I am currently developing software for DS, DSi, Android, Symbian, iPhone and BBC Micro systems, these are some of my previous pieces of software.

Pixelh8 Music Tech Master Stroke DS

The Pixelh8 Music Tech Master Stroke DS is a real time synthesizer for the Nintendo DS system it allows for extensive sound design and is the natural evolution of the Music Tech Series allowing for the classic chip tune sound on a modern device.

The new system allows for keyboard style play by pressing “X” to bring up the 2 Ocatve Xylophone or classic Music Tech mode by using the directional pad to control the sounds in the same way as the Music Tech Game Boy and Pro Performer Game Boy Advance.

Loads of new combinations are possible as you can now combine interval settings with time based effects as well as using the noise channel instead of tone and the easy change between menus allow for quick change during performance.

All sounds are produced via the on board sound chip and no samples or sample manipulation is used, this is a real time chip tune synth for the DS.

Top Screen shows options selected at any given time.

Menu 1 controls the Wave Duty, Pan and Volume.

Menu 2 controls Keys and Intervals.

Menu 3 controls time based effects set 1.

Menu 4 controls time based effects set 2.

Menu 5 are some of my favourite sounds, Attack and Release and Credits Screen.

Menu 6 Controls Octave, Whammy Bar, Tone/Noise and 3 sound patches so you can recall them quickly during performance.

The “X” button brings up a simple 2 octave Xylophone to perform the designed sound on. Whats more is that options can be changed during play, in Classic play mode, in Xylophone mode it’s only one menu away.

Pixelh8 Music Tech Pro Performer Synthesizer is software that runs on an unmodified Game Boy Advance or Nintendo DS, enabling you to be able to control the on board sound, turning the GBA/DS into a real time instrument.

Based on the original Game Boy Music Tech V1.0, Pro Performer offers hundreds more options and possible sounds.

The version that is currently available is the Interface Amnesty BETA Edition which was launched as part the Abandon Normal Devices Festival in Liverpool September 26th, 2009. The BETA Version which is 95% of the completed version.

New Versions coming soon as well as special version for performance groups.
