bliptracker v1.0b

DS homebrew developer Dan has just announced an update for bliptracker, which now stands at version 1.0b. For the readers wondering what this application does, bliptracker is an NDS-based “drum machine, synth and sequencer, intended for live performance,” according to the readme. Here’s a rundown on version 1.0’s improvements:

• v1.0b (public release)
• mild chorus effect on theramin
• new sample set + some demo songs
• fixes in file save dialog
• licensed under GPL, source available by request
• v1.0a
• expanded banks to six samples
• separate sample bank selection for sequencer and drum pad (check menus)
• better use of ds sound channels (theramin is a bit simpler)
• subtle panning on some instruments
• store more stuff in saved files
• internal cleanups (less use of stack)

For the moment, bliptracker v1.0b has only been tested on the R4DS. Full installation and usage details should be available in the readme file – make sure to back up your flash card before doing anything else. Enjoy the download!
