Satellite
A downloadable music thing
Satellite is an experimental music thing for Playdate. It's probably mostly useful for creating backing beats and generating synth sound effects for your own Playdate game. Each project has eight synths, for which you can set waveform, note, attack, decay, sustain, release, bitcrusher amount, volume, length, and interval.

hi - really liking this music thing :). Would be nice to control the bpm but I guess you can kinda do it with the intervals. Thanks for this !
Increasing the levels of volume, bit-crusher etc. looks really tedious. Have you thought of using the crank for that and then have the d-pad for micro adjustments?
The original idea was to use the crank for that, yes, but then I came up with this design and using the crank to select synth was more interesting to me. Using both the crank and d-pad for levels would mean there's nothing left for synth selection, so that's not really an option. I could have done crank for levels and d-pad for synth, but, like I said, this was more interesting to me, and I'm not going to change the entire thing now, even if it would be easier to use. It's an experiment, for better or worse.
Amazing work on this! I’m really getting into synthesis in a big way at the mo and your app plays with it from another perspective.
Wow, awesome music making tool! Love the way it is built around the crank.
Really intriguing so far... I love how much you've jammed into such an eloquently designed package!
Bravo
