10 years ago I began working on Muki, a web-based MIDI and chiptune player which I eventually announced here on HN[0]. It was a fun weekend project.

Over the years I received numerous requests from people that wanted more: more music, more features, more playable formats, you name it.

Eventually I began working on a complete rewrite of the app (this time for real), and, realizing that each year another chiptune or MIDI website went offline, I decided to start archiving them for preservation.

Today, 10 years after the first release, I think it's finally time for the new, nicer version to hit the shelves. It's now called Pixeltune and yes, now you can actually turn down the volume. :)

Hope you like it!

Curious, but it didn’t make any sound on my iPhone in safari.

I still haven't tested the player on mobiles thoroughly. Do you at least see the oscilloscope running?

Yes! I thought at first I had audio routed to a Bluetooth device, but that wasn’t it. Oh well. I’ll have to take a look on my laptop, though.

[update] fun stuff!
