SynthNes Version 2.0!

SynthNes - An NES Synthesizer
A downloadable NES instrument

Hello and thank you to everyone who has downloaded SynthNes to date!  An update has been published that provides new creative and usability features.

Arpeggiator

Each channel now has a 64-step arpeggiator!  The arpeggiator can be used to create the classic 8-bit "chord" sound or to sequence loops up to 64 steps.  Other arpeggiator features include:

  • Independent tempo, step division, step duration, and pattern length controls per channel
  • Multiple arpeggio modes (Up, Down, Up/Down, Alternating, etc...)
  • Resizable/zoomable step sequencer
  • Multi-select with copy and paste for quick editing (sorry, no undo!)
  • Snap to scale for editing step pitches
  • Pattern saving and loading

Delay

Pulse Channel 2 can now act as a delay module for Pulse Channel 1.  Interesting effects can be created by enabling delay and changing the amp or modulating the pitch of Pulse Channel 2.

MIDI Device Selection

Individual MIDI device can now be turned on or off individually.
