Your music_data should simply contain the pattern pointers, the extra "patterndata" structure is not needed. So

music_data:
   defw pattern1
   defw pattern2
   defw 0
...

The 0-word at the end of the music_data block marks the end of that block, in the same way that the 0-byte at the end of a pattern marks the pattern end.

However, I don't know if Ear Shaver supports this kind of sequence/pattern structure out of the box, perhaps some adjustments to the data loader are needed.

Hmm, would you by any chance be interested in contributing to libmdal? I haven't defined any API for dealing with MDAL modules yet, but in general what I'm looking for is a set of utility functions for algorithmic pattern data generation that users can glue together to form actual generators. Perhaps later wave data as well, but it's not a priority right now. New lib is written in Scheme (specifically Chicken Scheme).

Hmm algorithmic pattern/sample generator, how does that work? Does it write to XM, or directly to .asm? What are the inputs to the algo? I'm asking because I eventually want to support algorithmic data generation natively in the upcoming new libmdal/bintracker, but I'm not not really much into that field myself.

Anyway, nice release Hopefully I'll get around to making something for the label one day but first I gotta finish that thing I promised for Bit Rot ages ago... ducks

He doesn't have any for offer, but there's a good chance he'd build you one on request. https://www.bytedelight.com/?page_id=499
I've bought stuff from the guy before and can vouch for the quality of his products.

Thanks guys Yes, the last song is indeed the one I played at IVP last year. To be released on my next album, coming out in 2125

Ha ha epic demo, mate! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3db3HIQuGds

Hmm, very intriguing. So there was some Ukrainian involvement.

Thanks, detective, much obliged!
We had another thread about this stuff: http://randomflux.info/1bit/viewtopic.php?id=153
Sadly punBB doesn't allow to merge topics (only with some 3rd party mod which reportedly doesn't work properly), so I'll have to think about collecting all this info into a sticky master post at some point.

You can just load .sna from divMMC. Otherwise there's SnapToTap for .sna->.tap conversion, and z802tzx for .z80->.tzx conversion (which you'll then have to convert to .tap for use with divMMC). See http://www.worldofspectrum.org/utilities.html#tzxtools
Assuming that the programs are written in pure BASIC, you could probably also dump the BASIC from Fuse and then shove it through zmakebas.

Wow, great find! I don't think it's pin-based, actually. Sounds more like a hybrid of Lyndon Sharp's engine and Savage. And 3 channels, too, wow.  Unfortunately the parasite tone is strong in this one, but nevertheless very fascinating to see that something like this existed back in 1990.

Thanks for posting these, uglifruit. That's quite a massive collection of tools!
Would you be willing to share the sources of the hacks/patches as well? I might be interested in creating some scripts for these, so one can easily include new patterns for the tritone/qchan tweaks.
