ACADEMIC & ALGORITHMIC REFERENCERESEARCH & LEARNING VAULT // WebAudio DSP & 8-Bit Chiptune Tracker
Band-limited oscillator synthesis, pulse width modulation, and hardware soundchips.
// HISTORICAL ORIGINS
Emulates the iconic sound chips of the 1980s: Nintendo NES 2A03, Commodore 64 SID 6581, and Game Boy Sharp LR35902.
// GOVERNING EQUATIONS
s(t) = \text{sign}(\sin(2\pi f t)) \quad \text{or} \quad 2(t f - \lfloor t f + 0.5 \rfloor)// BROWSER IMPLEMENTATION
Constructs 16-step polyphonic sequences utilizing native WebAudio API OscillatorNode waveforms, BiquadFilter envelope sweeps, and linear decay curves.
