Hello! I'm working on adding Gen MDM compatibility to my VST, and it's *almost* working save for one issue that I've been debugging for hours. I've gone through again and again and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, DR2 just isn't working right

(Midi CC 51 to 54, " Secondary Decay Rate")

At first I thought it just wasn't responding to messages at all, but now it seems more like each write to DR2 only affects one of the operators no matter which of the 4 I write to (It seems like 51, 52, 53, and 54 might all be affecting Operator 1, but my tests have been inconsistent and the results are confusing). The confusing behavior even happens if I control the chip manually from my DAW with MIDI messages which was what led me to believe this could be a possible bug.

Has anyone else noticed any problems with the Secondary Decay Rate, or is it possible that I'm missing something? All the other parameters work perfectly and at this point I'd even be happy with a hack if anyone knows one!

UTSource is pretty great for this stuff:

I got some YM2612's from here,  they shipped quickly and the prices where pretty cheap.

Another new update, I added almost 50 new songs! Finding this stuff takes a long time, if you guys have any recommendations for songs I should put on the site I would really appreciate it!

Updated the site, made its SQL use a bit more efficient, and linked up the domain properly! If you bookmarked it, make sure your bookmark points at www.bit-slap.net and not www.wonthelp.info/chipsite! The wonthelp link wont work anymore, sorry!

Thanks! It's done in pure AS3 using a tracker module playback library written in AS3 called Flod. I'd like to support impulse tracker modules, unfortunately Flod doesn't currently have support for them. I imagine it would be fairly easy to add support. Looking at Alchemy has me interested though, maybe I could use it to support VGM formats without having to write AS3 ports for a bunch of YM chips. Thanks for bringing it up!

Oh man, this is nice. I'd suggest adding a scroll bar, but other than that, the site is pretty sweet!

A scroll bar would be awesome, gonna add that in my next update!

VGMMMMM

but this is awesome. I think it would be awesome to open it up to nsf, vgm, spc, etc,

I really wanna cover some actual hardware formats but unfortunately its going to be quite a bit of work. It looks like there aren't a whole lot of options available, so anything would have to be written by myself. That's not saying it won't happen, it just might take some time tongue.

BTW, I updated the site! Theres a bunch of new music up there, and an Amiga mode button for making 4 channel Amiga tracks mono if you don't like the strange panning. Wrote a bunch of new tools to make updating the site easier too, so more soon!

Oh. I guess I never payed attention to that 'cause you can't put a rgb pro-verted backsound in an Amiga :v

I think an option for mono playback would still be nice, if it's possible!

I agree, some of the Amiga songs can sound a bit funny. The splitting it due to the Amiga itself as VCMG mentioned. I think it had something to do with its 4 channels actually consisting of only 2 stereo channels, so if you wanted stereo sound you'd only get 2 or 3 instruments instead of 4. I think a mono button is a great idea, I'll add it in an update!

This is awesome!, VGM will be supported?.

I'd really like to, though it requires actual chip emulation so it'd be a bit tricky. I'm not opposed to writing a YM2612 plugin in AS3 though, so it may very well happen.

EDIT: Come to think of it, yeah VGM is way more than just the 2612 haha. Adding this could be a lot of work if there isn't already a plugin available, we'll see what happens.

Thanks again for the feedback everyone, I really hope this site picks up!

Thanks, glad you guys like it! I plan to keep updating it with new features and music, hopefully on a daily basis. Already added a Never Again button to songs to  tell a song never to come up in a shuffle, and added a couple new songs.

      -You can now link to songs by typing ?s=song.xm after bit-slap.net (ex http://www.bit-slap.net/?s=mrgamer_veryHappyChip.xm)

Oct 28th, 2012  - Added skip track button, fixed shuffle so it doesn't repeat.
Oct 26th, 2012   - A bunch more music and an Amiga mode button for making Amiga tracks mono.

Hello! I've been working hard on this for a little while now, and I really want to get the word out to anyone who might appreciate an online chiptune library. Pretty much what it is, is a Flash based media player that plays tracker formats. I have a collection of XM tunes up on it right now, and I hope to grow the library as time goes on. Try it out if you're interested, I'd love any sort of feedback as I'm still actively working on this!

You can find it at http://www.bit-slap.net
