Thanks. I wanted to submit more tracks (and not only my own tracks) to Decadent Decade but didn't find the time to do this. But they extended it like 20 times so it wouldn't be reasonable to ask for more

About HT2 I like to create new songs from scratch with it, but since there are 16 rows my songs often end with something rather chaotic because the parts are short. So I find it quite pleasant to use it for making covers of another song (so far I've done two tunes like that).

For an HT2 album, maybe a compilation?
For my part, I haven't enough material to create a whole album...

While we're at it, I had a little bug with HT2 but I don't know if it worth mentioning it because I couldn't reproduce it. I'm also thinking it had happened because I was low in battery...
So I had a fresh backup cell (CR1620) but my AAA batteries were probably not fully charged. HT2 was working fine, until I tried to save in a slot (in replacement of an older state). Then I could no longer replay the tune. I could still navigate into the song and the patterns (if I remember well), but couldn't load, save, play or exit HT2. Then I removed the batteries to start again the calc (TI82). The calc couldn't start, so I thought the battery were dead. What was strange is after I saved and it began to have the problem, there was still enough battery to show the display and manipulate some options. So I used fresh batteries. I hadn't any "memory cleared" at startup (again, if I remember well), but when I type the "program" button, all was empty (hopefully I didn't loose much, I had made a backup some time before).

I made a little track (a cover of one of my famitracker song) there:

I've seen a TI92 on a garage sale, but I found the price too high and I wasn't sure it would work. Now I regret it

Anyway, it's a cool song, like it makes me wish to hire you in my Metal band...

Thanks a lot, both of you. I got also the ST version on this forum:

I managed to import one of my midi files into the Amiga version of Deluxe Music Construction Set, then export it to IFF Smus format, so I could re-import into the Atari ST version. But I'm a bit disappointed because the sound isn't that good, I hoped to be able to modify more parameters for the instruments (and also on Atari the timing isn't very precise it seems)

They could have used a similar video cable used on Raspberry pi 2 and C.H.I.P. (3.5 jack with 3 channels, 2 for audio, 1 for video, with output to RCA).
Maybe they'll rethink the board from they users feedback.

I didn't know the Spectrum 128 hadn't stereo for AY. But it seems the AY interfaces for ZX 48 were popular after that. On Amstrad CPC it seems it was stereo from the start.

There is indeed an RGB / VGA output (the white thing close to the ear output), but I don't know how to connect it to a vga screen.

They wanted to keep the same size factor and make it fit inside a raspberry pi box (but which version, I think it's the v1 B+ version), maybe it would have been more reasonable to make a proper vga output. On the other hand, maybe many people will use it on a tv (like the raspberry pi) so it was maybe more useful to have RCA rather than VGA.

It sounds great! Well done.

In my youth, I wanted so bad to get such a tiny computer... for hacking banks like in Terminator and making 1-bit music (I saw the movie later though, I've heard on the portfolio in some Atari Magazines). A friend of mine got one, his father was a doctor and some lab gave a portfolio to him as incentive.

"This compo accepts music for such sound chips as AY/YM, Pokey, SID, as well as one-bit digital modules for ZX Spectrum's beeper."

> what equipment I need to make 1bit tunes with a zx spectrum

only a zx spectrum, as 1-bit music is made from the beeper. You can convert your .tap files to waveforms and send the data to the zx through a monophonic jack cable so it can load the music.

they're still working on the topic! (they ported quattropic to the thomson and used a midi 2 quattropic converter)
