Minifmod is old, mods are old, and it is still used a lot in 64kb intros.
Is there anything better?
There is fr's K2 synth, and ...?

Not since ....

still waiting for a fucking granular synth that i can use for 64k's sound..

just load system wavs and play them at random offsets and pitch. Add distortion and delay+lowpass. Also works well loading the exe itself as a raw waveform.

or just use plain sin waves for the true 60's scifi feeling

or make it real art and do

for (int i=0;i<INTRO_LENGTH*2*44100;i++)
{
sound[i] = rand()%0xFFFF;
}

But seriously, what's wrong with mods? I still think they sound better than most synths if the musician knows what he's doing.

'K2 synth'? not everything they do is kkkkkkKKK :P

Just be good and code your own synth.
Also, Fairlight's music system sounded pretty good and seemed to be small, but that may have been a result of the musicians using it.

...K2 is a brand... my old skates were of that brand. Frabrauch's thingy.

Is Fairlight's music system available?

ask the person that found smash's usb stick :P

Oh... I've heard that story. :(

preacher: nothing wrong with mods, i just want a synth that will do things mods cant. hence the requirement to be granular.

then build one

use mxmplay and be happy ;)

rob: if i had time.. -_-

I guess a xm with some effects (reverb), and some generated samples does the trick. I'm always finding great 64kB that use mods when I think it's a softsynth.

the annoying thing with "improved" modules (like adding filters etc) is that you don't get instant feedback when editing them....

kusma: excuses ;)

our synth isnt publically available because i cant be fucked to support it. :) maybe whoever got my usb stick at asm will be more willing to. heh heh.

"the musicians using it" would be me and smash. funny no one's said that about V2 for instance.

...when I said K2 upthere I meant V2. Just so you know.

we know.
