There is a new "sync" opcode that saves the top-most signal every 256 samples to the new "syncBuffer" output. Additionally, you can enable saving the current fractional row as sync[0], avoiding calculating the beat in the shader, but also calculating the beat correctly when the beat is modulated.
The old "native" compiler bridged version is now started with cmd/sointu-nativetrack,
while the new pure-Go bytecode implemented bytecode interpreter is started with
cmd/sointu-track
Thus, you do not need any of the CMake / cgo stuff to run cmd/sointu-track
send targets are now by ID and Song has "Score" part, which is the notes for it. also, moved the model part separate of the actual gioui dependend stuff.
sorry to my future self about the code bomb; ended up too far and did not find an easy way to rewrite the history to make the steps smaller, so in the end, just squashed everything.
the send asm code is quite ugly atm (pushf & popf to save stereo flag), but the new regression test should ensure we don't break it again if we eventually refactor it
assume songs code it as 1 always; implementations are free to change this during compilation, but this should be a compile time flag / optimization; not a concern of song.
The global pattern table is constructed only during compilation. At this point, we can do also all sorts of optimizations / changes e.g. remove unnecessary releases and reuse patterns if there's a pattern already that could be used.
gopher had fixed this, but we foolishly removed it. reintroducing fix, although this could be optional only for those who really care. ultimate size optimizers could still want to get rid of it.
The working principle is similar as before with x86, but instead of outputting .asm, it outputs .wat. This can be compiled into .wasm by using the wat2wasm assembler.
