Re: how to play bytebeat on openbsd?
ah after bumping up the 8 I find it to be more-less the same as with sox!
thank you I think the problem was -c has to be 0:0 :) and also -o came useful
I forgot how to read manual (I was looking for it in manual but I didn't know
what I was looking for)
I can delete sox now and have less program thanks!

You've to compile the bytebeat program, run it and send the result to a
program that will play can play usinged 8-bit mono at 8kHz. aucat(1) can do
this.
Example, create a bytebeat.c file with your one-liner and the proper C
boilerplate:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#include
int main(void)
{
int t;
for (t = 0; t < 8; t++) {
putchar(t*((t>>12|t>>8)&63>>4));
}
return 0;
}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Build it:
cc -Wall bytebeat.c
Play the result:
./a.out | aucat -e u8 -c 0:1 -r 8000 -i -
Or save it a as music.wav so you can futher process it and/or send it to
someone:
./a.out | aucat -e u8 -c 0:0 -r 8000 -i - -n -o music.wav

Re: [answered]Re: how to play bytebeat on openbsd?
that does work, then why doesn't this work?
./a.out | sox -r 8000 -c 1 -t u8 - -d
doesn't work
but if uint8_t is changed to int, it works well..
also in sox sounds sounds different compared to say mpv, cannot decide which
is better because I cannot seek forward in sox's play?
can you make music with sox/play alone? you can make guitar sounds with play,
maybe can also somehow write a whole song only in CLI?
#include
#include
int main (int argc, char **argv) {
uint8_t t = 0;
for (t=0;;t++)
putchar(t*((t>>12|t>>8)&63>>4));
}

I don't think it makes sense to feed speaker(4) with an executable
code.
Haven't seen the code, but based on your description I guess it should
be more like
$ ./a.out | doas tee /dev/speaker
or at least that's my guess, my crystall ball don't always works
correctly.

try piping to sox -r 8000 -c 1 -t u8 - -d for example, this should work as a demo: python3 -c 'import sys; [sys.stdout.write(chr(( t & (t >> 8)) % 256)) for t in range(2**19)]' | sox -r 8000 -c 1 -t u8 - -d On Sat, Feb 3, 2024 at 6:20 AM wrote: > > thank you, stranger! > > I found so many good C formulas, some sound like they could be used within a > game, even has pauses with silence and everything! > > I had to find out how to use sox, though on another site: `sox -r 8000 -c -t > u8 test.raw output.wav` > > what is weird is that I can't get bytebeats if the `t` is int8_t or > something.. doesn't seem like that makes sense, it's like 4 bytes 32-bit, not > 1 byte. > not sure difference between signed 32, 64 and unsigned, but I tried 16-bit `t` > and it's just not it.. am I messing something up? > > does this only mimic bytebeat, and is not true 8-bit technique to get > realistic bytebeat? > > On Fri, February 2, 2024 9:15 pm, Nick Owens wrote: > > back when i used to mess with these, i frequently used `sox` to play the > > 8-bit > > samples. it can do the sample conversion for you to whatever the system > > needs. > > > > > > On Fri, Feb 2, 2024 at 11:08 AM Omar Polo wrote: > > > >> > >> On 2024/02/02 18:41:46 +, beecdadd...@danwin1210.de wrote: > >> > >>> hello > >>> > >>> I've tried for hours to play bytebeat as everyone else > >>> > >>> > >>> I cannot find anything on the entire internet > >>> > >>> > >>> all I got is `cat a.out >> /dev/speaker)` as root.. a.out is compiled > >>> code , a loop and `putchar(t*((t>>12|t>>8)&63>>4));`.. this doesn't > >>> sound nearly the same as it does to other people it's also slow, not fast > >> > >> I don't think it makes sense to feed speaker(4) with an executable code. > >> > >> > >> Haven't seen the code, but based on your description I guess it should > >> be more like > >> > >> $ ./a.out | doas tee /dev/speaker > >> > >> > >> or at least that's my guess, my crystall ball don't always works correctly. > >> > > > > > > >
[answered]Re: how to play bytebeat on openbsd?
thank you, stranger! I found so many good C formulas, some sound like they could be used within a game, even has pauses with silence and everything! I had to find out how to use sox, though on another site: `sox -r 8000 -c -t u8 test.raw output.wav` what is weird is that I can't get bytebeats if the `t` is int8_t or something.. doesn't seem like that makes sense, it's like 4 bytes 32-bit, not 1 byte. not sure difference between signed 32, 64 and unsigned, but I tried 16-bit `t` and it's just not it.. am I messing something up? does this only mimic bytebeat, and is not true 8-bit technique to get realistic bytebeat?

Re: how to play bytebeat on openbsd?
back when i used to mess with these, i frequently used `sox` to play the 8-bit samples. it can do the sample conversion for you to whatever the system needs.
