Thanks for the details! Very helpful — hickups after a while points to a memory buildup issue, not an activation problem. I'm already investigating and working on a fix. Which layers do you use most when it happens?

Thank you so much, this really means a lot! 🙏

Custom sample import is definitely something I want to add — it's already on my roadmap. No ETA yet, but it's coming!

Thanks for the details about the hickups! Tauri on Windows is a known tricky combo for audio — the WebView2 engine can be a bit unpredictable with the Web Audio API.

A couple more questions to help me pinpoint it:

- Windows 10 or 11?

- Do the hickups happen right at launch, or after using the tool for a while?

Most likely culprits on my end: AudioContext resuming late, or buffer issues with WebView2. I'll investigate either way! 

Thanks again for the 10/10, it keeps me going! 🎧

Thanks! Glad the sound hits that organic retro vibe — no samples, all synthesized.

Will look into the Firefox bug. And noted for the .mod export, great suggestion for the Amiga crowd — adding it to the list, can't promise a date yet though.

A few people have now voluntarily paid for a free tool. That one caught me off guard.

Xyntaro Audio SFX Generator is free, always will be — I built it because I wanted something like it to exist and figured other devs might too. I didn't build it expecting tips.

But every now and then someone drops one anyway, and as a solo dev you rarely get clear signals that your work actually lands. A tip from a fellow dev who had no reason to pay is a pretty loud one.

To those of you who did: you know who you are. You didn't have to, and that's exactly why it means something. Thank you! It goes straight back into the next weird little tool.

Thanks, I’m trying to create games that gamers will enjoy.
