I wrote so several times:
- Chipper is only some (bad) gui for the text/macro based assembler code which is compiled into the lynx binaries.
- the version public is not the latest one, but no time/interesst for bug fixes. esp midi import was only added in private distributed version
- contrary to what someone wrote above, chipper can directly compile lynx ROMs for test listening. provided that you have the tools installed.
BLL/TC name the driver. BLL based one or Zaku based one. The later is better, but the instrument support for chipper is missing. Means, you optimize the instruments by hand and copy them over into the exported file.
So the workflow is sub-optimal.
nowadays i prefer to edit the instruments directly on the lynx and check them by sending midi commands by comlynx. (und update/download them by comlynx). Even so the tooling is trivial (and the code available on github),you still need a proper(!) usb/serial/comlynx cable.as the tollon the lynx can play not only four channel from live midi, but also read from ROM, it is a nice but ressource hungry midi/synth-player.
Some example ROMs can be found here in the forum. Or check the game Tropsy, which was written around a first version of the player.
And no: I do not plan any more updates to chipper.
