midi: "valley of the stars"

felt like writing a midi to get away from having to do a bunch of sound design. i might still tweak it a bit but feel free to use it in situations that may require a midi (doom maps etc).mp3 recorded from sound canvas sc-88 pro.

"more adventures" and other updates... again!

hey all - more adventures is just about ready! the master is done and the art and CD (and other merch) layouts are nearly complete. i can't *quite* share them yet because i'm waiting on info from the manufacturer to see if we can do a couple things i'm looking to do.so have this instead:ideally i'll be looking to launch this last week of july, if not first week of august. CD preorders will be open for a full week or until 500 orders - the kitcaliber CDs lasted just about the enti...

scribbles from today's stream

what it says on the tin. some famicom chipwank and some goldwave-only ambience

various "more adevntures" design stuff in progress

i usually share this stuff as it happens but for some reason kept this batch pretty under wraps... no idea why, tbh. but here it is.illustrations by ohmiyoni and pixel art on the discs by kureihii

winterfaun & the machine

because i feel bad about it taking so long to arrive (soon!!!!!!!) here's a track from More Adevntures that i haven't shared in full. naturally, if you want to avoid spoilers, avoid this.

the mucus flow [UV-Max]

a significantly dnb'd up version of yesterday's track

RHODE STRIXMAN - the mucus flow

an arrangement of the music from B.P.R.D.'s "The Mucus Flow", music originally also by B.P.R.D.

ktso scribble

quick improv using the current build of "ktso", still a work in progress... really happy with where it's going. no external effects.

"spacetime" plugin available for patrons

here's "spacetime", an approximate model of the shitty caline cp17 "time space" delay pedal i use all the time with more features and a pretty long delay. it has an internal soft clipper and filter so it will self-oscillate and drive like crazy but won't be particularly dangerouswarning that the AU version uses a different delay module with jankier delay smoothing. the module i designed this around does NOT have an AU version so i dropped the stock delay module in its pla...

"ktso" 20210703 wip

this was originally made to be used for all of 20 or so seconds on "MORE ADVENTURES" but it's evolved significantly since then and a number of features have been added. it's a bit hard to explain, but the tl;dr is it uses modal, fm, karplus-strong, and noise voices in unison and several of those voices can be "muted" and forced through one another as a big weird resonating chamber.here's a screenshot of the early version i made for myself:

first release of "SOTA" plugin now available

you can grab it at https://heckscaper.com/plugins/ - tl;dr this is a squelchy, quirky acid-adjacent synth inspired by the work of sota fujimori. have a blast.

"MORE ADVENTURES" previews

it's some preview clips if u wanna listen. if u dont thats fine to i dont blame u for not wantin it spoiled.

continued "MORE ADVENTURES" updates

Treesee (illust. by ohmiyoni)hey all, thought i'd drop another status update on the album. tracklist finalized. master is nearly complete. should need a few more days of work on and off to iron out anything that sticks out, but it's just about there. can't really do it all in one sitting as my ears have been pretty exhausted. need to remaster "Adventures With Tweesee" (+bonus stuff) for the CD release, as it will contain both albums across two discs. need to finish visual wor...

various unused track elements, now yours to use

a bunch of stuff from the last couple months - full download @ https://heckscaper.com/resources/odds_ends/June%20Tablescraps.zip - 19 mins or so of audio, FLAC format, 24bit, varies between 44.1-96khz.

breaks

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/py3x280slbbqm/Breaks shared this in the discord, but here it is for everybody - 2000ish quality break samples/loops/etc i've been stockpiling for the past 15+ years. any timing, looping, chopping is all up to you. use at your own peril, as breaks are usually sampled from other sources.anything in here from sample packs comes from long-discontinued packs/audio CDs that were discontinued because they contained hundreds upon hundreds of unlicensed samples. the 9...

Aurastys - QXXV

HAPPY 25TH, QUAKE!!! here's a tribute track, "QXXV"FLAC and OGG attached - you can use the OGG freely in the source port of your choosing for usermaps etc.

morning alarm 2016 06 18

i like to make my own morning alarms as i've found over the years that gradual introduction of harmonics and percussive features help me wake up - i like to wake slowly over the course of a couple minutes. here's the latest.

"MORE ADVENTURES" update

just a quick one before bed:wrapped work on most of the tracks today, 6 months after starting. cripes! finally!next step is linking them together, doing any final tweaks, mastering, and getting all the art/design finished up. currently sitting at around an hour in length and 7 main tracks (+ intro and whatever interludes if any).the idea to track ratio is extremely high - far higher than usual, i think. this time around, each track is most certainly an adventure.overall, it fits right in the str...

various samples

i sometimes dump small sets of samples wherever, so i figured i'd start putting them all in one placeif you ever need them and you don't have access to this post, there is a folder listing at https://heckscaper.com/resources/odds_ends/today i added "dist909_multisample" which is a set of what it sounds like. a 909 put through mixer trim/drive multisampled across 6 notes with 15 levels of drive per note and two overall sets (one raw, one further processed), totalling 180 samples.

"TIME TRIPPER circuit02: (end of) STARCHILD" development beginning

as MORE ADVENTURES nears completion (still a decent amount to do, including art/design/etc) it's time for some project overlap to keep things fresh.no ETA on this yet, naturally.alongside this, regular music, sample pack, and other resource creation will continue.♥

stream schedule

or at least, i'll try! no guarantees i'll fulfill every planned day every week because life shit, but feel free to join and see what all happens!at https://www.twitch.tv/msx2plus as always

new track preview

don't want to spoil too much, but i managed a new track this week that i'm quite happy with. more than usual, as it's one primarily made with the synths i just released. i'm glad they paid off in something that feels distinctly me.

update: plugins, "MORE ADVENTURES", brain drought

hey all, hope you're keeping well.this weekend all the plugins should be available - but that's really secondary to this update. this is more about where i am with music at the moment."MORE ADVENTURES" is about 50% done, but has been that way for a month or so, and i haven't been able to rough out even sketches i've felt all that happy with. i like to think of myself as something of an expert at "art blocks" since i know how they work. my understanding of creation...

plugin update

hello! i've been working on the plugins and the documentation feverishly for the past week in hopes to get them *ALL* released yesterday for my birthday. but that was a little bit optimistic of me.i'll need a few more days to get them all wrapped up, at which point every single one will be publicly available freely. this kind of thing wouldn't be possible without support from patrons, so THANK YOU!!!i'm probably going to take today and tomorrow pretty easy but will be back to the...

"just right"

morning scribble

"ragol" plugin now available (64bit VST3 + AU)

put this one together overnight last night. i wanted a tool to quickly put together multilayered highly resonant pink noise patches (as commonly heard in PSO1, Metroid Prime, etc), so here's that. no save or load xmlpreset functions or anything like that here, this just does what it does, nothing more, nothing less. don't have any documentation for it, but probably will eventually.it sounds like this: https://heckscaper.com/plugins/ragol.mp4as always:ONLY 64BIT VST3 AND AUDIO UNITS ARE O...
