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

Actually 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

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.
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
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
Excellent stuff Shiru, downloaded from Bandcamp the second I saw you’d released it.
My favs are Geostorm closely followed by High Orbit
Fantastic news. Thanks Shiru
Well done Shiru, well deserved win and both excellent tracks, yours too utz.
I've made a little vid of my entry, it's here:

Wow !
Lots of amazing beeper tracks !!
I really have no idea who is behind the tracks this year.
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
