Answer to preceding post ... ByteBeat

As you may have tried yourself, the tiny binaries produced by the preceding code create long tunes directly coded by a function of time !

So you basically have s=f(t) where s is the output sample, t the sample id and f a simple expression as the one I put on the title.

The thing is you can actually build quite complex song with it ! 

This technique has been called bytebeat and the main article describing it was made by someone named "viznut".

See the original article here http://countercomplex.blogspot.fr/2011/10/algorithmic-symphonies-from-one-line-of.html or here http://canonical.org/~kragen/bytebeat/




and and example with trippy visualizations :



I surely will include one or two of them in a test audio program on the sdk .. In the meantime here is the code :

    I wonder if IBNIZ (https://github.com/viznut/IBNIZ) would run fast enough on the Bitbox to be useful...

    Thanks for example with trippy visualizations :) It seems to me that Mario and Sonic games had the similar music and graphics.
