Hi d0x10
Are there are any plans for another test of the bitFM 1-bit chipmusic radiostation ?

Here are some links to some Monotone music:
8088 MPH by Hornet + CRTC + DESiRE (final version)

https://soundcloud.com/phoenix-dc5/monotone-trial-2
I also knocked up a little 'tune' with it for the compo, written on a vintage laptop I picked up from a charity shop.
Glitch!
(I thought I'd have a go at making this type of music after listening to the Glitch music on the wonky FM radio station)

Topic: The Spectrum Vega (1 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Well I've done it!
I've re-mortgaged the house, sold the dog (he took it very well) and bought a Spectrum Vega today
Mister Beep tells me the Beeper sound quality is great and very accurate so I can't wait to record something from it.
Hopefully some of the thousands of new Vega owners may find their way here if they fancy doing something creative with their new toy (once the nostalgia of Manic Miner and Jetpac has worn off) and write some music to play on it. I plan to post on the Vega forums once mine arrives.

Re: 1-Bit Forum Compo: Results (10 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Yes that's true, the time constraint to finish a composition for a compo really does motivate and focus you.
Boiled Down, Water Beeplets and Glitch! were written very quickly on a Friday night after some beers (I think it shows though)
Thinking about it, 1-bit is a very niche market, probably even on the fringes on chipmusic fans taste.
But once you're in, you're hooked

Re: new beeper engine: Tritone FX (3 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Wow utz you're on a roll, another very interesting engine !
Would be great to hear something written with it by one of the high speed tritone experts like Brightentayle, Raphaelgoulart, Strobe, Moviemovies1 or FrankT.
What's next?
Can I suggest Qchan XL with a bass channel and quieter drums

Re: 1-Bit Forum Compo: Results (10 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Thanks a lot utz for organising the compo. As you say, it was a bit disappointing that more people didn't participate, but personally I really enjoyed entering.
Now to write something for octode 2k15 or quattropic

Re: 7 days, 7 (new) beeper engines (65 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Wow utz, you have been busy !!
I never expected a new version of octode, and with the tuning issues fixed too. Brilliant
(The download link is pointing to the Quattropic package btw)

Re: 7 days, 7 (new) beeper engines (65 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Cheers utz.
Another great engine with another unique sound
Thanks for the xm template, oh and thanks a lot for the .tap version of the qaop soundcloud tune.
Look forward to tomorrow's instalment

Re: 7 days, 7 (new) beeper engines (65 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Two great engines so far Utz
I love the lofi sound and volume control of qaop (btw any chance of including the xm / tap of the demo tune from soundcloud ? Would be great to know how it sounds on a real Speccy and how you wrote it)
Quattropic is really great too, I love the sound, general tone, bass and balanced percussive sounds.
Can't wait for the next five

Re: Youtube dump (11 replies, posted in General Discussion)
what a great show and music! I'd love to have been there...
I agree, great show, I'd love to have been there too. Utz, you looked like you were really enjoying it
Btw, was Iztek being played live from the Speccy or from the laptop? The display on the LCD screen next to the Speccy looked like the Jan Deak tribute album, did you also play Crystal Realm in your set?

Re: 1-bit ZX Beeper albums (3 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Ah yes, how could I forget '1-Bit Music' ?
Fair play to Tristan, he's now got the album on Spotify too!
Was really ZX Beeper music I was interested in though.

Topic: 1-bit ZX Beeper albums (3 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Hi Guys
Does anyone have a link to a download for the ZX Beeper album that John Norton Irr released around 2013?
There used to be a link on the old forum that I used to follow, there was also a really cool album by AER that I used to listen to that was listed below the John Norton Irr one.
I'm trying to collect all the ZX Beeper albums released.
So far I have:
Monophonic Generator - Mister Beep (2009)
The Lowest Fidelity - Mister Beep (2010)
Exile - Voxel (2010)
A Thousand Furious Bees - Mister Beep (2011)
Z80 - Mister Beep (2012)
The Journey Begins - 1-Bit Wizards (2012)
Chromospheric Flares - Mister Beep (2014)
Dat Fuzz - Irrlicht Project (2014)
1-Bit Mechanistic - Tufty (2014)
In Memoriam of Jan Deak - Various (2014)
One Myth - Garvalf (2015)
Can anyone think of any others?

Re: Youtube dump (11 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Nice vid, I'd heard Monkey Island before but not a lot of the other tunes.
I think this is a cool PC speaker tune that doesn't seem to get mentioned much, by David Whittaker I think.

Hello,
Btw, talking about beepola, I found this thread with astonishing tunes by FrankT:
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/d … -wip-tunes
Wow !
I see what you mean, some amazing SID-like beeper tunes from FrankT there.
Darklight & Super70s in particular. The AY stuff is amazing too

Re: Beepolyator - convertor from midi to zx16 (6 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Wow, this is a great idea
Unfortunately the midi convertor .exe doesn't seem to work on Windows 64bit so I couldn't try it out
Here are some midi files I was going to have a go at converting if anyone else wants to try (I think some of them could sound pretty good, particularly FOFT)

Re: testing some new tricks... (7 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Hi Shiru
I think it's the first time I've make contact with you, great work with the Qchan engine btw, I use it all the time
I wouldn't have a clue about making a sound engine but it's still very interesting reading the posts
Utz - are you thinking of including volume variation into anteater or one of your other engines?
