Kewl! Sounds very slick even on 48K. Hoping for a source code release.

Re: Final Signal
Best new beeper track/sound I’ve heard in a long time. Just tried on fuse in 48k mode and still sounds amazing !
Just wow !
Re: Final Signal
Dmitry, the creator of the engine, contacted me asking to handle his code and turn it into a proper engine. At the moment it only plays this specific demo and is tuned up for its specifics. He shared the source code and tools. It is quite overwhelming for me, trying to figure it out so far.
CORE5 - 5 channels with resampling, 16.8 kHz PWM, internal sample rate 8.4 kHz
CORE51 - 5 channels with resampling plus fixed-rate channel for drums, 16.2 kHz PWM, internal sample rate 8.1kHz

Re: Final Signal
Had a quick look, can't say I have much of a clue how this works. Am I correct in assuming that this essentially works like my "multicore" engines, except it has more fine-grained resolution, and cores are generated? In any case, very glad Dmitry is sharing the code, thanks for that!

Re: Final Signal
...disassembled the .TAP, and there seemed like lots & lots & lots & lots of very short routines each with OUT ($FE), A.
Curiously I tried to assemble it with the included python batch file (for a PC), but received python script errors within the compilation script itself. And I know absolute nothing about Python. Gave up and went and had a beer whilst contemplating some of my life choices.

Re: Final Signal
Yeah, it seems it is all about very strictly generated code, for each particular case. Dmitry told me he tuned up the code specifically for these instruments and this song, and it won't work with anything else without fine tuning, that's the problem with the engine he'd like to solve.
Can't wrap my head around it either so far, even though I'm fluent in Python.
