PortaMod for Processing
So as I gruffly explain in the video, thanks to my extremely sore throat, I’m showing off the most recent additions to my PortaMod library for Processing. Prolific genius and Up Rough group-mate goto80 asked for a few things which I hadn’t thought of, as well as a few things that I had, and I decided to get as many in as I could this weekend.
Now there’s on-the-fly loop start/end adjustment, individual channel muting, channel volume override, custom effect injection (only for a few ProTracker effects right now – more to come), per-channel transposition (new – previously it was all chans or none), sample dump from the currently-loaded MOD to disk, on-the-fly sample replacement (and restoration of the original)…and maybe more I’ve forgotten :)
Now I’ve got the laborious task of putting this all into ChipdiscoDJ, which is due a MASSIVE update and overhaul so I can start showing it to people again without being embarrassed.
Meanwhile, version 0.1 of PortaMod is available so give it a try next time you need to soundtrack your Processing sketches with lightweight, sample-based music and accurately sync your visuals to any and every note, row, pattern, effect, parameter, pan-position, etc. – crayolon.net/portamod

CHIPFLIP on Syphus’ CHIPDISCO
The British chipmusician Syphus is a schooled composer who has been active in the Amiga demoscene for ages, written his dissertation on chip music and how its formats have survived the age of MP3-recoded music. Now he’s developing a DJ-tool for Amiga MOD-files, where instruments and sequence data is individually accessible. Recorded music enables very limited manipulation of the music but with the MOD-format you can change potentially every aspect of a song; tones and scales, rhythms, volumes, arrangement, etc. This is an old dream of mine coming true; an untapped potential of well-archived and “open source” chipmusic.
