I finally got to meet Tim Follin last weekend at the play expo Blackpool.
Seemed very nice and humble. Also seemed interested in the latest 1-bit advances. I managed to impose a copy of my 'on and off' cd on him which he said he'd have a listen to 
Probably just thought I was a crazy fan in retrospect 
I did mention our beeper parties
Absolutely amazing demo. Way better than 8088
Loved your soundtrack, Shiru. I've listened to it a few times now, brilliant.
Also the sample Laiden song at end I thought was brilliant too. Thought it was a mod playback until you explained what it was !
Thanks for the greet too
CD available now if anybody wants one:
Hi xxl
A lot of the tracks were from 1-bit mechanistic (EQ'd to be a little less harsh for Spotifty) so are mostly QCHAN. The others I've added the engines used:
Loading
Slow Burn Serenity
Robotix (I, Beeper)
March of the Biomech - Phaser 3
Difficult for Cyborgs (Raw Eq Edit)
Beepsong
Fascinated
That Old Magic
Tweeper
1-Bit Mechanistic - qchan plus speech synth
So Cold the Night
Spectronica (Raw Eq Edit) - Pytha
Mech-Dance - Phaser 1
Fascinated Down Low
Lazy Synth
Shades of Follin, Pt. 2
Beeper X
1-Bit
Hi bushy555
If you PM me I'll send you the source. Would be interesting to hear the songs on the VZ/Laser
cheers
New beeper compilation now available on all the streaming platforms if anyone fancies a listen.
Takes songs from my Serenity, Mechanistic Deluxe and Raw Spectronica (new EQ mixes) releases that were not on streaming platforms before.
Here's the spotify link:
Thanks a lot utz. Yeah Serenity was just a little tune I made one night that didn't seem to grate on repeat so I decided to record it.
Mech Dance has been rejected for 2 games now ! I thought I'd record and release it so the effort wasn't wasted.
Still waiting for your albums of those recordings you made a few years ago btw 
Hi Guys
Another little release, recorded from real hw as always
Very cool vid, enjoyed watching (and listening) to it
I forgot if we're used it somewhere, but a phasing effect with a couple of 16-bit adders:
add hl,bc add ix,de ld a,h xor ixh cp 128 sbc a,aActually I was experimenting with the Phaser idea applied to a 4-bit DAC (i.e. AY) with a quirk: instead of toggling the sole bit on and off with the overflow of each of the generators, why not XOR a couple of possible 4-bit values. Like, in the regular operation mode both XOR the output with 15, and we're getting the regular Phaser sound. However, if one of generators XORs a lesser value, the phasing effect kinda gets reduced. So we can control the amount of the effect in the channel, which gives it another dimension. The test is attached (press any key).
Very cool sound Shiru
Oh wow !
Never heard sample playback that good before on the Speccy 48k :0
Yeah a couple of tracks I'd not heard before too
Happy Birthday to the ZX Spectrum, released 40 years ago today.
Beepix ! - ZX Spectrum 40th Anniversary DJ Mix
DJ AyaLynne has mixed a load of 1-Bit Beeper music as part of the festivities
It's here:
Brilliant, thanks Shiru.
I'll give it a try tonight.
I know what you mean about having to be in the right mood to compose.
I really want to try and master a new engine. Great to see Archie included
Yes it would certainly improve things if it was better compatible with the +2a/+3
Most of my new tunes are used in games so I try and use an engine that sounds good on all models. If the games are released on tape then there's a good chance collectors will have a +2/+2a model.
Phaser 3 seems the best choice for me at the moment for sound quality, compatibility and the fact the complied tune files are not massive.
Just had a listen, got some very interesting potential. Like the white noise and drum variable volumes
On and Off is now on 125 streaming platforms
Beeper is everywhere
Some great beeper tracks been submitted so far in this year's Winterchip including one of the best Qchan tracks I've ever heard
Qchan
https://battleofthebits.org/arena/Entry … nge/51337/
Phaser 1
https://battleofthebits.org/arena/Entry … ack/51066/
Even a WTBEEP (I think) track
Very interesting read.
Just downloaded the album from bandcamp, love listening to these tunes (I still listen to system beeps in the car on my daily commute).
Something very appealing about this type of sound
Will there be any recordings of the Speccy versions of these tracks or the engine included in 1tracker ?
A couple of short vids of tracks from ON and OFF played back on vinyl.
Beeper on vinyl, how crazy is that
Very impressive, sounds just like the PET version. Different sounding engine for the speccy.
