(JACK, LADSPA, GMPI, XAP etc.) These days, I'm running my own business, and since part of that is developing games, I'm kind of getting back into music agan. However, I'm pretty much exclusively using weird custom tools (as always!), so I'm not sure I can contribute much to The Cause anyway, I'm afraid... The tracks above are all realtime synthesis on a custom engine, ChipSound, using geometric waveforms and noise only. It's a very simplistic synth from the DSP point of view, but it's driven by a per-voice microthreaded realtime scripting engine, which is how it can still produce somewhat interesting sounds. No pre-rendered waveforms, filters or anything so far, but there's off-line rendering, modular voices and stuff in my development tree. All sounds and music coded in a standard code editor (KDE Kate) so far, but I'm planning on throwing the MIDI master keyboard in the mix later on. No proper home yet, but the latest release as of now is found here: http://olofsonarcade.com/2012/03/13/chipsound-0-1-0-released-zlib- license/ Of course, I'm still developing and running everything on Linux!
