Music SoftSynth

Music SoftSynth

On September 26, 2011 Viznut released the Experimental music from very short C programs video on Youtube. Soon people started playing with various formulas and building tools to test them. The time has come for this project and 140byt.es to have a tiny baby.

Behold the 140bytes Music SoftSynth in JavaScript!

See more information and a live demo of the 140bytes Music SoftSynth

f, // the formula generating the sound

// eval and append the next 8bits value of the sound
