Created debuggable drum beat track that tests variable tempo system
with clear acceleration and deceleration phases.
Music Track Changes (assets/music.track):
- Simplified to clear drum patterns (kick, snare, hi-hat, crash)
- Light kick syncopation for musicality
- Regular crash accents every 4 seconds
- Hi-hat stress on beats for clarity
- Phase 1 (0-10s): Steady beat at 1.0x tempo
- Phase 2 (10-16s): Acceleration test (1.0x → 2.0x, then reset to 1.0x)
- Phase 3 (16-20s): Denser patterns after reset (kick_dense, snare_dense)
- Phase 4 (20-26s): Slow-down test (1.0x → 0.5x, then reset to 1.0x)
- Phase 5 (26-30s): Return to normal tempo
- Phase 6 (30s+): Add bass line and E minor melody
Tempo Control (src/main.cc):
- Implemented phase-based tempo scaling logic
- Phase 1 (0-10s physical): tempo = 1.0 (steady)
- Phase 2 (10-15s physical): tempo = 1.0 → 2.0 (acceleration)
- Phase 3 (15-20s physical): tempo = 1.0 (reset trick)
- Phase 4 (20-25s physical): tempo = 1.0 → 0.5 (deceleration)
- Phase 5 (25s+ physical): tempo = 1.0 (reset trick)
- Added debug output showing tempo changes (!STRIP_ALL)
Test Updates (src/tests/test_tracker.cc):
- Updated voice count assertions to match new track (3 → 4 voices)
- New track triggers 4 patterns at t=0: crash, kick, snare, hi-hat
Results:
✓ All 16 tests passing (100%)
✓ Clear, debuggable drum patterns
✓ Tests both acceleration and deceleration reset tricks
✓ Musical: E minor bass and melody after 30s
✓ Debug output shows tempo scaling in action

Critical Bug Fixes:
- Fixed pool exhaustion: Tracker slots never freed after use, music stopped
after 8 patterns. Implemented round-robin allocation with cleanup.
- Fixed note name parsing: Added automatic note-to-frequency conversion
in tracker_compiler. Bass and melody now play correctly.
- Fixed timing mismatch: Patterns are 2 seconds but triggered every 4 seconds,
causing silence gaps. Updated SCORE to trigger every 2 seconds.
Improvements:
- Implemented dynamic resource sizing in tracker_compiler: Analyzes score to
determine optimal MAX_VOICES/MAX_SPECTROGRAMS values.
- Created comprehensive rock track: 11 patterns with drums, bass, power chords,
and lead melody over 25 seconds.
- Added 213 lines of asset system documentation with 8 prioritized tasks.
Known Issues for next session:
- Audio quality could be improved (some artifacts remain)
- Note synthesis uses default parameters, needs tuning
- Pattern overlaps might cause voice exhaustion under heavy load
Files Changed:
- src/audio/tracker.cc: Round-robin pool allocation, cleanup logic
- tools/tracker_compiler.cc: Note name parser, resource usage analysis
- src/audio/synth.h: Increased limits to 16 based on analysis
- assets/music.track: 230-line rock arrangement
- doc/ASSET_SYSTEM.md: Comprehensive documentation + 8 tasks
- TODO.md: Updated with recent completions and known issues
handoff(Gemini): Music system now functional but needs quality improvements.
Audio artifacts and synthesis tuning remain. See TODO.md for details.
