the border fx is already built-in with the engine I think. A version with drums would be wonderful!

what? Are you joking? As far as I've seen, you have a very decent French.

There are talented programmers on system-cfg.com, you'll see

He loaded it twice because the hector is faster than zx spectrum: "Comme Hector est plus rapide que le ZX Spectrum ( de 3,5 Mhz on passe à 5 !) cela suffit à descendre le tempo (c'est pour ça qu'il y a 2 fois le même ld)."
It was also a "quick and dirty" conversion, he said he hasn't optimised the cycles used in your engine for getting a correct timing, hence the noise.

Yeah, I hope I'll find time to submit something... I'm more occupied with some AY stuff at the moment...

A new track made with Houston Tracker 2 : https://soundcloud.com/garvalf/joie-et-tristesse

so nice... the tune is great (as usual), it doesn't really sounds like regular 1bit music. Well done. For the fuse version I don't really understand what is wrong, except maybe it sounds less "full". Did you use some postproduction effects on the zx48 version on soundcloud?

I didn't know it was possible to change alsa buffer size. It seems I need to recompile the whole thing though...
I'll test further.
In the console I don't even get a "ALSA buffer xrun" or something like this.

On one computer (the one with pulseaudio, can't get rid of it on this one, probably I need to reinstall the whole system), if I start jackd on a low latency kernel (there I can increase the buffer), I won't get any sound at all with beepola. I'm not really convinced of the jack system either...
I remember some years ago, I switched to OSS, it seemed more reliable, and worked better than alsa (and pulseaudio was not "invented" back then)

every 4/5 posts (probably at random), I get a question to be sure I'm not a spammer / robot. Before it was "how many bit do you need to make cool music", now it's this zx spectrum cpu thing...
(edit: I just got it again, it was "Which CPU does the Sinclair ZX Spectrum home computer use? ")

well, I did not, I posted it much earlier (yesterday) and hibernated my computer. And today when I turned it on, I saw the infamous "which CPU is using zx spectrum" question, and answered it. Probably your post was already gone at that moment.

Cool. Even though I'm used to milkytracker, openmpt seems to be popular (and it's great too, btw it works ok with wine).

I think it's a very good idea. I've already tried several of Utz's new engines, but I haven't made a decent compo for all of them.

For drawing attraction to new people, I guess the best would be to make it as a BotB competition (but this would maybe not draw that much people on this forum on the other hand), with only a list of allowed engines, excluding all the ones in beepola, like tritone, qchan..., and other popular like octode and such.
