I'm working on note insertion and deletion. Also some changes:
Hold F2 to play. It stops once released (will change it to a toggle button)
Press + to insert a note
Press - to delete a note
The Dur command has a wider range of note durations and starts from zero (zero is one)
The loop points where glitchy. Now they work smoothly.

There are some issues with the scrolling, so once fixed can focus on the saving and loading. How many song files do you want tobe able to save? 3 is enough I guess

New:
+Drums (the notes turn into drums after the 7th octave)
-Weird scrolling glitch
*Some optimization

Planned:
Drums blend with notes
Saving and loading songs
Fixing the arpeggio's
Rearranging keys
-[Del] for note deletion
-[Stat] for note insertion
Tons of optimization (I will save that for later <_<)

Nope since the TI can't generate fast enough pwm for that so It won't be able to blend sounds either. You have the option to save your song when quitting the program. It loads the last saved file automatically at startup.

I'm not sure that's entirely true. I suspect you could do it with very, very careful counting of instruction timings, but you'd end up with virtually unmaintainable code.

TRAXE manual/Ignoreme

Use a 83+ I/O linkcable and some jumpwires to connect it to an amplifier or a set of earphones. A converter (2,5mm to 3,5 mm) is also okay or use nokia 2,5 mm headphones.
I am not responsible for any damage done to your calculator. Install this at your own risk.

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY:
-Install TRAXE.8xp using TI connect (T1.8xv is a demo song)
-Run the software using the ASM( command
-Plug in your earphones/whatever you use to produce sound
-Mess around with the butons (as described below)
-Press clear to stop using TRAXE
-Wanna save? you only have one savefile this will automatically load the next time you use TrAXE

Buttons and navigation:

[^] Move up
[V] Move down
[<] [>] Scroll trough commands
[2nd] [Mode] Decrease/Increase octave/parameter
[ +] Insert note at cursor position
[ -] Delete note at curor position
[F1] Press to hear the note at cursor position
[F2] play song from cursor position (loop)
[F3] stop playback
[F4] [F5] Decrease/increase song length

Commands list:
Dur x = Duration of each note
Arp x = Arpeggio (x has no purpose yet) Rapidly alternates the next two notes
<*> x = Loop point (See loop points for further explanation)
Res x = Rest X durations
C-0/B-7 = Notes
C-8 -> KICK = notes become drums after the 7th octave (See drums for further explanation)

Loop points:
You are smart enough to find out what loop points do. Just have a look at these two samples:
Code: [Select]
<*> 3
C - 2
C - 3
G - 2
G - 3
<*> 0
A # 3
A # 2
These commands will play a sequence of 4 notes for 4 times and then  2 notes.
Code: [Select]
<*> 1
C - 2
C - 3
G - 2
G - 3
<*> 3
A # 3
A # 2
<*> 0
These commands will play a sequence of 4 notes for 2 times and then it plays a sequence of 2 notes 4 times.

Loop points loop!

Drums:
When the octave is 8 or higher the notes turn into drums.
C- Kick (fills one note duration)
C# Snare (fills one note duration)
D- Hat cls (Adds to one note duration. Play in front of a note or a rest or whatever)
D# Hat opn (Same)

Additional features:
Live transpose:
Transpose the song while playing with these keys:

"Patterns" is a new feature which I'm now implementing. Also a GUI and maybe the posibility to tune the calculator. Different models produce different frequencies. Also the battery level derermines how fast the linkport alternates states.

I got this D/A converter. I wonder if I can use it to create more complex waveforms. I would be fun to use the calculator as some sort of digital sequencer. The D/A converter then converts its signal into cool waveforms and some analog effects such as low/high-pass filters.

I've decided that this program is from now on ment for live operation. Therefore the following has been added to the latest release: Live transpose. You can transpose a song while playing by tapping the corresponding keys on the keyboard:
 
[on] [sto]     [log][x2] [x-1]
  C#   D#        F#   G#   A#

 C    D    E    F    G     A     B     C
[ 0]  [1] [4]  [7]  [,] [sin][apps][x,t,o,n]


I planned these features:
Sync two calcs using the linkport.
Tune calcs manually (You will have to tune all 24 notes in the lookup-table since it's the most accurate way to do it)
Keyboard mode (use the transpose keys as a normal keyboard)
Up to 4 different patterns to edit and access live(number may eventually increase)

I find it very entertaining to use the transpose function with my one hand while playing my yamaha keyboard with my other hand :)
