Taking the work of Jürgen Wothkes' latest SC68 webplayer, and making my obligatory CODEF re-working - I'm happy to show you this...
This JavaScript/HTML5 port of "eupmini" allows to play EUPHONY format songs directly within the browser.
The FM Towns was a Japanese personal computer, built by Fujitsu from February 1989 to the summer of 1997. For audio output it was equipped with an 8-channel Ricoh RF5c68 for PCM sample playback and a Yamaha YM2612 (OPN2) for FM synthesis. (Outside of Japan the same Yamaha chip was better known for its use in Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis video game consoles.)
The EUPHONY music format seems to have been popular on FM Towns - probably due to the freely available "HEat-Oh!" ("High EUP active tool") that used the format. For many Japanese computer enthusiasts this must have been their first opportunity to try their luck at creating computer music themselves.
As always, chip music maestro Jurgen Wothke has converted this to Javascript, and here is my obligatory CODEF version of his player! Enjoy!

I know it's been a while, I started making this about 3 years ago - and then my HDD crashed and I lost it all - luckily I managed to find an old backup - and was able to restart where I'd left off. Here is my CODEF "reworking" (I won't the use the term "remake" ;-) ) of the AK screen by The Gigabyte Crew and The Exceptions.

Having seen the newest version of the webSID player by Juergen Wothke now supports multiple SIDs for stereo playback & reverb, I thought it best to make the obligatory CODEF version.
The latest update to webSID includes stereo features. These features should NOT be activated if you are a purist looking for the original C64/SID chip experience!
The original chip outputs *one* mono-audio-signal into which all the SID's three voices are mixed. The only means by which stereo can be produced with the original hardware is by wiring up some non-standard multi-SID configuration.
Unlike the original hardware, WebSid provides voice level stereo panning: This allows to simulate multi-SID scenarios as well as single SID stereo not supported by the original SID chip.

A minor update to Jürgen Wothkes' S98 webaudio player, means I've just added the latest tweaks to my stripped down CODEF version, which can be found here...
Juergen has also updated his ASAP player today (he's been a busy boy!) - so I've updated my simplified CODEF version to match, using the latest backend.
Here is the link - enjoy!

...and yet another webaudio music backend has been updated by the hardest working coder I know! This time Juergen Wothke has updated the Farbrausch V2 synth playback engine.
My stripped down CODEF version (with EQ) can be found here...

Yes, he's been at it again! An updated backend for the "ayumi" webaudio music player for Atari ST .YM files has been released by Jürgen Wothke!
Guess what? Yep, another update to one of the webaudio music players by Jürgen Wothke! This time his SpectreZX player has been updated, to use a reduced buffer size - so again here is my CODEF stripped down version. As the sound chip in the ZX Spectrum was almost identical to the one used in the Amstrad CPC, many of the same music files work perfectly on this player, so in my CODEF version you can select between ZX and CPC music files!
Can you guess what? Yup! Jürgen Wothke has updated another one of his webaudio players - this time the MPT player, which fills in some of the gaps in UADE in terms of some of the module formats played.
