Info — about bytebeat

				
				

					Bytebeat music (or one-liner music) was invented in September 2011.
					They're generally a piece of rhythmic and somewhat melodic music with no score, no instruments, and no real oscillators.
					It's simply a single-line formula that defines a waveform as a function of time, processed (usually) 8000 times per second, resulting in an audible waveform with a 256-step resolution from silence (0) to full amplitude (256).
					If you put that formula into a program with a loop that increments time variable (t), you can generate the headerless unsigned 8 bit mono 8kHz audio stream on output, like in this application.
					Since these directly output a waveform, they have great performance in compiled languages and can often be ran on even the weakest embedded devices.

					History of bytebeat

					This website is a live editing bytebeats player. It has a collection of bytebeat music I found on the internet, and also the music I created.

					You can choose between bytebeat, signed bytebeat and floatbeat formats.

					

					Bytebeat: expects output is an unsigned 8bit value (0 to 255).

					Signed bytebeat: assumes output is a signed 8bit value (-128 to 127).

					Floatbeat: assumes output is -1.0 to 1.0.

					Funcbeat: statement based mode. A Mode By SArpnt.

					Bitbeat: expects output is an only-used LSB (0 to 1)

					Tanmode: a mode made by psub (zopium)

					Loghack: Exotic Mode

					Loghack2: Another Exotic Mode

					Inverted bytebeat: a mode made by Gigorthub & Modified By KOIII7337 (Me!)

					

					This website is the fork of 8-bit Generative Composer by @paul_hayes.

					Forked by SthephanShi aka Viraya.

					

					Custom Functions By Chasyxx Include: 
    
						
  • bitC: (X,Y,Z) => X&Y?Z:0
    • 
						
  • br: (T,SIZE) => Bit reverses SIZE bits of T, discards the other bits
    • 
						
  • sinf, cosf, tanf: (X) => sin, cos, tan but inputting t will output the same freqency as t by itself. AKA the function loops around every 256 "steps" instead of every 2pi steps
    • 
						
  • regG: (T,regEx) => takes a string of T's bits, and tests against regEx for a match. Outputs a boolean.
    • 
					

					Other Functions Include: 
    
						
  • crpt: (X,Y=8,Z) => Corrupts The Sound.
    • 
						
  • decrpt: (X,Y=8,Z) => Decorrupts The Sound.
    • 
					

					These Were Somehow Scrapped Functions But Somehow I Brought These Back.

					Functions From ThisBeat2.1 Include: 
    
						
  • saw: (X) => Generates A Sawtooth Wave.
    • 
						
  • sq: (X) => Generates A Square Wave.
    • 
						
  • tri: (X) => Generates A Triangle Wave.
    • 
					

					Note from Chasyxx (modified by BSquareII):

					Using any of these functions makes your code exotic, meaning that it won't be added to the dollchan.net library.

					They're just a novelty, so please use them at your own risk.
