Yeah, a vid would be awesome!

@gotoandplay: I just read somewhere that on newer Windowses, installers that require direct hw access might need to be run via right-click-"run as administrator" even if you are already admin. Dunno if that helps in your case?

Ok, fixed the mute indicator bug, and AutoInc is now off by default. But the thing I can't figure out is how you manage to crash the calc. I'm on F00, pushing buttons like a maniac, and the damn thing just won't die. How do you do it exactly? Could you by any chance record a video of you crashing the thing?

True that, seems like it's recorded from TV speakers.

Edit: Just polished up the yawp package a little, correcting some errors in the documentation and fixing a faulty sample in the xm template.

Add 2 nops immediately after every out (#af),a instruction.

Not a wine user (my PC is too old/slow, and I consider it a security risk), so I'll have to try dcvg5k on my win xp box after all Judging from the recording the guy put on soundcloud it sounds good ok though, except that the noise drums seem a bit quiet.

Hello jeremielapuree,

Very cool that you are porting this routine to VG5000! I'm busy today so I can't check out your work right now, but I will do so as soon as possible.
Is there a version of dcvg5k for regular linux, btw?

The _skip labels are so-called local labels, they are only valid till the next non-local label. Prefixing with an underscore (_) is how pasmo does it, other assemblers will use a different syntax.

You can in fact remove lines 19-26 in main.asm, this code is just there to detect the presence of a Kempston joystick interface. So it's ZX Spectrum specific, you don't need it on VG5000. Then, you can replace the code you listed in your post with a standard keyboard check on your machine.
Hope that helps

Ah, I see. That's indeed a promising concept. It'd be especially interesting to attempt an implementation that uses it for harmonics.

What was the PIC implementation used for, just a stand-alone thingy? Do you still have sources for it?

Ah yes, some test files will help to analyze the problem, though at this point I'm considering rewriting the whole converter, as I've patched it like 5 times already without success.

The idea of the slides is indeed to simulate kick drums and toms. However, seems it's not that feasible after all, since their volume is too low. So perhaps I'm gonna add some good old-fashioned click drums after all.

Oh wow, that's exactly the type of timbre effect I've been phantasizing about.
I could try to implement it for TI (6 MHz), but on the other hand the target audience for that is tiny (basically boils down to garvalf and myself at the moment), so I'm not really motivated to spend my time on it.
Do you think you could get it to work in 3.5 MHz by going back to Phaser1 (ie, one channel with the effect and one without), and perhaps using a partially unrolled sound loop (ie updating frequency counters one at a time instead of both each loop iteration)?

Indeed, you have a good point there.

I've experimented a little with combining pin-pulses with Phaser-like synthesis. It certainly leads to some interesting results (overtones and such). However, volume balance is a problem, so the effect tends to be quite subtle. I haven't yet managed to get it right.

There's also another interesting idea by Alone Coder, based on a kind of wavetable synthesis, or duty cycle modulation, if you will:

Edit: Just saw your post in /sinclair. Too tired now, will check it out tomorrow.

And a new Win build for this one, too. Download address as above.

Damn, I seem to be getting more problem reports about TiLP than the actual HT2 lately

Ok, let's see about this one. You definately need that .dll installed, wonder why it won't let you. You probably need to be admin to install it (and the other libti* dlls), but I guess you've tried that already?

As far as the scanning goes, just don't scan, I think it doesn't really work with TI82 anyway. Just set the right combination in the "change device" popup or via command line.

As a last resort, you could try an older version of TiLP (or newer if you don't have the latest 1.17). Make sure you uninstall everything that came with TI Connect (especially the USB drivers), as TiLP can't coexist with an existing TI Connect install without some major hassle.

I made this thing some years ago. Timestretched 1-bit sounds. It's more drone than ambient though.

Aside from that, I don't think there's much "real" 1-bit ambient out there. Which is very unfortunate, I think somebody should definately give it a try!
