So it might be better to cut my losses early and just say that xm support was experimental and won't be guaranteed in future. xm files embedded in the wild, and some of them are used for playing large one-off samples. xm format that I've missed, and some bigger things like multi-sample instruments. xm support is just that Voxatron's support surface is getting too big! There are a lot of quirks and details of the. I'm still experimenting with music and watching what kind of tunes PICO-8 users are coming up with using filtered sfx instruments.Īnother thing pushing back against. As an exploratory project I've managed to reproduce almost all of the internal sound effects, and it gives the audio a nice consistent feeling. There's also the possibility that the new PICO-8 sfx filters will make it flexible enough to generate everything needed for Voxatron. If xm files were used widely in Voxatron carts, I imagine it would produce a lot of very large cartridge file sizes, which would be a shame considering every other aspect of the data is designed to be small. xm files, but would likely have a tight limit on instrument sample sizes - the new tracker would normally be used with instruments that are synthesized in realtime so that their parameters can be modified. I'm still experimenting with a tracker that would be able to import. xm import, and internal sounds and instruments that are synthesized during runtime), and I'm hoping to unify them under one (or maybe two) systems.Ī general rule now is that every aspect of Voxatron carts should be editable via built-in tools. Hi sorry to say that audio features are up in the air at the moment: there are currently 3 ways to generate sound (PICO-8 SFX.
