Can't wait to have a go at composing on them.
Think I've taken my phaser 3 composing skills as far as I can now. Time to try a new engine

Re: 1tracker v0.47 (166 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Hi Shiru
I use 1-tracker for all my beeper tune compositions these days and find it pretty easy to use now.
Can I request a new feature.
The ability to compile the tune to a specific address ?
All of my phaser 3 tunes have had to be relocated as they've been used in games but I usually have trouble tweaking the .asm to compile with sjasmplus so being able to compile to a user definable address would be great
cheers

Jonathan - Trick or Treat
New ZX Spectrum game just released that I wrote the music for.
Intro tune uses phaser 3 and for the ingame/game over music I used the old faithful 80s engine, Wham the music box as mem was tight.
3 in-game tunes to choose from and multiple samples (press 1-7 after loading or any other key for the default 'Tubular Beeps')
For in-game sfx I made some 1-bit samples using Shiru's BeepFX (absolutely brilliant for creating speccy samples, particularly for converting down 8-bit samples)

Welcome to the forum Andy. As utz says, not the busiest forum but we do check regularly and always great to see new members.
A mine of invaluable info is available here in relation to 1-bit sound and engines.

Re: Chronos... (8 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Hehe yeah, that would be great. Wouldn't hold up much hope though.
More likely used as a coffee mat or CD hung up in the garden to scare the birds off his seed plants
Would be great if the chronos engine could in some form be added to 1tracker though

Re: Chronos... (8 replies, posted in Sinclair)
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

Re: 1Bit Serenity (5 replies, posted in Sinclair)
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

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
