RHODE CDs and other old stock available tomorrow

last update on this: these will be live at https://halleylabs.com/merch at 6PM EST tomorrow. 

like the last shirts that went up, those will be direct from the artist and i'll post the link once they're live.

i'm not able to change shipping addresses or combine orders so make sure all of your paypal and bandcamp info and whatever else is up to date. you can use the "add to cart" function on bandcamp if you pl...

"GREAT WALL" plugin available to patrons

my "great wall" harsh noise wall synth plugin is now available for patrons to play around with. every knob on this does a lot of things, so play around and see what happens.  it will generate sound as long as there is a MIDI input note. you can hold a key then flick the "lock" switch at the top left to keep the key held.

the three holes around the "GENER8" knob are modulation outputs, and the holes beside "DEPTH", "MUTATE", and "WAIL" are inputs. click and drag between an output an...

moving update

hey all; my new place is secured and i'll be moving in july. the next couple months will be pretty all over the place between packing everything up, getting set up in the new place, and shipping orders, so there'll probably be a little less actual output until i get settled. i'll try to keep at it in the mean time but energy levels are going to be a little bit lower until i'm sorted.

cheers and thanks for everything.

mario paint tape loop jam

mario paint tape loop session from last night, HD is still processing but here's the link regardless.

rhode strixman CDs (and more) available may 28th

hey there - just wanted to say that the RS CDs will be available may 28th, along with some spare copies of halcyondaze and absolute artifact. i'll be hopefully printing more copies of halcyondaze some time this year, but in the mean time i'm getting this stuff sold off to help fund my upcoming move.

not quite sure on the time they'll go live yet, but likely the usually afternoon-evening.

please stay tuned for more things, i have some music on the way that you will enjoy, i think.<...

CD updates and moving plans

hey all, hope you're well

been working a bunch of stuff the last couple weeks and will have much to show for it soon, i think. here's a quick thing in the mean time.

i've placed an order for 200 copies of the RHODE STRIXMAN disc. it and a shirt will be available hopefully later this month. please stay tuned for info. disc will be priced at $15+ship, shirt at $30+ship (direct from artist's shop, will go live with CD).

in the midst of all this, i've decided to start looking fo...

update and things

hello! i mentioned this on twitter and in the discord but totally failed to here as it's been a busy couple days around the house for me.

i'll be taking a couple weeks or so to be a little less online as i'm currently trialing some ADHD medication, finally. i'll be working on things more or less like normal, just gonna hunker down and focus on that and socializing while i take care of myself and adjust to the change. i'm hopeful for improvement, the past few months have been especially ...

GAMEDAY 95 (Reelism 2 RMX)

Reelism 2 v1.0 is dropping tomorrow and i was happy to do a (rather funny) track for a new game mode. i can finally share the complete version of the track here, along with the IT file (play/view in OpenMPT) used ingame. i wanted to get a lot of mileage and fidelity out of a sub-megabyte file and feel like i met that goal!

you can check out reelism at https://reelism.dog/ - but wait until tomorrow for version 1.0! you need a r...

"noise loops" sample pack updated

what it says on the tin - 56 new loops have been added. you can nab it at https://heckscaper.com/resources/ or directly at https://www.mediafire.com/file/99grfxrr1nf0axd/

trilotracker scribbles

i'm not sure i ever made decent recordings of the scribbles i did while working out TriloTracker on the msx. i was recording some SCC waveforms from it tonight and figured i might as well do that now. just a bunch of little doots.

"RFaudio" effect plugin

a quick one - just wanted something to act as a bit of a caricature of the NES' RF audio fidelity. it's a bit crunchy, has very low bandwidth, and has hum/buzz interference options built on what i learned making the "mains" plugin.

[not an april fools joke, just a thing i wanted]

"computer cowbell CT-0W0" plugin patreon build

too busy today to write much about this here but i wanted to design an 808 cowbell synth that i could "circuitbend" into all kinds of musical uses. downloads are attached. 64bit vst3 and 64bit au only. for more info on why see https://heckscaper.com/plugins/

the image above is the "manual" for now. there's not much to it, i have confidence you can figure it out.

"shadow of the sun" for time tripper

final (i think) version of the music for the last map in the second episode.

i cheated a little bit on the file size for this one - it's just over 1000kb, but also includes the music for the previous map in the same file. i was shooting for ~500kb each, so it works out and lets me share some particularly big samples between the two tracks.

physical mockup: RHODE STRIXMAN - psalms (mute)

i have not made any Physical Things in a while and feel like i want to soon... so here is a mockup of a thing i want to do some time... there's no timeframe for it but i thought i should let you know it's something i'd like to get done.

[album] OOPARTs - ura.

these tracks are nothing new to patrons, but they've all been sitting in a folder for this EP for a year now. i'm not quite sure how to wrap it up, so i'm releasing it as-is so i can move on from it. download is name your price so just enter 0 on bandcamp to grab in whatever format you want.

"deLEtR" and "meat zone" plugins now public

what it says on the tin - these plugins are now available to the general public. you can get the final versions at https://heckscaper.com/plugins/ - though they don't differ much (or at all?) from the current patreon versions as no issues have been reported.

thanks again for the ongoing support and affording me the ability to offer these kinds of things to everybody.

"no more forever" updated WIP

update to this one, still working on it in between other projects! https://www.patreon.com/posts/no-more-forever-61366172

time tripper (and life, i guess?) update

hey all, just a quick update. work has wrapped on the biggest map of the set, which is very exciting. it was a solid month of work with several hours put in every day, but i think it's been worth it. it will certainly be a bit divisive, as it is big and cryptic.

the entire project has seen numerous rebalances, graphic updates, and so on over the past couple months. it's like an entirely different thing at this point and i'm very happy with the form it's taken.

there are two more m...
