Wow, great release

I've always thought the future of beeper was to have lyrics over the top and I've often thought about doing this sort of track myself although probably with vocoder or speech synthesizer. I remember Mister Beep shared with us his idea of singing over Furious Bees a few years ago.

Really like the fact he's used plip plop and phaser 1 for some of the tracks and also like his selection of merchandise.

Great achievement, congrats Tronimal

Cheers utz.

BTW, just downloaded the upgraded quattropic package and played the demo tune.

There now seem to be some strange artifacts playing in this version sort of bordering on glitches. Was this intentional ?
I've just played the original demo tune from Aug 2015 just to check it's not the emulator and that still plays fine.

Cheers

Came across this new ambient album today which I think is great
Obviously not 1-bit but definitely worth a listen.

I'd forgotten about those two pieces of 1-bit expansion. Both amazing

Not working for me I'm afraid utz

I'm on Windows 8, 64bit

Just tried the xmtosqueeker.exe and downloaded a .dll it asked for but it still won't start up.
libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll

Net research also advised to copy this .dll to \windows\SysWOW64
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll

Hi utz

I wondered how long it would be before you were itching to write another engine

Here are some ideas I have had, if any are of any use or spark debate.

I like the Qchan type engines but if more bass or better drums were possible this would be great. The best part of Qchan (for me) are the volume envelopes as I think this opens the door for interesting synth effects.

I would like to see an engine where different types are selectable from within the tune itself. A sort of multi-engine that can swap between (for example) a phaser sound to a basic rom beep sound to maybe a PFM sound in the middle of a tune. I think this would enable tunes to have sections in different styles and make them more interesting.

A useful feature would be for a tune to quit back to basic at predetermined points in the music (to maybe allow text to be displayed) and then the user could jump back into the tune at the point it left off.

OK, wacky idea. 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 ????

Just a thought.

Yeah I would have thought it would still be received.

You've got me worried now though   I emailed my submission at 1pm and have had no email reply yet. My email address sometimes gets filtered out as SPAM so I've just sent it again using my gmail address to make sure !

I've never entered this compo before so don't know how quickly the organisers get back to you about compo entries.

Hi guys

Think today is the last day to submit entries for DiHalt Lite 2016 (unless you are attending).

Hey hey, four ZX Beeper entries so far (I've just uploaded mine)

Thanks utz

Looks good.

Are you getting one of the new versions?
