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

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

Re: new engine: wtbeep (21 replies, posted in Sinclair)
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

Re: Faulty Robots - Commodore PET music album (13 replies, posted in Other Platforms)
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 ?

Very impressive, sounds just like the PET version. Different sounding engine for the speccy.

Hi Shiru
Just seen this new speccy game on youtube.
Notice you've converted the great PET tunes.
Did you write a new engine for this?
Cheers

Re: Shiru's 1-Bit Music Compilation Vol.2 (16 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Wow sounded like a massive amount of work to get all the tunes to fit into 48k 
Very impressive work.
For my 'On and Off' .tap I didn't even bother to try and get them to fit. Beeperman and Radio in the Rain are 32kb each !
I just had a multi-load .tap and assumed someone would make a .trd version

Re: Shiru's 1-Bit Music Compilation Vol.2 (16 replies, posted in Sinclair)
Excellent stuff Shiru, downloaded from Bandcamp the second I saw you’d released it.
My favs are Geostorm closely followed by High Orbit

Many thanks for your comments utz and for letting me use Transporter too. I think it fits in with the album great.
Seems to be going down very well, particularly the .TAP version

No probs, I've sorted it now. I was using v0.29 rather than v0.30
Very impressive tune

Re: Squat for Atari (13 replies, posted in Atari)
Hi Shiru
I can't get the tune to load into 1tracker, it errors.
I've copied the squatm.1te into the engines folder, is there anything else to do ?
