 Toemialuekohtane rumputtaja / domain specific beatmaker
--------------------------------------------------------

Beats for the Friday evening! Via the domain of demoscene intro sound
synthesis to the realm of Savo. Implemented in Forth, the language of
languages. It should be rather close to standard Forth; works with at
least gforth on WSL2 Ubuntu. Some environmental dependencies are there
with floats & bytes.

This takes a large chunk of memory from the dictionary, so launch like
that:

    gforth --dictionary-size 1G rumputtaja.fth

Then command in Forth " demo write " and you will get output.wav in
your working directory. Warning: earlier contents of output.wav will
be overwritten! You can listen to the WAV using your favorite player.

Sliced and packaged for the Summamutikka compo of Instanssi 2024.
Another part of my bigger forthcoming (pun, hehe) production along
with graphics, obfuscator/minifier, and minimal Forth engine on x86-64
Linux. Not there yet, but here's a second preview as promised last
year.

Accompanied by a live presentation in Finnish and/or Savo. Stream
recording likely available in archives. Look for the "Summamutikka"
compo of Instanssi 2024.
