CS-16: a 16 track synthesizer/sampler

Hello, everyone! I released CS-16 last year in July (man, time flies!) but I never made a forum post. So, here we are!

CS-16 is a simple 16 track synthesizer. It has an up to 128 step sequencer (but this may change :playdate_wink:), a sampler, sample editor, and has many customization options.

Here's the introduction video, and a couple screenshots:

And once again, it's free and open source on GitHub. Have fun! :grin:

Hello, again!! I'm very excited to announce CS-16 version 2.0!

In this update, I added the fourth and (probably) final screen to CS-16: FX! Here you can add effects to the master audio channel. Currently there are four effects: TAPE (low pass + high pass), BTC (bitcrush), WTR (low pass), and OVD (overdrive).

I also added external visualizer support, custom track names, and fixed a lot (and I mean A LOT) of bugs.

Download the latest version here!! Hope you like it :playdate_proud:

I love the font! Did you make it yourself?

Nope, it's the Tron font from this repository, modified to add punctuation and the like :slight_smile:

I just released version 2.0.2! Just a bunch of tiny fixes and improvements, nothing major :playdate_proud:

[added] folder precedence over songs / files in file explorer setting
[fixed] settings screen 50fps warning
[fixed] ramona custom visualizer in light mode
[moved] .wav file save setting is now in sampling/

I just released a small bugfix update (version 2.0.3)! Please check it out if you have any issues with the list views in CS-16.

(Sidenote: SDK 2.6.0 introduced this bug, even though it was lurking in my own code probably since the beginning of its development :laughing:)
