Wookie Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 So I want to play around with making some sounds/music for the Lynx. There are several trackers for other platforms that emulate the sound hardware and let you save out your music in a format usable in a game. Are there any tools out there for the Lynx? I know Songbird made a sound tool cart for the Lynx but I'm looking for tool that runs on my Linux box or will run on my iPhone. Anything? --Wookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything? --Wookie I have only played around with the abc and midi stuff. It does not work too well. But there is a package for Linux called abcMIDI I think. In any case I wrote an output module for it that exports c-files that contain the notes. The idea is to pick a midi file and run some sequence of commands to generate a Lynx music file. midi2abc tune.mid > tune.abc abc2abc -t 4 tune.abc > tune2.abc (transpose up by 4 steps, just an example) abc2lynx tune2.abc > tune.c I also studied the polynomian generator and found out that most waveforms can be achieved with many different settings. So I wrote a program to try to find unique waveforms and came up with a list of 6185 different bit sequences the Lynx hardware can create. This data is useful for finding out instrument sounds. I also know about a Windows tool that can output the correct Lynx sound and also show it as graphics. It might have been made by Matthias or Sage. Then there is a very interesting project someone should do. It is a "sound save" mode into Handy or Mednafen. Many platforms have a possibility to record sounds so that they can be played back on media players. The idea is to create a plugin for media players and just store the register settings and time stamp them on the Handy. Duranik had a mod-player for the Lynx. I also have a copy of wav2lsf. It is a wav to Lynx converter with sample packer. Then there is Carls audio stuff that is used in Songbird games. -- Regards, Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp48 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Karri, Where, oh where I could find the abc2lynx software, I've used ABC language for algorithmic composition for years, I would very much like to play sounds with Lynx, but can't find the abc2lynx (except a broken link/page in sipo.fi). Really looking forward to hear from you ! Thanks for advance ! Best, Jukka Jep, P-Karjalasta ! So I want to play around with making some sounds/music for the Lynx.
