The Triton group created Fasttracker 2, alas I was not a member. I was only in net-labels for tracker music and submitted my tracks to the music compos at the parties. It is and was so nice to experience and explore how art can be created with the help of computers. I am happy that this culture continues to exist, until recently I had totally neglected/forgotten the demo scene. Jazz Jackrabbit is a game dear to my heart, I still have the CD-Rom. The music is so nice. Thanks for the nice comment!

I finally fixed that tough bug! It was a stupid writing-out-of-bounds mistake.

Thanks! 3DS homebrew excites me a lot as well :)

Thanks! I spent almost the entire day chasing a memory corruption bug, saving and reloading a file would lead to crazy misbehaving (freezing or crashing)😅 Gladly I got a grip on it the morning after, before going to my regular day-job 😊

Haha thanks in advance! I just found your channel by the video about the Amiga workbench. While not having owned an Amiga, I have always been super impressed by the Amiga demo scene. Do you know Hoffman's channel? www.youtube.com/@HoffmanKZbin

@@NoiseCommander3DS sure I know H0ffman. Everyone knows him 😂 I have a wish to share more Amiga content, but I am afraid to inject it into my channel which is clearly Linux focused.

Thanks! It will take a lot more time to mature, you got time ;)

@@danielmcdonald9177 Alas I don't own a normal New 3DS as of yet. I assume it has a bit less weight than the XL and is more pocketable. I like taking the OG 3ds when traveling lightly.

The app is doing all DSP in software because I don't understand enough about the Teakra DSP and could not find any example code to get a grip. I did use it at first as it it is exposed in libctru, but moved to the software way eventually. As I understand it, it is programmable but the default DSP firmware program is used by most if not all apps. Libctru exposes 24 channels with a filter on each. But I did not find a way to control routing or write custom effects and that way it would not have been possible to implement buses and record the groupt-signals to the SD card. There is Nitro-Tracker for the DS (there is a 3ds port called nitrous) which is very close to Fasttarcker 2 and I recently found out that it does use the Teakra hardware for playback. But the effects column was hidden because it is not finished. It does not provide effects. It would be amazing to use Teakra for more performance. But with what I have we also get 24 mono channels, four mono bus groups plus a few effects and SD recording. It's all mono due to CPU resources. The new 3ds could do stereo easily though, I believe - will get to that in the future. But I imagine the battery life could benefit from the hardware? By the way I did not know about the pulse/noise hardware features, is that so? I guess you can program it as you like if you know the hardware well. Anyway, thanks for being excited, makes me happy 😊

I should warn and disclaim that I am a dilletant and amateur programmer, thus you should not expect the project to progress quickly. I have been on it for almost 1.5 years.wish me luck 🤞

There is a lot of information about Teakra but I honestly don't understand one bit of it :D github.com/wwylele/teakra github.com/aspargas2/advent-of-code-2023/tree/main/day02-teak www.ceva-ip.com/press/parthusceva-launches-xpertteak-based-digital-audio-extensions-and-development-environment-for-consumer-applications/ (You made me re-google so I found a few more traces :) ) github.com/koi-ikeno/nitroustracker-koi github.com/0xtob/libntxm

@@NoiseCommander3DS is it running on top of the 3DS's operating system (home menu is accessible) or is it bare metal? the CPU shouldn't have to be used too much since sample start/end/loop points, volume/panning, pitch, etc. are implemented in hardware. some arm11/arm9 assembly could also help optimize it- I know Gameboy assembly but want an excuse to finally really learn ARM assembly.

​@@reverseretro1961 NC is a homebrew app developed in c++ with libctru using the devkitpro tool-chain, so it runs alongside with the OS like games. I am not good at deciphering assembly code but bare metal sounds exciting :D All the features you mention are exposed in libctru's ndsp c headers but I could figure out if/how to grab the mixed signal back or do custom routing, custom effects etc, that's why I paddled back. Also, the headers to mention reverb/delay effects but they are not accessible. I assume these effects may be part of the default dsp firmware program but are not yet fully exposed in libctru. I did play with the filters, they are fun and yes it uses very little cpu then.

Yes but rarely. I collected a lot of hardware-grooveboxes and I tend to make loose hip hop- or breakbeat loops but not finish tracks. I had planned to talk/showcase some of them but didn't find time. I do plan to put more recently recorded jams on this channel as well. What hardware/software do you use or like?

@@NoiseCommander3DS I pretty much make all of my music on FL Studio, mostly just using the plugins that come with it. The only hardware I really have anymore is my guitar stuff (amps, pedal units) and a microkorg xl. Always been into hardware synths, but money situation and room size situation never agree with that interest 😅

@@PolarTrance I think specializing on one software is the way to be productive and I heard many good things about FL. I believe all the music that I adore is NOT made with grooveboxes after all :D I remembered that I have a soundcloud with stuff I made in Renoise: soundcloud.com/ivofx/sets/my-dub-tracks-positive-and soundcloud.com/ivofx/tracks

Good idea!

Thank you so much! :)

Probably around twenty years is my guess :)

That is very kind, thank you! The 3DS/2DS is such a great package indeed, it can do so much.

@@NoiseCommander3DS i love seeing new community made content for the 3ds so ill try to actively support anything i see.

It's one of my favourites too :) Thanks for commenting!

I tried to help but I think it's not easy to operate without a screen. I don't know how to use the arp out of my memory, apologies! kzbin.infoICU4hbnXdEo kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWKTiGijotaBd80

P.S. sorry for the vertical video, the camera I normally use stopped working :(

@@NoiseCommander3DS have you tried FL Studio? Try it with that too.

Thank you 🙏 Got a long way to go but it should be fun

chiptune is a pretty broad term

Does the Mega Drive/Genesis music qualify for you as chiptune?

There is a native clone here 16-bits.org/ft2.php In the video I am running the original FT2 in DOSBox under Linux but it also runs on windows. I hope that helps! I believe I had to change the IRQ setting to 5 for the Soundblaster emulation it produce sound.

@@NoiseCommander3DS i found it earlier, but thanks dude

Thanks for commenting twice, I am extremely happy that you like the tracks so much. This is my most successful video :)

I got complaints and dislikes because of the AI images, I don't want anyone feel deceived by them.
