A new raw version of my Spectronica album is free to download.
6 of the tracks reworked with overdubbed speech removed and a new loading track.

Download it free here:

Wow, excellent work. The Octode tune in particular I think sounds great.

Not sure if the song ripper in beepola works for huby but it certainly does for qchan, tritone and phaser 1.
Have you tried porting the qchan engine? There are masses of great tunes in battle of the bits that can be downloaded and the song file extracted. Also on chipmusic.org

Anyway, welcome aboard. It's great to hear your enthusiasm for 1-bit. Let us know of any new tunes you get running smile

Would be interesting to compose with a new mono 1-bit ZX Beeper engine. I still have a go with Rombeep sometimes but that doesn't allow low octave notes (through beepola)

Great album Shiru. I've listened to it quite a bit. It's surprising how addictive this type of monophonic music is !

Great compositions and I don't think I've ever heard drum sounds like that from PC Speaker mono tunes before   smile

Great album from the master of Savage.

Love the border FX and pulsing title graphic too, my favourite track is 'DECAF' so far as I like the FX in it.

Congrats AER  smile

Wow thanks a lot guys. A very unexpected win.

Glad people liked my track, there were some excellent tracks again this year and a  great turnout for Beeper big_smile

Most of the credit for my track goes to the excellent (and very underused) phaser 3 engine by shiru. I love the drums and low phased synth sound on it.

Wow that is excellent smile

The most original thing I've seen done with 1-bit ZX Beeper for a long time!

Love the qchan bits.

So was it a completely new 'live performance' engine or pre made sections/chords played on certain key presses ?

Hi uglifruit. Welcome to the forum smile

I've just listened to your musical. Wow some great work, particularly like 'I could be a paperboy' and 'in space'.

Also great to hear some 1-bit speccy music used in the 1st track smile

Thanks Garvalf for the link.

Some great tracks on it, very inventive and interesting.

Love the X-Bass on Beep Hunters, it really improves the track.

Lofi samples and plip plop engine on Don't fear the Beeper !
Love at the first Beep - cool mixing and stereo effects.
More lofi samples and AY drums over the beeper music on other tracks.
Like the Red Sector intro too (improved mixing from the Dihalt version) and Teddybear's Funeral with its multiple engines.

Great Stuff smile
