to greggman's website! play in 11khz if it isn't already

i really like that chord progression. very impressive! i just wish it was longer, but 1k doesnt leave much room i guess.

it does if you're a wizard

Been listening to this on repeat, such a good song..
I've always wanted to know how those variables with the list of pitches (numbers) worked.
Seems like it creates an actual sequence of notes you can change individually rather than one note or something.

so, messing around with bytebeat you probably noticerd that putting only "t" will generate a sawtooth wave at a fixed frequency.
you might also have noticed that multiplying t with something will change its frequency.

if we want to make a sawtooth that changes notes over time, we will need some kind of time reference. of course we can use t itself, but for me its simpler to divide it with some number, and use a "beat counter" or something.

so based on that, here's some small code:
beat = t/1000,
notes = [4,0,4,4.5,5,5,4,0,5.3,5.3,5,0,4.5,4.5,5.3,0,5,5,4,0,3,3,2.8,0,2.65,2.65,2.65,2.65,2.65,0,2.65,2.8],
t * notes[floor(beat % 32)] % 128

"beat" is the "beat counter" i mentioned above
"notes" is an array representing which number should t be multiplied with at each moment in the song
"t * notes[floor(beat % 32)]" means t multiplied by the number found in the position "floor(beat % 32)" inside the "notes" array. wtf is that position?
"beat % 32" ensures that the value loops from 0 to 31, since the "notes" array has 32 values in it
"floor(beat % 32)" ensures that the number gets rounded down; since you can access the 3rd position of an array, but not the 3.85649084rd (reminder that beat = t/1000 and t/1000 will not necessarily be a whole number)
lastly "% 128" in the end just halves the volume of the saw, but also doubles its pitch (test with t%128), this is useful because we cannot have more than one track if this one track's volume is maximum

this is the base of my track really, all it changes is that i used different instruments other than sawtooth, but the way notes are stored are pretty much that

i hope this explanation is decent enough! i just woke up so some parts may be poorly written, if you have any questions feel free to ask etc

also here's a 44khz render

, because why not

Very nice :)

excellent song, nice code, should have won.

the new generation of botbers are making this our anthem
biautiful

We are winning, sons.

i want to imagine when raphael looks back on his entries and scrolls to this one, and thinks to himself:

"...why the fuck are there so many covers??"

Hi raphael

wow this song is pretty neat, someone should cover it for DD2

Nah.. that'll never happen.

*Posts 3 in two weeks*

botb lore in the making right here

94 covers as of today holy fuck

im sorry lastdragon...

HOW FUCKING MANY????????

oh god voting is actually gonna be so dryyyyyyy eughhhhhhhigvcfujmbg

does that mean almost 15% of the entries on dd2 are 1k dance covers lmao

89 covers total. Goddamn.

lookat all dose COVERS

this is now the ofificial botb tutorial song when u first sign up
