🎛️ ByteBeats:// — 8-bit Audio Signal Generator
bytebeat:// is an interactive online synthesizer and a minimalist sound experimentation studio. Directly from your browser, generate retro chiptune melodies, techno rhythms, and complex glitch sounds using just a single line of mathematical code.
🚀 Key Features
- Live Algorithmic Audio Synthesis: Input JavaScript/bitwise formulas to generate sound in real time.
- Reactive Visuals (CRT Style): Toggle seamlessly with a single click between the oscilloscope (Waveform) and frequency analyzer (Spectrum).
- Advanced Audio Controls:
- Sample rate adjustment (Sample Rate from 100 to 44,100 Hz).
- Playback speed control (Speed from 0.25× to 4×).
- Reverse Mode (flips the playback direction of the time counter $t$).
- Random Code Generator (🎲 Random Code): Instantly generates brand-new, audible mathematical formulas on the fly.
- Audio Recording (● Rec): Capture your live creations and download them instantly as audio files (
.webm,.ogg,.m4a). - My Saves: Store your custom formulas locally right in your browser's LocalStorage.
- Smart Volume Warning: Visual and audio safety prompts for high-volume or heavily saturated presets.
🎵 Built-in Presets
The generator features a huge catalog of 48+ built-in presets—including bytebeat classics, the salewin.exe series, hyperwin, chaos, and many more—alongside two interactive generators:
- Custom Melody: Create custom musical sequences based on a string of 16 digits.
- 🎛️ Custom Overdrive: A visual formula builder featuring 7 tweakable parameters ($A, B, C, D, E, F, G$) to craft heavily saturated, complex sounds.
- ...and tons of other wild presets to discover!
🛠️ Cool Formulas to Try
| Preset | Math Formula | Sound Style |
| Classic | (t*(t>>8|t>>9)&46&t>>8)^(t>>4) | Evolving chiptune melody |
| Viznut | t*(t>>5|t>>8) | The original Bytebeat pattern |
| Sirène | t*((t>>12|t>>8)&63&t>>4) | Retro alarm / siren sound |
| Salewin.exe 1 | t*(((t>>9)^((t>>9)-1)^1)%13) | Chaotic 8-bit glitch pattern |
| Hyperwin 1 | ((t*3&t>>5)|(t*5&t>>8))+(t%256) | Dynamic binary beat |
