Yes, it'd have to be a rather minimalist cover. Though you'll find that 6xx/9xx + 8xx/Exx can get you surprisingly far.

Unfortunately it's not avoidable. It's a major flaw in the design of HT2, but I didn't know better back then. I wish there were an easy way to fix it, but basically the only way would be to rewrite like half of HT2 from scratch. Maybe one day, when I have too much free time, lol.

Well done, I like it indeed! Looking forward to hearing more from you. I'd be interesting to see if you could pull off some of the more glitchy/breaky Aphex Twin tracks.

This ultra-dirty sound you're going for is great. Still in love with the guitar especially. Would you consider recording a metal song maybe?

You have the Mata/Qieta stuff and Mister Beep's old works, I guess? I don't know any other (beeper specific, at least). Nowadays nobody uses it anymore since we have zbmod which does the same but much cleaner sound.

That's a pity. Well, at least we're getting this excellent music release. Anyway, thanks for the good read. Looking forward to the upcoming ones, especially the data format one. I'm also curious about your experiences with VIC. Writing a player with support for "viznut" waveforms has been on my bucket list for a long time. Sounds like I might be in for some nasty surprises, though.

Lol, was too lazy to add a keyhandler, cause I thought nobody would use this anyway
Pushed an updated version with keyhandling to github. Source is for Pasmo assembler, btw.

ud - Ultimate Drum Synth

Added one to the collection of reusable click drum routines. This one can mix tone slides (kick/tom) and noise. Pitch and volume control for everything. Unlike the "kick" routine, the kick synth in ud uses only exponential pitch decay, but the decay speed can be controlled. 16-bit tempo control, because why not.

The source code can be found in the CLICK_DRUMS directory on my 1-bit engine github repo.

I've been wondering for some time if there is a way of replacing the usual 16-bit frequency counters with an LFSR or something of that sort. Feels like such a waste to spend 4 registers on a simple counter every time.

Did you check out AMP16k already?

Sounds surprisingly nice for being so simple.

start
  ld b,1
  ld hl,#4000
loop
  ld a,(hl)
  add a,b
  ld b,a
  ld (hl),a
  out (#fe),a
  inc hl
  ld a,h
  cp #58
  jp nz,loop
  jp start

Could've easily shaved at least 3 bytes off, though

I still would like to see a bytebeat interpreter for beeper one day. Or rather, bitbeat... I don't see how it could be done though, considering the thing needs to run in constant time.

Horray, got it working in 2 channels, with lfo-controlled resonance. That was surprisingly tough. Sadly, no room for a low-pass. It's also fairly noisy when mixing 2 channels. Will try to get it a little cleaner than this, though I'm slowly running out of ideas.
