This was an exercise I was doing in transcribing music from sheet music - in this case, the first Gymnopédies from Erik Satie's 3 Gymnopédies - and it actually turned out to contain a really interesting little technical challenge.
There's more polish I could and probably should do of this - I have twenty-five empty SFX to work with - but I'm happy with it. It was a really good exercise.
@DaGrub Are you using the web player or pasting the data into PICO-8? I know the web player doesn't work for me on mobile and pasting into PICO-8 doesn't work for me when music uses custom SFX instruments, so either of those could result in silence.
I could upload a barebones PICO-8 cart png? Here's a barebones PICO-8 cart png.
@touk Glad you enjoyed it! I will say that "mobile" in my case is iOS Safari on an iPhone 6, so it might not be surprising that some things don't work - it still works for what I need, though, so I want to keep it running.
Let me know if you have questions about the explanation that could use clarifying - or about the arrangement generally, if you like.
@DaGrub Thanks! I think holding the arpeggios longer would require a(nother) full rewrite. which I'm not gonna do, but that's an interesting thought.
And that's surprising with regard to Safari on Mac - I wonder what the deal is there, and if it's the same factor in both cases.
