Small music-player
I am looking for a small (meaning SIZE) music player and an according editor. I don't care about the rastertime or feature limitations, just small. Any candidates which could save me from doing something on my own? Thanx in advance... |

Thanx for your comments (and for noticing this thread bewtween the "others" ;))! I think I'll contact Jeff, his routine looks great... |

Hi, Ninjatracker has a bit over $300 byte playroutine and takes about 11-12 rasterlines max. It includes roughly all usual effects (wavetable which also handles slide/vibrato, pulsetable, filtertable) but can be little sadomasochistic to edit..

how about Sadotracker...? It is quite short and has all the common features. |

Sadotracker is quite unnecessarily long compared to Ninjatracker. Playroutine is around $500 bytes I think. Though, it can achieve Hubbard/Cooksey like sounds easily :) |

Thanx again, but for me the subject is closed. I contacted Jeff, got some tunes, reassembled and optimized them and now I have short music in ~$190 bytes :) |

~$190 bytes - that is the same sound in all three channels? |

Regarding small music players, Steve Judd had some ideas about relative intervals and other compression techniques in his C=Hacking article in the MiniGame special (issue 21). I tried a few of them in one of my VIC-20 players, but didn't manage to save very much space. I was happy to end around 600 bytes for player and data, but that chip also has fewer registers to address than the SID. |
