Beat Blocks beats hit Bitbox !

New program ! A Beat Box project on the Bitbox. Used to make rhythms with drums samples, you know.

It sports 8 tracks with two possible instruments on each of them (16 different instruments max), looped on a 16 beats track.

It is controlled by a USB gamepad or a keyboard, and can be used live (ie changing patterns or editing them)

It works by playing and modifying patterns on a mod file on the SD card (samples can be bigger than the bitbox memory), so you can create drumkits quite easily with a Tracker and play/modify it on the bitbox.

Of course, it's free and open sourced ! See sources and graphics on GitHub

Bitbox Mod player !

A MOD file (tracker files for those remembering them) player is available and can be used for streaming mods from the SD card (with minimal impact on RAM & Flash)

Of course it is integrated to the bitbox kernel (latest one), so that games will be able to make use of it ; it can be loaded with the bootloader - and the bootloader is available when you press reset+userbutton.

See the video for the demo hereafter (sound has been taken by my phone from the speakers so it's better in reality)
