.phpdvn8, a single-cycle waveform generator with some fun functions, and soup, a supersaw/square/sine sample generator. the former is great for funky chiptune-ish wave generation (and more) and the latter is just a bunch of fun in general, especially for machines that can't do realtime synthesis due to lack of processing power.windows only, should run on most versions of windows.

back catalog updates & fixes

a couple backcat fixes and changes: fixed the era selector options, they no longer clear when using the page navigationadded lots of cassette and vinyl releases. for cassettes, only MP3 is offered (there is nothing to gain from FLAC here lol), and for vinyl, i've only put up select records, and rather than recordings of them i'm offering the original digital masters. missing ones are either very close to their digital counterparts, or the digital counterparts are still for sale at my ban...

ecoWare+ [sndwrk β]

"ecoWare+" is an early version of "_SNDWORK/gh" and serves as an interesting snapshot of the record in a state i felt was "mostly done" early on. many revisions happened after this, most obvious of which is the tracklist. some versions of tracks here vary significantly from the final versions, while others are more or less the same minus the final mastering pass.download is attached to the post.

current project update

hey all, hope you're keeping well.my current project is moving along slowly but surely, i'm 13-ish tracks in, but that only accounts for just over 20 minutes of audio, since it's pretty dense in terms of sequencing, composition, all that stuff.i have an additional few tracks started that i'm still very back and forth on, and i'm not sure exactly what the end point of this one will be. given that, i figured it was time for another update letting you know that A Thing Is Happen...

blog post: lots and lots of waves

https://msx.horse/blog.php?b=blog%2F2024_03_01.nfoweird tech is excellentcurrently about 10 tracks into the next project. i'll keep you updated and all that... plenty more to do.

a couple small applications

hey all, been working on my current project and wound up cooking up a couple small command line applications in the process. they're both 32bit windows command line applications. 81mod is generally harmless but you can very quickly generate thousands - or millions - of garbage files with splunger, so please take care with it.81mod: a modification of Damian Yerrick's DPCM tools. converts a WAV file into 1bit DPCM and decodes it at 2-8bits to a new WAV file. the amplitude and sampling rate...

health update, getting back to work, etc

hey all, hope you're well. thanks for your patience the last few weeks.my wrist is more or less better and i'll be getting back to work this week. another health issue has cropped up that may or may not become more urgent in the near future (a hernia) but i am keeping tabs on things and will be sure to let you all know if i'm stuck unable to work again.i'm quite a ways into my current project, but won't be sharing any details until it's ready, hopefully for understandable...

hand nerve stuff

i seem to have done something to the nerves in my right hand - it feels like the beginning of a bad carpal tunnel flare-up, but i'm not 100% certain. i will continue working on my current project while i can (thankfully i can largely work via keyboard and can just left-hand a lot of things), but i absolutely have to take it easy for the next couple weeks.thanks for the support and patience, really looking forward to getting back to 100%, i'm really having a lot of fun working lately.

update/non-update

not much to say - been working on a new musical project for most of the month. not sure what the ETA is, but i hope you will look forwards to it. i am having a lot of fun with it and i think you might also maybe find it fun.been working on some fun plugins as well, which should hopefully be available soonish... stay tuned.

warning: contains centipede photos/videos

openMPT ITI collection update

here's version 20240109 - 1067 instruments, 839 of which are unique, the rest are all stereo versions for openmpt/libopenmpt only (or anything supporting modplug's stereo sample hack). updates include lots of FM sounds, multisampled bontempi keyboards, a bunch of various other synths, choir sounds, etc.

website complete

please have fun exploring... it has been a ton of work, but i think it paid off.of particular note to everybody here will be the halley labs section, which includes a searchable back catalog, bios, and more fun stuff,thanks so much for waiting.happy new year <3

internet

hey all, just a super quick update; been spending the past week or so working on redoing my website from the ground up so i can update it and share stuff more easily. will probably need a few more days, as it's taking mostly all of my brain power to get stuff organized, write all the php, rewrite info pages, migrate servers, and so on and so forth.as always, i'll keep y'all in the loop.

blog post: much has transpired

i have a blog on my server that i update extremely irregularly, but i figure i should share it here so you're all kept in the loop.lots of love, more stuff coming soon, as usual

plugin dump

beep beep boop boopi have some plugins for youthese come without documentation, support, and so on for the time being, and are windows only. as always if you cannot get them working in your vst3 64bit daw try renaming the .vst3 file to .dll.basicBits is a binary wavetable synth. you can turn the bits on or off, or change how many of the bits you wish to use in the waveform. you can slew the waveform for sounds with more detail, and then introduce texture by slewing at a lower bit depth. it has a...
