Hi kokkiklhs

I think it would in theory be possible to play short beeps as the speccy is loading due to the fact there are short gaps in the loading process. I'm not sure if it is possible to turn off the actual loading noise itself on a 48K speccy though??

I remember seeing a demo where graphics are displayed during the loading process by atebit, it's here:

I found these too:

The Beeper sound on the Vega seems very accurate compared to a real Speccy, maybe a bit more 'rough' for the lack of a technical description.

I made the 'Vega-mix' purely to post on the Vega forum as I hoped a few Vega users might like to create some Beeper tunes.

After I posted it on that forum I got this reply from one of the Vega users:

" I'm listening to it, although I'm not currently using the Vega. I'd like to ask if these 1-bit music engines use the dual level output of the speaker (you know the Speccy beeper outputs different levels depending on the combination of MIC and SPK bits from port #FE, working as a rudimentary, non linear 2-bit DAC)"

Is this correct?

When recording from my Speccy 48K there are large differences in sound quality/volume when recording from either the mic or ear sockets. In fact if recording from the mic socket and plugging a lead into ear socket I also get a different sound (particularly noticeable with Qchan) as it is slightly more Bassy and missing some of the very high frequencies.

Any comments guys?

Welcome aboard, great to see you here

Love your Full Throttle 2 tune. There's a very good recording of included in the ZX music bank.
I played it recently in the retro section in one of my 1-bit radio broadcasts on the wonky FM radio station.

The spectrum related stuff you uploaded to soundcloud is great too

WOW !

Very impressive. Thanks a lot introspec

Hi Zilog

I've never seen the Didatik M demo tape before either. The music is great, particularly Jan Deak's tune.

Thanks for uploading the .tap

thanks a lot d0x10, I'll pm you later

Here are some links to some Monotone music:

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)
