AHX player web interface

AHX Web Music Player

A web interface demonstrating AHX playback in JS using Web Audio API, IndexedDB and JSZip. Tested in Chrome/Firefox.

AHX (Abyss Highest eXperience) is a tracker music format dating back to 1995-1997 on the Amiga. It is completely synthetic and designed to sound like C64 chiptunes. The music files are quite small.

Many thanks go to bartman/abyss for his AHX javascript replayer source. It hasn't been updated and was only ever released here and here back in 2011. I did a number of quick patches to allow all AHX and AHX2 files to work. If there is a better version somewhere, let me know and I'll include it! AHX was originally made by dexter/abyss and pink/abyss.

Usage

You'll first want to download the repository and run index.html (or download only AHX.zip and use the live version here). Drag over the AHX.zip file over the page to load/unpack all the tunes into the internal database (using IndexedDB API).

AHX.zip contains a collection of AHX tunes (1000+ files) from various sources, mostly Modland/AMP.
