Łukasz Sychowicz (X-Ray) - "Barymag #2 - 8" -- Chiptune Visualization / Atari SAP

*** PLEASE, WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY FOR PROPER AUDIO! ***

So, I decided to take a look at all the separate channels of some chiptune music at once. Thought it might look cool, since those waveforms are usually so pretty. I quickly put together a script to create this and other videos. I had this one lying around for a while, so I decided to upload it too.

We see here 6 channels. Each channel has a pan value (left or right), and I organized them accordingly. I also paired similar channels side-by-side.

This video has a lame naive timbre-capture algorithm: it just finds the first zero-crossing and locks it to the left side of the screen. This way you see waveforms aligned to eachother - at least most of the time. A decent algorithm is trickier than I thought. Until then, have another one. YouTube needs more chiptune anyway.

Excellent work friend! I'd love to remix this, however I only deal in MIDI and you may scoff at my insolence as a result of that association

@Donimusic Good news, I've recently made a tool that converts Atari music into MIDI files. You can now work on your remix! :P

Check my website (link on my profile page) for the post about it. The MIDI for Barymag is in the "more examples" link. Let me know if you do make a remix of this! :)

There needs to be more music like this on Youtube. Great job man ^ ^

X-Ray is awesome !

[Donimusic]

@1ucasvb awesome! I'll let you know if I come up with anything

[Chucknorrisaurrus]

God damn, this is catchy. I. CAN'T. GET. ENOUGH.

I'm so glad I know about Greyscale, or I never would have found these. I love these so much. Thanks for the upload

[MetroidChild]

THIS is the type of music they should play on radio!

[101jir]

Very exciting.
