Just a random "accident" while overhauling Xequence's forever-unfinished internal audio engine and adding a few FX and stuff. It's more of a tech demo really than music, but anyway, enjoy if you can! 😄
Here's a live mixer view if you're into that kind of thing:
It's only my second foray into this subgenre so please bear with me while I'm seeing myself out 😂
Cheers!

I like it! Keep diving into this, you do it well!
/DMfan🇸🇪
Thanks! Whenever I have time and energy, which used to be the case more often the younger I was 😂
Only second foray and creates a dope af track is all I’ve read in this.
Teasing aside, well done! Any mastering done on the track or is this straight from Xequence?
Haha 😄
Mastering has been done in Trinity! I feel tempted to integrate Trinity into Xequence's audio engine as an FX though... I did end up going back and forth 3 times with the mixdown, mostly adjusting the bassdrum by fractions of a dB, like I always do (I kinda suck at mixing)
The mastering is top notch as well, well done! I mean I listened to this in my iPhone speakers and felt it was mastered more so, so take that for whatever it’s worth! 😅
That would be cool to integrate. Kind of how Dawnbeat has Briiks in the app? But if you want the full standalone you have to purchase it. Could be a nice way to promote your other apps!
Nice flow man!😃
Love that pulsing bassline!
a real banger, very impressive!
Haha yes, I think that might be a good sign. Back when I still made more music, my old car's speakers were my referenced for shitty when mastering 😃
I've kinda lost the motivation to try to make money out of iOS music apps, but it would be a good idea!
I guess that means nice arrangement? Thanks ☺️
Thanks! I felt that's one of the most crucial and hardest parts to get right in this genre. Still room for improvement though!
Cheers, appreciate it!
This is great. Xequence does the job, all right. No one would know this was done on an iPad. It’s our little secret.
Thank you. Note that the audio engine is not in the App Store version, can't say this often enough before people buy it and are disappointed 🥴
(most of this track was done in Chromium on Linux though... my 2017 iPad Pro is a bit long in the tooth and struggles with this production even at 1024 samples buffer size. And I kept fixing bugs and adding little feature bits here and there, which is much handier if you can keep the IDE and debugger open while composing 😄)
I once made a nice living developing in Linux. LAMP, Perl, and C++. At one time stores like Best Buy were considering selling boxes with distros like Red Hat. Bill Gates put a stop to that. When configured properly, most everyday users wouldn’t notice any difference between Windows and Apple. I set up my wife with Linux Mint and she never knew. I think the fact that Apple switched to Unix says a lot. Open source is the way to go, but that will probably never happen.
Cool track. Takes me back to my single clubbing days in Chicago. The music was hot, and the women looked great. I bought Xequence a while ago and will fire it up this weekend.
Yeah, I made most of my living doing web development, mostly ugly stuff like PHP. Only recently (roughly since 2017) have I moved to iOS app development (also using web technologies mostly). Now I'm moving away from that again because you simply can't survive in the most expensive country in the EU with that kind of income 😂 But yeah, Linux is great as a desktop OS. It does help though if you know at least a little bit what you're doing. I've been using Debian Stable for many years now, after a wild phase of distro-hopping. I'll never move to anything else again. My God, apt!!!!!! Packages!!! Stability!!! Efficiency!!!
Yes, I agree. Well, the women haven't changed a lot since then. The music, I wouldn't know, I haven't gone to clubs since I passed 35 🙄
Have fun with Xequence!
Idk how I missed this: but a dev with creations is my kinda guy
this is a really good track man
(7 systems is a good band name too )
Thanks man! Yes maybe actually MAKING music helps with the "big picture" (and the fun!) when designing music software? 🤔
This is really good @SevenSystems well done!
Listening while in the kitchen making some lunch with the GF and my feet started moving! 💃🏻🕺🏽
i like it a lot !!! If all those synths are from build-in synths in xequence then you did pretty god-level job on DSP coding :-)
Thanks, I remember you were into Psy 🙂 full disclosure -- I'm using a graph-based audio library so I'm not doing any low-level DSP stuff. But I do get REALLY creative with abusing the available nodes for all kinds of things (for example, I've implemented a pitch shifter with a bunch of Delay and Oscillator nodes... yes that is possible!)
True to the "graph-based" approach, Xequence's only synth is also graph-based (modular), so 100% flexible for whatever you'd ever want:
I like it because the modules are inherently also the UI, based on whether you're in "Edit mode" or not... (but maybe others do the same...)
That's the goal. Bonus points if the GF started moving as well 😄
Wait, you mean audio graph from JS ??? Now you got my full interest, you mean you run entire audio engine within WKWebView ?? Or i am getting something wrong ??
Yes I'm using standard WebAudio nodes. Yes it can all run in WKWebView but right now I'm just running it in Chrome on Linux
wow .. i wanted to try it few times in past but always thought it is not enough performant so really not useable for more complex apps ..
what is latency on iOS in WKWV ?? It can really run low-latency there ??
Looks like this tech went long way since i tried it last time..
Sound-wise - it sounds really good !
The WKWebView, at least up to iOS 16 (I can't install a newer iOS on any of my devices), will inherit whatever the current system audio buffer size is, or if no audio apps are running yet, I think it'll default to 128 frames. On "proper" systems / browsers (Chrome on Linux), the latency (buffer size) is selectable via .latencyHint when initializing the WebAudio context.
WebAudio is really quite incredibly performant. Those folks did an outstanding job. In the above production, the average node count is around 1200, with dozens of nodes constantly getting added and removed from the graph and routing changed (due to dynamic voices allocation in the modular synth). It really is quite remarkable how well it works.
(I've said for a few years now that basically, the only native code that is required anymore in 2024 is the browser itself. Anything else can really be done with web technologies these days... (trust me. I know because I HAVE CREATED pretty much EVERY IMAGINABLE PIECE OF SOFTWARE using web technologies 😂)
really great to hear that .. so now it’s probably time for me to deep dive into this stuff, JS itself is my second native language anywyy lol, I was just waiting for confirmation it is worth to look at audio graph for years, thanks !
Definitely do look! Maybe we should team up and blow up the browser-based DAW market 😂 I mean the only thing missing is audio tracks. Sound familiar to you I guess 😁
lol yeah, reminds me something a bit :-)))
Hah!
Because you were wondering about sound, here's the uncompressed file for your listening pleasure (I don't think this production is particularly good sound-wise, but YMMV)

Don’t even know what the genre is but it’s exciting stuff.
Interesting conversation about the technology… I’ll have to blow the dust off my COBOL 74 manual 😊
