Rich Orth is the new Time Pilot champion. He got 531500 while drunk a week ago. I have not been able to get my crown back yet, but I will. Just you wait, Rich.
I haven’t got any more donations in a while, so I sponsored a new build of Atlantis myself. It’s serious sunset season at my beach, so I bought a cheap radical flyer to throw around with my friends. On top of that, I have joined a fierce bicycle gang. Summer rules.
Here’s what you get in Atlantis 0.9o:
- mousewheel support is back in
- delay module display is back to the old box style. flashing made people twitch. you may need to tweak your skins.
You can download it here. Enjoy!

It’s been exciting times. Beach season is in full swing. Regardless, Pendle Poucher donated a really nice sandwich so here’s a new build.
Before I get to what is new, I need to mention an old feature that lots of people ask about. On any selection button (waveform, modulator, algorithm, file, program, etc.), you can right click to bring up a context menu. If you right drag vertically, you can scrub settings. This is much nicer than the prev/next buttons a lot of people ask for. Try it.
This build is all about bugfixes. Seems like 0.9l and 0.9m had some serious issues.
- fixed sample-and-hold mode for noise lfo
- fixed old presets loading with wrong shapers
- fixed number of voices selection
- fixed polyphony cut-out bug
- potential fix for keyjazz mode in buze, although it damages mousewheel support
- now double-buffering all renders
Special thanks to the hard working testers, especially Joseph Drushal who really gives a shit about having his old presets work correctly, and Hiroto Sakahara who wants the number of voices specified correctly.
So, go download Atlantis 0.9n. And read the documentation here. Check out Limeflavour’s skin, too.

Will and James did a sweet job of presenting our game on Sony’s stage at e3 earlier this week. Here’s a video of their presentation. Awesome!

Holy Crap! 坂原 洋人, Tomasz Wąsik and Steve Faulkner pitched in enough for the company to purchase 2 pairs of red & blue 3d glasses, a Time Pilot flyer and an IBM t-shirt from ebay, increasing my nerd score by over 200 points. On top of Oliver Thomas’s 6 pack of Blue Buck, it was enough to motivate me to give you guys my favorite iteration of the synth yet.
So, here’s what’s new in Atlantis 0.9m:
- fixed repeatverb limiter distortion
- added phase offset slider
- works great with saw lfo
- updated file format
- waveforms now store path
- made ui skinnable
- and improved every module
- updated button mouse controls
- power: left click entire area
- context menu: right click
- selection: right drag or mousewheel
- wave window phase: left drag
- extened delay length 4x
- rescaled global volume
- fxp & fxb support
- single preset files (ass, asf)
- improved stability on startup (constructor race conditions and buffers)
- better anti-denormal code for phaser, filters, octaver, chorus and flanger.
- new FM preset waveforms with less harmonic content
- preset browsing
- mousewheel support for
- sliders
- selection buttons
- delay input
- help link button
- a way to name programs!
- left click for a dialog with patch name and comments
- added author and category fields to programs.
You can download Atlantis 0.9m here and an example skin here. Extract skins.zip into a your Data Folder/skins. Eg: My Documents\Atlantis\skins .
Time Pilot is the best single-player arcade game ever. My personal best is 386600 on the cocktail machine at work. I’ve seen Will Ho score 329000 and Rich Orth get over 263000. And that thing only has a 4-way stick.
