Beta V1_0_1
Chiptune Dance Music Generator
A single-file chiptune engine. Seven lanes of pulse, triangle, and noise voices fire off a shared beat grid and draw as a scrolling piano roll. Companion to OMS Dojo and Sozo.
WHAT THIS IS
Chippy generates fun chiptune loops in the browser — no DAW, no files, no dependencies. V0 plays one embedded hardcoded loop across seven lanes: drums, percussion, bass, lead, synth, accents, fills. Press generate to re-roll the pattern with playback transforms — transpose, swing, and per-voice re-seeding — over the same groove.
The synthesis is pure Web Audio: variable-duty pulse waves (via PeriodicWave), a triangle bass, and a real LFSR-style noise channel from a buffer source. Each lane is an independent voice with its own oscillator type and short snappy envelope — the timbre is what makes it chiptune, not the voice count.
INSPIRATION
Apple Music — and the Apple Music Understanding (AMU) framework
Fatboy Slim — big-beat energy, playful sample-driven dance music
Smile — Ableton Live device
