Below you can find a list of all available 1-bit routines for Atari 8-bit computers and their GTIA chip. There are currently no native engines for this platform. All the available ones were originally developed for the ZX Spectrum beeper, and were ported to Atari by XXL. For tutorials on usage, refer to the ZX beeper list.


LSengine by Lyndon Sharp
- 2 tone channels + non-interrupting sample drums
- custom synthesis
XM converter

Octode by Shiru
- 8 tone channels + interrupting click drums
- pulse-frequency modulated (pin pulse) sound
XM converter

Qchan by Shiru
- 4 tone channels + interrupting click drums
- pulse-frequency modulated (pin pulse) sound, volume control, envelopes
XM converter

Tritone by Shiru
- 3 tone channels + interrupting click drums
- pulse-interleaving (square wave) sound, variable pulse-width
XM converter


XXL has also ported several other engines including Music Studio, Octode XL, Phaser1, ZX-7, and ZX-10, but there are currently no converters available for these.

Oh this horrible emptyness... better fill up the board with some useless crap tongue

So, here's a little 128 byte beeper demo I made for Outline a few weeks ago. Basically what it does is play back the Spectrum's ROM as a 3-channel beeper tune, and also produce some glitch visuals on the side. Unsurprisingly, it couldn't really compete with the all the mindblowing stuff that other people made for the compo. But considering it was my first 128 byte prod, I'm nontheless proud of it wink

You can download it here, or watch it on youtube.

I think we need a new forum header background... Would anyone of you honoured members be willing to design one?
Optimally it would be lightweight in terms of file size, and would tile (so it doesn't look crap on mobile devices.

Also I was wondering if we should officially expand the forum's scope to include 1-bit art and design. Black and white pixel stuff, basically. Not that I know of any people who actively produce this kind of stuff, but it would great to have some fitting visuals to complement the music, no? What do you folks think? We'd probably need to set a few examples ourselves for people to follow suit, though...

Yay, the 1-bit Forum is back! A big round of applause for d0x10 for providing the server space, and installing the board system, please.

Welcome aboard the 1-Bit Forum, great to have you here! Please make yourself at home, and if you like, please introduce yourself in this thread smile

So, for a start... I'm utz wink I make 1-bit music (surprise surprise) and I've also coded a few sound routines. Also I run Ancient Wonderworld, a blog about oldschool computer art - see the links in my signature.
