MICROTONE GETS CUSTOM FONT Here's the preview/proof sheet. The font will be available under SIL 1.1 And it will be one of the first fonts that support quarter-tone notation added in Unicode 18.

Some of you might have noticed the font on the pattern view has been changed. Yes, we're going to change the font by making our own! The current font is Chivo Mono, which is what the new font will be based on. Meanwhile, here's my quote for all of my supporters!

My first ever song! soundcloud.com/curioustorva...

Announcing Microtone Touch, a musical sketchpad for your phone, live at touch.microtone.cc. Free, zero installation. Sketches sync with the desktop version (microtone.cc) with SceneID sign in.

I think I like it already

Microtone is now available as a native app: install once, run every time, automatic update, SceneID integration also works! Supports Windows, Mac (universal), and Linux (AMD64) github.com/Microtone-Pr...

Right now, when you visit microtone.cc with your phone, it shows a "Taud Player", which is basically a placeholder. It'd be great if I can make use of that touch screen for something...

Performance boost update is now live! Both audio and UI now renders faster.

Recent performance profiling suggests the UI is slower than the audio engine 😓 Currently working on the optimisation. Until the updates lands, if you are experiencing degraded performance, try closing master strip and instrument view on the timeline tab. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Microtone is featured on scene.org demoscene news service! news.scene.org/news/700/mic...

Open your projects in anywhere on the go! Microtone now has online projects. Sign in with SceneID and get 8 slots for the songs you're working on, and Ctrl+S saves straight back.

The thing you do on a weekend with a fucking obsolete music format: somehow source the ancient music composition software and dissect it like hell until Ghidra spits out sensible disassemblies, just because the existing format specifications are incomplete.

I have become a proud owner of two NPM packages www.npmjs.com/~curioustorv...

Taudplay, a JS package for playing .taud songs in your JS application, has been published on NPM! www.npmjs.com/package/taud...

No more rely on external programs for mastering — because Microtone now has in-app mastering tool! This is not a preview, it's available right now!

Microtone is now officially registered copyrighted work 😎 The registration is done to fight against the future plagiarism-and-monetisation attempts and keep the original Microtone free for everyone.

1 : 11/9 : 3/2 is a perfectly valid chord the classical music theory denies its existence. In microtonal, we simply call it (undecimal) Neutral Triad, as it sits in the middle of Minor and Major. #microtonal

Microtone's built-in FM Synthesiser: MUCH powerful and better-shaped than some "famous" $99 FM Rack VST ever allowed you to do

The article has been removed. Turns out, ProTracker 1.1b (one I was referencing) already shipped the Invert Loop, and thus my observations were nothing but bullshit. Fortunately I have acquired the source code of ProTracker 1.0c, which DOES have Funk Repeat, and will shortly come up with a REAL one.

Breaking news: I have acquired an explicit permission from one of the tracker legends to include one of their songs as a demo project for Microtone. Tune in for the next release 😎

What if FM synthesis but the oscillators are PCM samples 🤔

I have demystified the elusive Funk Repeat from the ProTracker 1.x: what it was and how it worked. ko-fi.com/post/The-elu...

Microtone Patch Notes There has been stream of releases, here are short version: - Binaural now uses SADIE, the same model used by Google - Two new visualisers for master strip - Fix: vibrato/tremolo/panbrello speed - Fix: G after note-off could arrive silent Full notes: microtone.cc/docs#patchno...

Microtone Patch Notes! - More flexible Metainstrument creation — you can now have multiple copies of the same instruments - Full Metainstrument editor with chord stack creator - Duplicate an instrument — will create a copy of it without duplicating the samples

BIG UPDATE! Microtone now supports spatial audio natively: put sound sources anywhere on a sphere. Monitoring via binaural, export to Ambisonic! Other changes: - Welcome screen - Monitoring strip with scopes - Panner for easy panning - Context menu for easy tool access - Extensive documentations

There had been no updates on Microtone for last week. What's happening? The development is actively happening, it's just getting polished before the release. That being said, if you are a supporter of the project, you can have early access to the next release! ko-fi.com/post/Microto...

A mockup of what's coming, all related to spatial audio that made popular again by VR!

Upcoming: official Taud Engine Specification More details are available on the project's Ko-fi page! ko-fi.com/curioustorvald

I have an idea of using `X aabb` command to pan the sound source spherically, like, aa for azimuth, bb for elevation? ...maybe later.
