I really dig this project. Thank you, and well done.

Here's a little something I made back in 2021. Was about to add a few notes to make the ending "complete", but it seems I've lost the source files 馃槬 Anyway:

Ahhh, this is so cool! Thank you for sharing this! Sorry to hear you've lost the source :(. I have this one mini track I made during a jam one time & the next day I accidentally saved over the source & I never could recreate it to finish the track out >.<

I really enjoy this track, too! It sounds like you tapped into a lot of the different things you can do in Pebble, too. I've honestly only heard a handful of Pebble tracks that weren't made by me, so this is a real delight to hear!

Thanks man, appreciate the love 馃

Personally, I've found that, making digital music can be tricky. Not on the composition side, or even the mixing (I hate it, luckily Pebble doesn't require much, if any.) For me, the problem is custom VSTs/FX. There are a few songs I made using a whole bunch of VST instruments. Then, as things generally go, my hard drive started dying. Backed up, format, reinstall, etc. After all that, I want to edit, only to find I have to source the VSTs again, then direct the DAW (LMMS) to their paths, and direct it to any saved presets. Obviously, some presets are "unfindable". 馃う Headaches for days!

As for overwriting, I've learnt the hard way, and now every save I make is always appended with a '-n' where n is a number, incremented by 1 each save. I don't even care of I've done nothing to it. If I'm saving, the name is unique. Doesn't matter if I have to sift through dozens of saves to find an older version I'm looking for. It's better than it being reverted to a thought in my head.

Anyway... I felt (did feel?) that there was so much I DIDN'T tap into with Pebble, although I did try to. This was the first song I made when I found Pebble though, so I was also getting used to the syntax and general concepts.

But really, from someone who also devs, but has never released anything  noteworthy, or at all 馃槄,  and has never worked with audio/sound development, Pebble seems like a huge feat. So, from where I stand, I bow down to you and give a hearty "Well F***ing Done!" 馃檱


P.S.

Apologies e'er'body for the short essay 馃檹
