Icons I made a while ago, Looks a bit fucky since I just downscaled it and made a few edits.

Figured i'd write this since Pixel's 2 other formats are on this site already (OrgMaker and pxtone)

Features ig?:
3 Polyphonic Channels with only around 2 Octaves and no sustained notes and 1 Percussion channel.

You draw the Waveform and Volume Envelope instead of selecting sounds in Organya or pxtone

Issues that are worth mentioning:

Timing is very inconsistent depending on what you play it on since PiyoPiyo is dependant on framerate.

(Taken from the Ikachan Page on cavestory.org: PiyoPiyo and Ikachan actually have inaccurate and slow pmd playback, whilst PiyoPiyoPlayer has accurate playback.)

PiyoPiyo runs in fullscreen but can be ran in windowed mode with dxwnd, There's slight issues if you alt tab though since you can move to the right with the mouse and it'll still do that even if tabbed out.

For playback that is the same speed as the editor (afaik atleast) there's piyoplay by alula (has popping issues but it's fine other than that): https://github.com/alula/piyoplay/releases/tag/1.0.0

For exporting audio you can use Audacity if you really want to or PiyoExport by Strultz (Mirrored since Discord links expire) Here

standard should be 20ms i think, seems similar to piyopiyo editor

Quoted from the Discord message:

ikachan -> 20 ms (default)
ikachan (old vers.) -> 16.666 ms (or something like that)
piyopiyo editor -> who knows
piyopiyo player -> 1 ms

Will end this off with a link to PiyoPiyo, PiyoPiyoJ is also linked here too: https://www.cavestory.org/pixels-works/piyopiyo.php

Another editor that isn't mentioned on the PiyoPiyo page (has slightly inaccurate audio but it's also fine other than that): https://raadshaikh.github.io/music/piyopiyo-js/piyopiyo-index.html

booooo

hooray!!!!

You guys have to let Strultz finish the sentence before hæiting. For all you know, Strultz's opinion of Piyo² was just too booooooooooodacious to fit into a single post.

nloss

there was recently a 1.5-day compo for piyopiyo by the pxtunes community, 7 songs were made that do in fact showcase this possible format: https://pxtunes.bandcamp.com/album/april-fools-piyocompo

i haven't tried it yet myself, but if i understand right, this thing is pretty jank! but doesn't that make it ripe for a botb format... hm. it certainly does, but we did just add orgmaker. i'm not sure, yet - if there is further impetus or interest (let's hear it!) it seems like it could work

added a link to piyopiyo-js and piyoplay, kinda makes things more accessible i think
