Re: Best beeper music: top100 rating. (15 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I hope that one day ZX-Art will become an everyday tool for beeper musicians.
hello, I consider ZX-Art as a very valuable place for everyone enjoying pictures and music. It's easy to upload tunes (and pictures), browse and play them, the interface is great and clean. I don't have idea to improve ZX-Art, I think it's already perfect.
One question, I don't really under the rating, why this work http://zxart.ee/eng/authors/t/tim-follin/agentx/ which as only 5, has a rating of 4,14? Is it because there is a starting value before the first vote?
I'm in the process to submit my beeper and ay tunes on it!
Maybe one day "Vapeurs d'alcool" will enter the TOP100, who knows? ![]()

I wonder if he didn't recorded the vg5000 from the ambient sound in the room, instead of from the line out. It sounds like recorded "live".

dcvg5k is available there: http://dcvg5k.free.fr/ . It runs fine with wine. I thought it wasn't for linux but there is a sdl version: http://dcvg5k.free.fr/v2/dcvg5kv2en.html
I haven't tried it (it might be older)

Re: 7 days, 7 (new) beeper engines (65 replies, posted in Sinclair)
so, it's working? http://forum.system-cfg.com/viewtopic.p … amp;t=6895
I've loaded your .k7 into the dcvg5k emulator, how can I run it? I can type "load", or "run", but I don't know how to play the tape (the option is not available)
ok, I found it on the user manual (http://vg5000.free.fr/docs/livres/Manuel%20utilisateur.pdf ):
cload "VG5000"much hiss and noise in the emulator, but it's still very good...

Re: 7 days, 7 (new) beeper engines (65 replies, posted in Sinclair)
salut,
is there a beeper on the VG5000? How is the sound generally produced? I've looked at the "Philips VG5000 Departement Formation Technique (09-84)" manual, it seems it can be rerouted into the tape interface and driven by the z80 cpu.

Re: 7 days, 7 (new) beeper engines (65 replies, posted in Sinclair)
I'll send you a couple of files with this behavior, if I still have them. I kept some glitches, while I removed some others. I used your last converter from 2015-01-14 I think, I re-downloaded yesterday this one and compared with the cpp code and it was the same https://github.com/utz82/ZX-Spectrum-1- … p?raw=true
for the slides, they sound more like bass drums

It sounds great. If you make something with this, I'll make an ambient tune for sure! ![]()

Re: HoustonTracker 2 (TI-82/83/83+/84+) (130 replies, posted in Calculators & Pocket Computers)
I have tried, but TI Connect does not support TI 82 calculators.
ah, it's true I have a ti83+, not a ti82.
if your pc is powerful enough you can try to use a virtual machine with either windows or linux installed (TiLP is not especially easy to use on linux but I managed to make it work anyway, on windows it worked out of the box for me). Otherwise try from a friend's PC to be sure it's not another problem...

For the quattropic engine I get many glitches when I have some notes both on channel 3 and 4 (slide on ch3 and noise on ch4). If I remove one of those tracks, the glitches disappear so it's a conjunction of the two which are producing them. Maybe it's intentional (I don't really understand how the slide notes should behave btw), anyway it's very cool.

thanks AtariTufty.
It seems finishing last is a kind of trademark (or destiny) for me... ![]()
Hopefully my goal is to create new things. I have a new song ready for the BotB, using the quattropic engine.

Yerzmyey made this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kcSdlOEizc
He said there is only the beeper (no AY), and some postprocessing. Maybe it's not true 1-bit because of the after effects, but anyway...

Hehe, I do my live performances with some black metal vocals
So +1 for your idea!
This one is not 1-bit with black metal voices but 8-bit with death metal voices

Re: next gen engine ideas (135 replies, posted in Sinclair)
How about a drum and bass engine with basically mega bass and a selection of drums/hihats etc. Maybe 2 mega bass channels or even just one with digi-drums ????
I seriously got the idea to record a (black) metal album with drums only from a ZX spectrum...
I really would like to make an engine that mimicks the sound of an overdriven guitar/bass with variable sound characteristics.
That would be great!

Re: MiST FPGA and ZX Spectrum (7 replies, posted in Sinclair)
I've posted some files there:
http://garvalf.online.fr/index.php?page=blog_2016-01-06
When I open the resulting wave in a sound editor, along with a wave from a real spectrum, my spectrum seems to be a bit slower (in a 2 minutes song, there is 1 second difference at the end)
I'll try later with engines having more bass, it would be more relevant for the sound. When I compare some songs with the fuse emulators and real spectrum, it's not very obvious which one is which. The real spectrum is somehow slightly warmer.

Re: Difficult For Weirdos - New Tune (6 replies, posted in Sinclair)
The bass reminds me much of your previous works, but there are some new things in this one, quite a Daft Punk feeling in fact. It's often a good thing to make covers because it helps to have a new view on how to compose a song (how it's structured and how melodies are made). I should do this more often.
The sound is good, which emulator are you using? (I guess there are some postprocessing as well)

Re: MiST FPGA and ZX Spectrum (7 replies, posted in Sinclair)
in fact this new version is just a "core", and like the firmware you can easily update it (just copy the new file on the sd card), so I have access to the latest version.
https://github.com/sorgelig/ZX_Spectrum-128K_MIST
I see this project seems to be interesting as well: http://zxuno.speccy.org/ The target price is 40 € for the fpga card and accessories (at the moment you have to solder everything yourself).
If you wish, I can record a song from your 1-bit Mechanistic album so you could hear how it sounds. It'd be interested to compare with original spectrum and vega as well. Do you have a vega recording of one of your songs?
