Question/suggestion: Ability to adjust timbre of chip noise drums #42

Open jhoak opened 2 years ago

jhoak commented 2 years ago

If I understand correctly, it seems when chip noise drums are used, a note doesn't always make the same sound. For example, if I export the same drum track twice, it might have 2 different sounds even if I haven't changed anything. So I'm guessing there's some random() calls there.

Ideally, I'd like to have some more control over the output sound -- not necessarily to make it deterministic, but just the timbre of the output. In my case, I keep getting drums that randomly sound like an 8-bit fart. So I have to keep exporting the same track over and over until the drums sound ok.

Perhaps a seed generator for randomized sounds? (Spectrum, Supersaw, and Noise go under here) Not sure if it'll ever be added into BeepBox though.
