Nothing new tune-wise but I've packaged the tunes from my Raw Spectronica album into a .TAP format and added some art.

It's here:

This is great

Hmmm, yeah, I thought it was maybe a bit too good to be true smile

Seem to be a few 'Spectrum' tunes made with Furnace on YT too. Will be good if they do manage to export files that can be played on real hw to authenticate the tunes.

Have you guys seen this?

Brilliant version for the PET

Don't know what engine/software was used to create it.

Be great to hear it playing on a real PET

Just wondered if anyone knew of a utility/converter doc to create loading music (written to screen ram) ?

I’ve seen examples of it with the Star Wars imperial March and I think utz included a couple of bonus tracks done in this way on his dat fuzz cd

Cheers

Many thanks Shiru.

I've managed to compile a sampletracker .tap now which plays great. I'm very excited about writing a tune with this engine.
It doesn't exit to basic though on pressing a key. Seems to get stuck in a loop ?

Hi Shiru. Just tried to compile a .tap of the new sampletracker example but it crashes when trying to play back.

The .tap includes a file 40448 bytes in size with a start address of 32768 so I  assume this is the issue unless it uses contended memory ?

Hi Shiru

Just noticed there seems to be a bit of an issue with 128K machines on emulators.

On FUSE - +2a/+3 won't play the album - sticks after intro screen
Spectaculator - Toastrack/grey+2/+2a/+3 - sticks after intro screen on all these models

Not tried on real HW yet

Wow !

Absolutely brilliant. Some of the tunes sound like nothing I've heard on the speccy before !

My favourites are Adventure Time and Balls of Steel

Thanks a lot.
That opens up some more exciting possibilities.

As you know, I love using samples in phaser 3 smile

Exciting stuff, thanks Shiru

Just had a quick go. Like the fact you can have volume control of samples

Not sure what the last two columns 'P' and 'o' are ?
Don't seem to be mentioned in the .txt file

cheers

I used a program called Corrscope that was mentioned in a vid I noticed on yt yesterday with an excellent tritone tune

Very easy to use and I was amazed I managed to get it to work so easily, after downloading the ffmpeg addins

Yeah the 2 values are a bit strange.

I missed out on 2nd spot by a similar margin last time so I'm not complaining big_smile

Yeah, the vids seem to have quiet audio even if I turn up the volume.
I use Hyper Cam 2 and a spectrum emulator.

More oompf in my oscilloscope vid smile

Congrats utz, excellent track as always.
High quality compo as you guys have said.

I agree about Noise in my head. My favourite, love those drums and delays. I actually thought it was phaser 3 as I’ve heard a phaser 3 track on BOTB with a similar lead sound.

I thought AER’s squat track might’ve been Utz’s at first, again very cool track that I’ll listen to over and over.

I Spent a lot of time on Heartbeat so hoped it would do well.

Yo yo on the other hand, just a few hours but I thought it worth entering as a contrast to the other types of tracks I knew would be entered smile

I might tidy it up a bit for a YouTube release with a suitable mad clubber digitised picture smile
