Hi mate,
Sorry, I don't know this particular program. Was it monophonic, or did it do multi-channel music?
In any case, there is some old PC Speaker stuff here: http://cd.textfiles.com/psl/pslmonthly2 … /mus_spkr/
Also, Will Harvey's Music Construction Set had the Entertainer as a demo tune, you can probably find that on some abandonware site.

Agreed, for some engines the IO contention adds some very pleasant overtones/harmonics to the sound.

Yeah, composite only is a downer, but I can kind of understand why. HDMI is not feasible for this kind of projects, because of the insane licensing fees (5000 USD per year + 1 USD per unit). VGA on the other hand is pretty much as outdated as composite, so they were probably thinking "why add another legacy port". But I agree, would have been nice-to-have.

Not using RCA for audio on the other hand is indeed a bad choice, didn't realize they use jack.

Whoops, that sold out quickly! Well, good for them. I think it's an excellent project at a very fair price, made by some very experienced people.

It's probably just akward wording/translation, quite sure they mean regular beeper tunes.

On the other hand, if one wanted to take the rules literally, then a tune made with fluidcore/wtfx/qaop/etc would do the trick, since those are technically digi-engines

Yes! So the day has finally come
Ummm... I don't have a Portfolio. Is there an emulator that can run this, and/or could you share a recording of the sound?

Well said, my friend. That's indeed one of the reasons I'm hooked on 1-bit music. There's a lot of uncharted territory waiting to be explored.

Perfect, this is exactly what I had hoped for. Thank you very much!

One little question, is it still possible to configure the color scheme? The current scheme isn't bad at all, but I like to work with a black background.

I see. So it makes sense that there is detune if the 0-delay is omitted - but that should be a self-detune, not a cross-detune, no?
Also, what do you think about "correcting" the other channel's counter when a pulse is triggered? I don't think it'd even need to be accurate, just decrement the counter by roughly ((pin delay length/undelayed sound loop length)+1) and if it overflows, jump right into pin pulse generation for the other channel (+ timer update as required), else skip the other channel update.

Hmm, I don't even understand why this doesn't cause massive cross-detune all the time.
That said, wouldn't it be possible to combine the pins after all, by adding up the delay values of both channels?

Edit: What exactly are the values that get fed into the variable delay? Is the delay for the 0-pulse some kind of inverse of the 1-pulse, ie the longer the 1-pulse delay, the shorter the 0-pulse one?

Yeah, there's the 1-bit AVR synth. Also, the famous 1-bit groovebox has some very crude means of syncing to a midi clock. There might be others as well.

Hey gensek, welcome aboard! Yes, as garvalf said, you actually only need a Speccy (and perhaps a mixer/amp so you can boost the signal a bit when loading wav files created from .taps). However, tape/wav loading is slow and tends to fail frequently when doing it in loud environments, so if you plan on doing more work with 1-bit and/or playing this stuff for live shows, you might want to get a divIDE or divMMC for faster, more reliable loading. (The page I linked to is the original manufacturer, but there are other sellers/manufacturers as well, just google it).
