[size=110]8Tones is a very tiny chiptune (2A03-ish, actually more MMC5) maker app (coded with GML in Game Maker: Studio) that's highly inspired by Famitracker on PC. Available for Android, Windows Phone 8/8.1 and PC (exclusively for certain communities).[/size] [simg w=512 h=250]http://i.imgur.com/lCxMxzy.png[/simg] [size=140][b]Screenshots[/b][/size] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/y8zEVR9.png[/simg] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/KSvc5cN.png[/simg] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/8rIv8jw.png[/simg] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/3DxKEUG.png[/simg] [size=140][b]Downloads[/b][/size] [size=125]PC version:[/size] [url=https://app.box.com/s/05vwy40dkw1zfq12moaogs8kq50ytemm]04/26/2015 version![/url] [url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/106539740/8chips/8toness.zip]04/10/2015 version (OLD)[/url] REMEMBER: If you want to navigate back, just press [backspace] [size=125]iOS version:[/size] [url=https://itunes.apple.com/app/8tones/id1092939048?mt=8][img]http://www.guovagames.com/uploads/2/7/3/6/27361321/3758018_orig.png[/img][/url] [size=125]Android version:[/size] [url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.guova.eighttones][img]http://www.guovagames.com/uploads/2/7/3/6/27361321/519139612.png[/img][/url] [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WQD1BRA][img]http://www.guovagames.com/uploads/2/7/3/6/27361321/4830230.png[/img][/url] [size=125]Windows Phone/Mobile version:[/size] [url=http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=70e8bd4f-28d1-4386-a612-20b6b9535ce5][img]http://www.guovagames.com/uploads/2/7/3/6/27361321/_1830335.png[/img][/url] FOR PC USERS: All of your saved music file will be located at:[code]C:\Users\<YOUR USER FOLDER>\AppData\Local\8chips\projects[/code]Feel free to share it! ;) GML 8-bit sound system engine I wrote: [spoiler][quote="ENGINE"] Here's a basic engine I made for the headstart: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yajlvio925q8vdo/8chips.zip?dl=0 How to mess around my music engine: Play it like piano: [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/106539740/8chips/Controls.png[/img] To change octaves press [b]left & right[/b]. To change wave form (square 50%, square 25%, square 12.5%, triagle) press [b]up & down[/b]. So basically I used audio sample and use GML to manipulate its pitch. And [url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/fhm0rzunu56x2t4/waves.zip?dl=0]here is the file of all the sample I used in this engine. Yeah it's pretty small.(23kb)[/url][/quote][/spoiler]

How's it going to look on the phone? Also will there be a beat saver implemented so you can have like a track on loop you made while playing something else?

[img]http://i.imgur.com/YNqalQF.png[/img] Here's a progress I made. So far I need to program playback/saving/loading. As for some complex like beat saver. I dunno. But there will be play once/loop thingy coming.

That looks cool. Sort of looks like lsd's setup. I'll be sure to help test it on my phone when you release it.

You should consider adding button configuration for the keys. I find it really hard to produce the songs as if I was playing a piano when a computer keyboard's keys are so small and close together, so the ability to assign the notes to different keys would be useful.

^Actually this app is not for PCs. It's for mobile phones like Andrid/Windows Phone, there's no shortcut keys for mobile phones. Anyways here are my leaked screenshots of 8Tone (renamed from 8Chips) running on my Nokia Lumia 635: [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/pXpB9Cb.png[/simg] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/CUSXcMv.png[/simg] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/HG2PTyE.png[/simg] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/qLVte8q.png[/simg]

8chips is a better name, plus how would I test it if I don't have a phone

[quote="Darky"]8chips is a better name, plus how would I test it if I don't have a phone[/quote] Well, you wouldn't test it. :/

Hey don't get disappointed. There will be release for PC exclusively for MFGG. :D But my main focus is mobile platforms though.

[youtube]yqENnNJsLww[/youtube] Testing loop functions and WP styled menus.

Turning out very nice. The bubble man song sounded pretty good. This will be a cool thing for doing live things.

Yay more updates! [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/EYyrnVp.png[/simg] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/Hw1KSrD.png[/simg] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/qSlC5hY.png[/simg] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/ElBfY5a.png[/simg] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/MZA5xNS.png[/simg] [simg w=240 h=400]http://i.imgur.com/pAiGUfr.png[/simg] What I have made for progress so far:[list] [*]Added preview (plus automatic preview) option/button [*]Ability to add/delete rows (for those who wants to make long tracks) [*]Added main menu [*]Added settings (color picker, light/dark background)[/list] It's kinda interesting that my app act like a Windows Phone OS. Plus themed colors (rainbow color actually change colors dynamically) is always a neat thing. What I am expected to be done on the first public version ([b]Make everything simple:[/b] to-do list before I let you guys play around it):[list] [*]Save/load/delete projects (yeah it takes me forever to code something that messes around with 5 or more complex data structures) [*]Sample tracks (but this would take me forever since every single note consists 2 lines of code of GML. A full music has at least 100 notes) [*]Online help guide so my app can redirect it for help topics[/list]

Sorry for the bump but I have released 8Tones! Downloads in the first post.

Huge update for 8Tones![list][*]Android version is not available at Google Play Store![*]Unlimited files![*]Copy/paste rows[*]Better playback functions[*]Example tracks![*][PC]If you have more than 12 files, you can scroll using the wheel on your mouse[/list] Get them at the first post! Amazon App Store (Android) is under review right now! FOR PC USERS: All of your saved music file will be located at:[code]C:\Users\<YOUR USER FOLDER>\AppData\Local\8chips\projects[/code]Feel free to share it! ;) One more thing: [size=130]Please give it a shot and drop some feedbacks. It would be really appreciated![/size]

It's been a while since I've messed around with this app but I have a new update to announce! I have published an iOS version and on Android version you can now export the project as text files! With the text file you can import it via Famitracker (it's an emulated NES music sequencer)! For your convenience here are the links: [list] [*][url=https://itunes.apple.com/app/8tones/id1092939048?mt=8]iOS App Store[/url] [*][url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.guova.eighttones]Android Google Play Store[/url] [*][url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WQD1BRA]Android Amazon App Store[/url] [*][url=http://www.guovagames.com/8toneshelp.html]Help topics (including guides for Famitracker text importing)[/url][/list] As for iOS text export, I have just uploaded the new version for review. The update will be rolled out into the App Store around a week or two from now!

Hey, that seems to be a really nice project! I'll try the Windows Phone version. That being said, I'd like to try it on my computer but the most recent link doesn't seem to work for me :(

Wow, this is pretty impressive!

Here's an update: [img]http://i.imgur.com/u9U5HEt.png?2[/img] [youtube]A7rM7G9tHGE[/youtube] You can now edit notes faster on a pop-up piano roll. (Android Play Store only as for right now) Last of all here's my goals at this point: [list][*] Implement note copy/paste functions [*] Play the sample while interacting the piano roll [*] Make a "piano roll" for noise/beats[/list] By the way, I cannot seem to update Windows Phone version because Game Maker Studio WP export is glitchy as heck! I am waiting for UWP export module for GM: Studio Pro edition instead of Masters edition.

Clicked download and nothing happened =((
