- 4k Windows vestige by erpholia
- My favorite entry in the 4k compo, and I second everything that rp and noby said. Thanks for sharing the code, that'll keep me busy studying it for a while. A small write-up about the starting point and "steering" process would be fantastic -- I was expecting to see a lot of parameter tables, and also my guesses about the synthesis methods involved except for the granular stuff seem to be completely wrong. This is the kind of magic demoscene fascination that stays strong after all those years and changes of platforms.

- Added this mainly in order to link to this video which shows a recording in DOSBox on macOS, where the sound is a little bit different from how it sounded during the compo. Honestly not sure why exactly this is the case, perhaps it was running on an actual MIDI device during the compo? In any case, the device apparently did not respond to the reverb MIDI commands which were supposed to turn it up to the max, and also a lot of note stealing was happening in some parts, making them sound thin or incoherent.
Please don't read this as a criticism of the orga team or anything! This is my first 256b, and I'm very happy I got to compete in the compo at all. I learnt a lot and had a lot of fun making it and also got a lot of super useful feedback from the fantastic people at the party (plus the feeling that it could probably be crunched a lot in size still ;-)
