Performance boost update is now live! Both audio and UI now renders faster.

Recent performance profiling suggests the UI is slower than the audio engine 😓 Currently working on the optimisation. Until the updates lands, if you are experiencing degraded performance, try closing master strip and instrument view on the timeline tab. Sorry for the inconvenience!

As a my side project of publishing Archive of IMS music (was popular in Korean BBS before the Internet), here's the new IMS composing program, runs on browser, uses Microtone in its core. In other words, IMS got a fancy new authoring tool *three decades* later!

The thing you do on a weekend with a fucking obsolete music format: somehow source the ancient music composition software and dissect it like hell until Ghidra spits out sensible disassemblies, just because the existing format specifications are incomplete.

1 : 11/9 : 3/2 is a perfectly valid chord the classical music theory denies its existence. In microtonal, we simply call it (undecimal) Neutral Triad, as it sits in the middle of Minor and Major. #microtonal

You'll notice recent patch notes mention something called IMS and AdLib instrument BNK import. What's up? While trackers were format of the scene in the west, in Korea the IMS with AdLib was the scene's choice. As a part of the preserving those undocumented culture, I have created my own OPL engine

Microtone's built-in FM Synthesiser: MUCH powerful and better-shaped than some "famous" $99 FM Rack VST ever allowed you to do

The article has been removed. Turns out, ProTracker 1.1b (one I was referencing) already shipped the Invert Loop, and thus my observations were nothing but bullshit. Fortunately I have acquired the source code of ProTracker 1.0c, which DOES have Funk Repeat, and will shortly come up with a REAL one.

Breaking news: I have acquired an explicit permission from one of the tracker legends to include one of their songs as a demo project for Microtone. Tune in for the next release 😎

I have an idea of using `X aabb` command to pan the sound source spherically, like, aa for azimuth, bb for elevation? ...maybe later.

Every tracker people have heard about the ProTracker's 'Funk Repeat' effect at least once; some of you may even have a frustrating experience of 4mat's songs not playing correctly outside the ProTracker. Guess what: Microtone fully supports them, and will even give you a real-time visualisation.

Microtone Patch Notes! - The Sample Lab. A tiny Audacity — edit your samples without leaving the browser - Record your own sample with microphone - The 'pattern ditto' effect now shows 'ghost notes' (and don't worry about the light theme; everything works just as well in the dark theme 🌚)

Do you know what's the most esoteric feature of Microtone? It supported Chinese traditional musical tuning from day one. Not just the notation, but the entire Shi'er Lü system! (left: how it looks on microtone.cc ; right: the same song loaded onto my prototype app)
