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?

Wow sounded like a massive amount of work to get all the tunes to fit into 48k yikes

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

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

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 ?

Cheers utz, yeah I spent a few weeks on this one polishing. Still not happy with the simple drums so I might lower the bd value so not quite as prominent or add a few more zap infills.

I don't like to include too much percussion as I prefer the overall sound to be more electronic music than chiptune, if that's possible with a beeper tune.

There are a couple of notes that sound a bit off on real hw too but fine on emulator so I'll tweak those.

I will only release the real hw recording as I still remember mister beeps words of wisdom. I often think it's cheating releasing recordings from emulators.

Yeah I saw that comment about thinking it was being played on a Russian clone. Very odd

Hi Guys

I've uploaded a new version of my 1-bit Mechanistic album.
EQ'd slightly less harsh, title track elongated and 4 extra tracks.
All recorded from a 48k Speccy except the last 2 tracks which are recorded from a Spectrum Next (48k mode).

There's a new CD available too.

Hi utz

Just tried the aczidbox tune again. Amazing. Notice it doesn't respond to keypress ?
A friend has nearly finished his space shooter game and this would be a great intro tune if the keypress was enabled.

cheers

Wow sounds great.

Could've done with this when I was writing some jingles for my new game recently. I ended up using a qchan game over jingle which took 720 bytes and a few huby jingles (a few hundred bytes each).

So will the file size be halved once channel 3 & 4 data is removed (plus the engine) ?
