A bytebeat glitch machine you play

Pure algorithmic grit: 8-bit audio synthesised straight from one integer formula of a running counter. Switch formulas, bend the rate, and mutate the constant live from your keyboard.

Sound is loud, harsh and aliased on purpose. It starts playing itself — press keys any time to take over.
