* Corrected a ram length issue with the ROM exporter.
* Now you can delete "C" notes too in the selection area.
* Fixed an issue while calibrating the UI while in BView mode.
* The playback floating menu disappeared sometimes when exiting the file menu, this is fixed too.
* Fixed a bug while editing the macros in the instrument editor.
* Better UI organization.

I'm really happy to announce that Defle mobile was released!
Almost 2 years ago we started this huge work, first the rewrite of many core parts of the tracker and, second, adapt our minds to all this new mobile world requirements, small screens, many per device testing and last but not less important: legal developer program stuff.

AppStore and Play Store both require a lot of work under erratic and capricious guidelines but also paying licenses ($100 annually for iOS and $25 for Android users) for the required developer programs/accounts: it cost money to put an app in the mobile stores. More than what I initially thought. So guys keep this in mind if you want to make a mobile application.
DefleMask Mobile is not free, the store listing price is $6,99.

Thanks to be so open to understand why we need to make it a paid app.

I'm really proud of what we made through the years and how this project is evolving! Defle mobile have just born!

Get it now!

If I remember, I will ask my father on Monday. His wife is barely old enough to remember phones that crank for the operator and have no dial.

Thanks! smile

I'm looking now for very old games with 60hz arpeggios or the exact model of a 70s digital phone with a nice arpeggish ring sound.

I'm looking for the first "digital" phone that did the arp in a chiptune way. You're right urbster1, that video shows only 2 bells ringing and it is not a chord. However, some old phones used 3 bells and in the digital era the sound is very chiptunish

haha I didn't even think of that big_smile

Mechanical ultra fast arpeggio:

Also, this recording of the variophone from 1941:

Also around 0:46 you'll hear some faster arps that sound like a late 70's, early 80's space shooting game.

Wow I didn't expect to hear that type of sfx in a 1941 experiment! Pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing.

If the time stamp doesn't load, 58 seconds in are a bunch of 30ish hz arps - Bruce Haak, 1970

Wow it is amazing, an harp doing super fast arps. Some of them are almost 60hz because the speed is not constant.


Btw, those type of sounds were trying to replicate a telephone? After hearing so many effects I really do think now that the first ultra fast arpeggio in the history was from an actual telephone. The default ringtone of every phone is a ultra fast arpeggio.

EDIT: actually here's an earlier example, first track and probably elsewhere on the album as well:

This one is winning so far. It is from 1978!

Martin Galway is widely credited as the father of the chiptune arpeggio effect.

Wow this is was I needed to know!! Do you have the source of this data? Kong Strikes Back was released in 1985, at that date the Famicom in Japan was already 2 years old and the NES was being released in America. It is really strange this is the first time an arpeggio was used in a game though.

But one thing is an arpeggio and another one is an ultra fast arpeggio (like, at 60hz).

That sounds great, Gala. Looking forward to those examples. smile

Let's talk about this technique that tries to simulate a chord in a single channel by doing ultra fast changes in the tone.

It was purely born in the chiptune scene or it have pure electronic music roots?
It was the most important "discovering" for the chipmusic?
Who was the first game/tune that used this technique? We can play a game, someone have to post the older tune he can find that uses fast arpeggios and another user will have to beat that date.
