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).

Thanks guys

Just checked it on +2A myself... looks funky indeed Ideally it should look more like this on 48K, too - then sound would be cleaner. I've got some ideas to improve sound by always keeping the beeper afloat rather than shutting it off at volume 0. But it'll be quite some work to implement, and I'll have to reduce the mixing rate, though there's some room for that.

Ah, nice! Must've been quite a challenge to get it up to speed on 6809. I'm curious if the guys will present something at Forever. I think I might've actually met them back at Forever 2010 (where LCD taught me my first steps of Spectrum coding ;D)

Good news everyone, HoustonTracker 2.1 has been released! Several new effects, improved keyhandling, and of course various bugfixes were implemented. For full details, check the original post in this thread.
