(<a href="https://gruber99.bandcamp.com/album/pico-chill">Bandcamp</a>]</p> <p>The idea for this album started in February 2021, when I <a href="https://twitter.com/gruber_music/status/1362790431747112962?s=20">posted</a> some lo-fi inspired music, originally written for a Pico-8 game. Comments were encouraging. I was also interested in exploring ambient structures in Pico-8, and thought they would pair nicely with lo-fi music.</p> <p>Thanks to Zep for the incredibly cute (and meta!) artwork and animation. I love everything about it. There's about 40mins of animation, which can be seen in the YouTube video:</p> <p><object width="640" height="400"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/WEEO9vOTsRE&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/WEEO9vOTsRE&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="400"></embed></object></p> <p>(<a href="https://youtu.be/WEEO9vOTsRE">https://youtu.be/WEEO9vOTsRE</a>)</p> <p>Hope you enjoy!</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=46984 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=46984 Tue, 15 Mar 2022 12:47:11 UTC Gruber's Music Machine <p>I&rsquo;ve been building a kind of music-machine-cart to help new Pico-8 users get a head start in composing their own music. </p> <p> <iframe src="sfxp2.php?id=11292_10" width="402" height="300" style="border:none; overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" allow="autoplay"></iframe><a style="cursor:pointer; font-size:8pt" onclick=' var el = document.getElementById("sfxcode_11292_10"); if (el.style.display == "none") el.style.display = ""; else el.style.display = "none"; microAjax("/bbs/sfxc/11292_10.txt", function (retdata){ var el = document.getElementById("sfxcode_11292_10"); el.innerHTML = retdata; el.focus(); el.select(); } ); '> [sfx] </a> <textarea rows=3 class=lexinput id="sfxcode_11292_10" style="width:480px;background-color:#fed;display:none;overflow:hidden; font-size:4pt;"></textarea> </p> <p>Using this machine, I composed the above snippet in about 5mins using mostly finger wiggling and button mashing.

<strong>EXACTLY TWO</strong> years ago! Vol. 2 has been in the works for a while, so we're excited to finally have this finished. </p> <p>If you're not familiar with Pico-8 Tunes, the idea was to fill a Pico-8 cart with music that devs can use in their games. Jakub coded some amazing doodles and animations to accompany the music and create a demoscene-like experience. We're also very happy that <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=11378"> <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=11378"> @castpixel</a></a> contributed her amazing artwork to Vol. 2.

You can also download all the music from <a href="https://gruber99.bandcamp.com/album/pico-8-tunes-vol-2">BandCamp</a> (it's all free/pwyc!!)</p> <p><em>(Note that if you ARE going to use this music in your games, some of the tracks use the instrument editor. For example, Autumn Wind uses seven SFX. 42, 43, 44, 45, 00, 01 and 02. Be sure to grab all seven, and paste SFX 00, 01 and 02 into those same slots).</em></p> <p>Play Vol. 1 <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=29008">HERE</a></p> <h2><strong>Credits</strong></h2> <p>Compositions - Gruber (<a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=11292"> @Gruber</a>)<br /> Animations, Coding - Jakub Wasilewski (<a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=12861"> <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=12861"> @krajzeg</a></a>)<br /> Album Artwork - Christina-Antoinette Neofotistou (<a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=11378"> <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=11378"> @castpixel</a></a>)</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=33675 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=33675 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 14:00:31 UTC JS Bach's 2-Part Inventions <p>Hey friends,</p> <p>For your interest, in case you haven�t seen it on Twitter, <a href="https://twitter.com/TRASEVOL_DOG">Trasevol_Dog</a> and I just finished a major collaboration on JS Bach�s Two-Part Inventions. </p> <p>I arranged all 15 of these compositions in Pico-8 (Each required 2-3 carts worth of SFX).

This makes using triplets, or writing in triple time (3/4) very inefficient. If you loop a 3-count pattern, the music editor will loop it up to 32-counts, then restart. The only workaround is to not use loops when composing in multiples of three, but this takes up way to much space. For a future update, maybe the ability to edit the number of counts in the music editor? If I could have changed the counts from 32 to say, 24 or 36, it would have saved lots of work and memory. Does that make sense?</p> <p>Another quick observation, though I don't think it has an easy fix: Gradual, linear tempo changes are also memory hogs. The title music from ALttP required 2/3 of the music allotment, even though it's only 20 seconds long (<a href="https://soundcloud.com/gruber99/sets/the-legend-of-zelda-alttp-pico">https://soundcloud.com/gruber99/sets/the-legend-of-zelda-alttp-pico</a>)</p> <p>Hope this is helpful!</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=2916 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=2916 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 18:06:59 UTC Hyrule Castle (Zelda ALttP) <p> <table><tr><td> <a href="/bbs/?pid=17890#p"> <img src="/bbs/thumbs/pico17888.png" style="height:256px"></a> </td><td width=10></td><td valign=top> <a href="/bbs/?pid=17890#p"> Hyrule Castle (Zelda ALttP)</a><br><br> by <a href="/bbs/?uid=11292"> Gruber</a> <br><br><br> <a href="/bbs/?pid=17890#p"> [Click to Play]</a> </td></tr></table> </p> <p>This is my Pico-8 remake of Hyrule Castle from Zelda ALttP (I recreated the entire soundtrack in Pico-8. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/gruber99/sets/the-legend-of-zelda-alttp-pico">https://soundcloud.com/gruber99/sets/the-legend-of-zelda-alttp-pico</a>)</p> <p>I'm happy to upload any other of the cartridges, just let me know! </p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=2915 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=2915 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 17:42:11 UTC Gruber Jam #2 <p> <table><tr><td> <a href="/bbs/?pid=16681#p"> <img src="/bbs/thumbs/pico16677.png" style="height:256px"></a> </td><td width=10></td><td valign=top> <a href="/bbs/?pid=16681#p"> Gruber Jam #2</a><br><br> by <a href="/bbs/?uid=11292"> Gruber</a> <br><br><br> <a href="/bbs/?pid=16681#p"> [Click to Play]</a> </td></tr></table> </p> <p>Very different from my first one.
