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

Phaser 1

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 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?

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
