Ableton Live 8: This video demos a Nanoloop 1.5, running on a GameBoy, synced to Ableton Live. Read more…

Let’s get this out of the way up front: The answer is – because it was there.

This video demonstrates an iPod with TouchOSC controlling a vintage Commodore 64 synthesizer (SID Chip), with a home made C64 MIDI interface.

Hacktacular.

Littlescale, we salute you.

OT: This is the trailer video for High Strangeness, a 12 bit action / adventure video game for the PC about:

crystal skulls
shadow people
flashlight wielding teenagers
string theory
chaos theory
multiverses
dimensional physics
and a talking cat

Note the soundtrack on this – it’s reminiscent of some of Vangelis’ early work, such as Nucleogenesis, from Albedo 0.39.

All 4-bit Waveforms That Have 32 Samples

via littlescale:

I built a patch that will generate and play all 4-bit waveforms that have 32 samples.

For those that use LSDJ – the well-known Game Boy music tracker – this configuration will seem very familiar of course.

There are 16 ^ 32 possibilities. The patch plays 100 different waveforms for every second, at a constant frequency of 440 Hz. At this rate it will take 1,079,028,307,100,000,000,000,000,000 centuries to complete.

Fortunately, the video is only 1:38 minutes long, though.
