Absolutely amazing demo. Way better than 8088

Loved your soundtrack, Shiru. I've listened to it a few times now, brilliant.

Also the sample Laiden song at end I thought was brilliant too. Thought it was a mod playback until you explained what it was !

Thanks for the greet too smile

Robotix (I, Beeper)
March of the Biomech - Phaser 3
Difficult for Cyborgs (Raw Eq Edit)
Beepsong
Fascinated
That Old Magic

New beeper compilation now available on all the streaming platforms if anyone fancies a listen.

Takes songs from my Serenity, Mechanistic Deluxe and Raw Spectronica (new EQ mixes) releases that were not on streaming platforms before.

Here's the spotify link:

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 wink

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,a

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

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 smile

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

Some great beeper tracks been submitted so far in this year's Winterchip including one of the best Qchan tracks I've ever heard smile

Qchan
https://battleofthebits.org/arena/Entry … nge/51337/


Phaser 1
https://battleofthebits.org/arena/Entry … ack/51066/


Even a WTBEEP (I think) track

https://battleofthebits.org/arena/Entry … ite/50859/

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 smile

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?
