 Been working on a lot of QoL improvements for STEPPER, which will ship on the next version (1.3). Notes can now be transposed by octaves and all the notes in a channel can be adjusted at the same time if the cursor is on the channel select view. There are also per-channel global parameters, which when modified it copy these values to all the trigs. Also it was feeling a bit boring so the current playing tonal notes will now show on the piano when not on channel or trig select mode. Added a bunch of new benchmarks for my bitmap gba-renderers (text rendering, growing rectangles, moving sprites, rotating line drawing) and improved profiling macros that I can toggle on/off. I can also interact with some of these to allow me to better understand how many cycles something cost. I should also mention that if you are using uxngba, you may want to update to the latest version of the repo, a lot of the performance improvements of these renderers have been ported to it, massively increasing the performance, plus a few minor bugs were squashed. :uxn: so, say that I wanted to use the output of a gb/gba link cable to send a CV clock signal. I believe the GB link cable can output +5V and the GBA 3.5V? Would this be enough for a clock signal to be interpreted correctly? @bd if you actually want to use it in eurorack modular, the signal could be boosted before usage. Not all clocks are the same tho. Done modules want square waves, some short triggers and the rine resolutions vary, too. Bringing some of the new GBA renderer optimizations to uxngba :uxn: I'm specially happy with the new way I'm doing blending modes, removing per-nibble for loops in favor of some bit wrangling wizardry. 2.9x speedup for 2bpp sprites (chr) and 2.55x for 1bpp (icn). Still have some unmerged changes with an updated uxn core, since I have that on a separate branch where I was doing oquonie work, but will be there soon. Here is Oquonie running on the GBA with a modified version of uxngba. Running quite slow, but I'm pretty sure I could do some optimizations to make it go a bit faster. Just updated my /now page with updates since the beginning of the year: I've also added dedicated links for a support and contact pages. The support page contain links to ways of helping me being fully independent while working on the things I love: https://badd10de.dev/support.html The contact page aggregates several links for social media and contact information: We adopted a bonded pair of sisters in 2020 and that was one of the highlights of the year. It's like a constantly running sitcom. Introducing STEPPER, a 16-bit sequencer for the GBA. Available now on itch: Source code:

Inspired by yesterday's @pangrus post. Anyone want to attempt #noisevember / #novembeat this upcoming month? For merveilles folk, I've set up some rules for myself in the forum: https://forum.merveilles.town/thread/61/novembeat%2fnoisevember/  12
