4000AD

~ Release by PROTODOME (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Hello! So, I've been working on a PhD for 4 years, hence the lack of releases. Here's some of the stuff I've created during that time. 4000AD is a tiny, 4-track, 1-bit, progressive jazz album. Each track is synthesised using a C script (which converts a custom MML dialect to WAV by running microcontroller code and recording the output) and is a fun exercise in both low-memory programming and 1-bit music.

The sound routine is 1-bit, with three pulse channels and a simple sampler for drums, designed for AVR microcontrollers. The sequencing is based around MML. If you're interested in seeing how it all works, check out the source code here:
github.com/protodomemusic/mmml

I've also included the MML for all the songs here as a demo.

Please be aware that the code for all the tools are hot garbage at the moment and needs some serious cleaning up. Additionally, you can find the source files available for each song there.
