I think so, yes. The online voting is more of an on-the-side thing anyway, as those votes don't count towards the "official" results.

Always itching, just don't always have the time

Here are some ideas I have had, if any are of any use or spark debate.

Yup, same here. It would especially be great to have a (pseudo-)white noise channel along the pin pulse channels. Well, as I mentioned I've got an enhanced Qchan version in the works, which will feature full envelope control similar to Stocker. It should have some more bass, too, using introspec's technique from Octode XL. Though perhaps I should start studying Zilogat0r's Squeeker code more closely, as that would allow for even more bass.

Yeah, been longing for something like that as well. However, my conclusion is that this is a problem to be solved at the editor end of things. If I'm not mistaken most of Shiru's engines could already be used in that fashion, as they are tuned to 440Hz (unlike mine cause I suck at math ). So it's basically Beepola and/or 1tracker that would need to support this feature.

A few engines, like Wham and Music Studio already support this feature. Nevertheless it's a good point for other/new engines, and it isn't even that difficult to achieve.

qoap and yawp would be capable of doing that. But again, the problem is that there aren't any editors yet that support the full feature set of these engines. And unfortunately the whole editor business is a bit over my head, can't even figure out how to do plugins for 1tracker.

Hehe, I do my live performances with some black metal vocals So +1 for your idea!

hmm, crazy Fins, huh?
I actually joined wanted.scene.org very early on, and I certainly do keep an eye on it But sadly I went on vacation without my scene.org password. Missed a couple of things there in the past weeks, grrr.

Oh shi.... I thought the deadline was tomorrow. Just came back from Germany a few hours ago, hope my submission will still be received.

Neat! Totally not a Robbie Williams fan, but you managed to make even this music sound pleasant to my ears

There's also this: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=30929
They even released an editor for this, can't find it right now though.

Generally speaking, loading on the ZX is costs quite a bit of CPU, since it all the timing has to be done software. So it's not an ideal candidate for combining with 1-bit music, though I don't think it's impossible. It's certainly far more complicated than updating some soundchip's registers once per frame though

The spambot questions are done via a plugin in punBB, and it appearantly that plugin isn't very customizable at all. But afaik it still shouldn't ask questions except when signing up. Iirc we had the same setup at the old place, and it wasn't a problem there, right? I guess the problem is rather that the plugin isn't communicating properly with the punBB API.

In any case, let's wait for the update (thanks already d0x10) and see what happens.

Hehe, sneaky! Thanks, I might very well implement that, with due credit of course.

Generally speaking, timer updates are quite regularly getting in my way somehow. I'd very much love to find an alternative to the usual 16-bit counter update. Though on the other hand, splitting it into two parts like we usually do (dec lo, jp nz, dec hi, jp nz) provides a handy way for doing small data updates on the fly (think effects).

I think Chris Cowley did some testing with this some years ago and also came to the conclusion that is isn't worth it. (The thread is somewhere on WOS but I can't find it). I still think it might be interesting to perhaps use it for a reverb effect of sorts, but yeah, the unreliability of the effect across hardware revisions is quite a drawback.

Side note - I faintly remember actually using this in one of my engines, to balance the volume between drums and tones. Not that it really helped

Ok, then we have no choice but to duel it out
I just had a glance at my 7d7 engines, seems it would be possible in more cases than I thought, though I don't see it for all of them, namely not quattropic and xtone (and especially the latter would actually benefit greatly from it). Well, I'll definately give it more thought in the future, though I'm still not totally convinced. As a matter of fact, I've got a new, very fast wavetable player in the works where it definately won't work, as the sound core consists of little more than repeatedly doing out (#fe),a, rrca
