Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

JavaScript to turn an ars-tracker module into an audio buffer

Readme

This is a JavaScript library to "bake" ars-tracker songs into rendered samples, suitable for use as music or sound effects in the Web Audio APIs.

Example usage:

// uncomment if your package management system is anything fancier than
//     <script src="et209.js"></script><script src="baker.js"></script>
//let bakeArsTrackerSong = require("ars-tracker-baker");
let baked = bakeArsTrackerSong(my_module, 0, {"headphones":headphones});
let buffer = audioContext.createBuffer(2, baked.sampleCount, baked.sampleRate);
if(buffer.copyToChannel) {
  buffer.copyToChannel(baked.left, 0);
  buffer.copyToChannel(baked.right, 1);
}
else {
  let leftData = baked.getChannelData(0);
  let rightData = baked.getChannelData(1);
  for(var n = 0; n < baked.sampleCount; ++n) {
    leftData[n] = baked.left[n];
    rightData[n] = baked.right[n];
  }
}
// buffer can now be used with one or more `AudioBufferSourceNode`s

The first parameter to bakeArsTrackerSong is the ars-tracker module itself, after having gone through JSON.parse or otherwise been turned into an object.

The second parameter is the index of the song within the module: 0 for the first song, 1 for the second, and so forth.

The third parameter is an optional object containing options.

Options:

  • loop (boolean, default true): Whether to try to loop the song.
  • loopOverlapTime (seconds, default 2): If looping, the amount of extra time to add to make sure the loop is clean.
  • loopFadeTime (seconds, default 5): If looping, the amount of extra time to add to the end, so it can fade out nicely if you don't use the looping information.
  • startOrder (index, default 0): The order index to start at. When in doubt, leave unset.
  • headphones (boolean, default false): Whether to enable the "headphones filter".

bakeArsTrackerSong returns an object with the following keys:

  • sampleRate: For convenience, this is ET209.SAMPLE_RATE.
  • loopLeft: The sample number of the beginning of the loop.
  • loopRight: The sample number of the end of the loop.
  • sampleCount: The number of samples that were rendered.
  • left: A Float32Array containing sampleCount samples for the left stereo channel.
  • right: A Float32Array containing sampleCount samples for the right stereo channel.

Unsupported things:

  • Actual Waveform sequences. We only use the first element of the Waveform sequence. (tracklib does the same thing.)
  • Pitchbend / arpeggio / slides on the noise channel. (tracklib doesn't support these either.)
  • Proper Pxx (pan) effect handling unless a note on happens at the same time.
  • Vxx (waveform) effect if a note on happens at the same time.
