Back from my day job business trip with a few orders to fulfill! But as teased, here's a video showing off TurboWave and TurboTracker using several PCM samples (and a few wavetables)

DIY reflow oven is up and running which finally allowed me to test a Pimoroni Pico 2. This has PSRAM which can be used for sample store for the TurboWave. And...it works!

Been a little distracted with this for a few days but I finally got wave drawing working in TurboTracker! It's really fun!

Not a great song, but a short demo showing that the TurboWave and TurboTracker both now support samples in addition to wavetables and noise!

The #OtterX is quickly becoming my favorite retro PC! It has some amazing titles, most of which are free! #CommanderX16 #Commodore64 #retro
Checkout some of these great titles in my video here:

It's not very pretty but the 2nd revision TurboWave X1688 card design seems to work! I don't yet have my reflow oven so used a hot air station and the SMD parts were quite sketch. But it works! And with a 24MHz crystal (so UART runs at 1.5mbit)

So I was going to wait a few weeks..but I couldn't wait to do a video on this amazing product! #CommanderX16 #OtterX #commodore #C64
The OtterX is an amazing little platform that you just gotta check out:

2nd revision of the TurboWave X1688 PCBs have arrived! Stencil and parts also arrived. Now I just need a toaster oven...

I didn't make a video of it this time, but I fixed the infinite pattern scroll for TurboTracker (and some other bugs). Scroll was ported from DreamTracker but the pattern format is quite different so it took some fiddling around.

Video and audio capture from my real #CommanderX16 with my #TurboWaveX1688 8-bit wavetable card using #TurboTracker. First almost respectable demosong using hard drawn waves, volume envelopes and noise.
Working on the Wave editor for TurboTracker. It's now MVP! Meaning there's more to do but it works enough to use. Instruments are next!

Took a break from programming to make a 2nd PCB revision for TurboWave X1688. My ability to attach image is still busted :/ but big change is that it's mostly through hole. The few SMD-only components I'm looking at assembling myself.

I made some pretty great progress made today on #TurboWave and #TurboTracker! Added functions to transfer wave data back and forth (and mess with it in the UI). Still LOTS to do, but that was a big step!

Testing out a 4 effect per row/chan pattern format for TurboTracker and thought I'd share a quick short jingle as the last post of 2025. Here's hoping for better things in 2026!

Another quick update to TurboTracker/TurboWave and then it's back to working on WaveBoy for a bit.
Showing off being able to swap between wave frames including saw, sine, tri, and buzzy noise, PW (1/8,1/4,1/2).

Here's the very start of the TurboTracker fork making noise on the real TurboWave card! This is minimum-viable. Many features still need to be implemented. So far so good though!
#CommanderX16 #TurboTracker #TurboWave #Chiptune #Wavetable
Look what arrived! 1st prototype for the TurboWave X1688!
Being the first prototype I don't have high expectations. Even if it doesn't work, I still made great progress on WaveBoy today. Here's hoping at least parts of this card work though!
