More chiptunery today, tomorrow something else, my ears have gone all glitchy :P . This one’s called “shhh, rats….”

Onward with my trend of a composition a day. A glitchy chip song today.

New track, faster 8bit chiptune inspired by Anamanaguchi, entitles “Ann, a man in gucci”

I wrote some new music over the weekend.  Its a fantasy track that I imagine might go with Humans in an RTS setting.

Uploaded some new tracks to the soundcloud.  Another Bullet tune, 2 Edge ideas, and ElectroRTS

Yesterday Nora and I went to our second pub crawl since we’ve been in Sydney with Nora’s uni mates. They’re all very friendly and I have a great time but it’s the wide range of nationalities that’s interesting. Israeli, Spaniard, Canadian, Italian, south African, Iranian, Dutch, German, Chinese, and Finnish. Multicultural or what?

New couches, yay! (Taken with instagram)

I got the Gaia working as a basic Midi Device in Cubase, no panel controls as yet but still happy to have all my patches in order.  I was gonna do the CDP-220R too but the channel and bank order appears to be completely random and even worse the manual is a locked pdf that doesn’t allow copy pasting.  Too much work for too little payoff on that front. 

I chucked a new download link at the top of the page and the files are in there.

Upon further investigation into creating a vst for the Roland Gaia SH01 I’ve hit gold.  As Cubase is now my primary DAW yesterday I realized that I can just create a custom midi device and panel and use the sysex commands to control the synth.  I’m pumped as I seem to waste a lot of time trying to find the right sound I created as the Gaia doesn’t have a name display.  If I can get it all linked into Cubase I’ll be able to save tones and even create channel presets which should save me a lot of time of the sounds I reuse.  I’ve downloaded MidiOx to interpret the sysex information but it still seems like its going to be a very time consuming process, but then everything worthwhile is.  While I’m at it I hope to make a setup for the Casio CDP-220R as well.  When these are done I’ll host them here so other people can use them too.  After Easter this is my highest priority.

I am also going to start playing with plugins for Unity. @tomkillen managed to get full Fmod integration with the current version of Unity and I’m wasting a lot of resources getting around the strange limitations that Unity puts on its Fmod back end.  So I figure why bother? I’ll just spend some time getting right to the core and use Fmod designer, I’m sure one of the other WPC pricks will have some guidance for me!
