What is bytebeat?

Bytebeat

For the language explanation, C++ versus JavaScript semantics, and the complete attributed formula collection, see Bytebeat expressions.

Usage

Bytebeat code can be edited when pressing the small “window” button on the process.

Each line of code can be treated independently.

This process compiles native C++ expressions, not JavaScript. It requires the C++ JIT runtime; SDK header availability controls access to mathematical functions. Code is unsandboxed: save your document, use trusted formulas and start playback at a low audio level.

Examples

  • A simple yet efficient tune: 
    (((t<<1)^((t<<1)+(t>>7)&t>>12))|t>>(4-(1^7&(t>>19)))|t>>7)

More examples and their original source attribution are in the historical formula collection. Some require adaptation before use in score.
