ZX81 is a British monochrome computer as big as an adult man's hand-palm. It has touch-sense keyboard and 1Kb of RAM only and it's been released in 1981 (American version is Timex 1000 and Timex 1500). 
It had a modular construction, so people weren't forced to buy all the hardware in one machine, if they didn't need it. So - if anybody required additional RAM, he could buy 16Kb RamPack or more. 
If somebody needed sound - he was able to buy a ZonX sound-module (with YM/AY chip inside). 

Finally we decided it's not enough for us. ;) ;) ZonXes are still being produced by various guys. And now - one machine is interesting for our porpose: Mr-X, because it is a through-out device - more interfaces can be connected to it. So - we decided to connect two sound-modules to ZX81 (one of them is on different ports than another) to obtain 6 channels of sound. 
And... IT'S ALIVE!!!!!! ;) Yes - You can here listen to  6-channels music composed on real ZX81 32Kb with two YM/AY interfaces (ZXpand-AY and Mr-X). Also I recorded the music from real ZX81 hardware. 

To compose the songs I used Andy Rea's "ZX81 SoundTracker" (first I made one half of every song, then the second one, because the SoundTracker for ZX81 can support only one AY chip - 3 channels). 
Then I recorded them from the same ZX81 with ZXpand-AY and Mr-X modules (using TurboSound Player). 

Thanx go to Andy Rea for the software (ZX81 SoundTracker, TurboSound Player), also to ZX81 hardware developers: SirMorris (ZXpand and ZXpand-AY) and to Sascha2000 (Mr-X).

Finally I got the ACA500 interface for the Amiga (RAM, CPU, HDD/CF). Work with the device is highly comfortable and nice!! I planned to make a longer oldschool rave / breakbeat / house album, using the interface :) and indeed entire album "Rave is illegal" (04.2014) You can find here:

This song will be part of it, so treat it as a teaser. ;)

https://youtu.be/qAaCJUdbN24?t=8m24s

ZX Spectrum 48K with AY-interface. 
The song comes from my album "Chiptunes" (October 2014) downloadable from here: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl

A strange thing - I made this song in 2011 and then - I *totally* forgot about it. I haven't listened to it even once, since then. So when I found it lately, I was totally surprised and was listening to it like it was somebody else’s song, haha. A very odd adventure. ;)

Yerzmyey - A very odd adventure

A concert version of this song https://youtu.be/ON66ckqrkO0 from 21.11.2015, from AmiReset party.

AMIGA 500 (8 channels). 
Made with OctaMED. 
Requires 1Mb of ChipRam. 
Recorded from real hardware. (Stereo slightly changed).

Yesssssssss. After 20 years I made an 8-channels module on Amiga500 AGAIN. ;) I wasn't sure how it would work, as one can't actually use volumes in this mode, on OctaMED. It's because there are only 4 volumes for 8 traxx then. Which suxx. So it's better not to use volumes at all and make more 'versions' of samples (each with different volume). 
Also the sound-quality gets much lower in the 8ch mode. But whatta hell - why not to force old good A500 to some harder work (software mixing: actually two chips play the music: Paula but also Motorola :) ). 

Enjoy this small experiment. ;) 

Yerzmyey - Chasing

I'm always interested in pushing classic computers to their limits.
This time I was given this opportunity by Paulo Simoes who programmed the Hex-Tracker 849a.

This song has been made on a pure ATARI TT, a machine released in 1990, with 4Mb of RAM, 8-bit sound quality, with 2 hardware digi-channels only.
The trick it - Hex gives 16 channels, using the Atari's 32Mhz Motorola CPU.
(Can make more but with a substantial sound quality reduction).

This song is a MOD format and has all its limitations (8 bit samples, only 64Kb for a sample, only 31 samples in the module, octaves limitation) but the only difference - are those 16 channels in the MOD (software mixing).

Recorded from real hardware (that originally has only 2 digi-channels, haha). 

Enjoy, if possible.

Yerzmyey - aTTraction

Full Raspberry Pi album is here: https://yerzmyey.bandcamp.com/album/rpi-zwei
"Ursula (part 2)" by Yerzmyey. (C) 2015. 

This song has been made entirely on Raspberry Pi 2. Also, it has been recorded directly from the machine. 
22 channels have been used. 

Generally, the R_Pi's sound is being generated by the Broadcom BCM2835 chip (for model '1' of the R_Pi) and by Broadcom BCM2836 chip (in model '2' of the R_Pi) - and in my case it's the BCM2836 chip - so it's resolved somewhat like in ZX Spectrum: the sound is being generated by CPU.  

It works with 11 bit quality. It's not an actual DAC, it is a digital PWM module (gives a 'pulse width modulated' signal) working with frequency around 40MHz and it is low-pass-filtered. 

The funny thing is, I also rendered the song directly into harddisk and compared it to the version recorded from real R_Pi: and I deleted the rendered file to hell, haha. The original Pi sound is warm'n'soft; doesn't remind thousands of razors. 

Some people say R_Pi isn't good for music. 
They are WRONG.

Yerzmyey - Ursula (part 2)

Many thanks to Wizwars AKA Kevin Gnartinez (https://soundcloud.com/wizwars) for allowing me to cover one of the songs that inspired me to take up the Gameboy as a musical instrument. I kept some aspects true to the original, but there are plenty of personal touches too. Even after listening to this one a million times, it still gets me right in the feels. :')

Handheld Hero (Wizwars)

This is a 4-channels MOD written for ATARI 800 XL / 65XE (Pokey). 
4-bit quality.

One time I watched 7 straight episodes of the anime Michiko to Hatchin with one my best friends, which served as the initial spark of inspiration for this piece. Pic related.

Thank you for listening <3

Michiko

I've just finished a small test of Amiga1200 working with MIDI. 
Hardware: Yamaha QY70 + Amiga 1200 (MIDI).
Software: OctaMED 4.00.

Amiga 1200 - a computer launched in 1992. 14Mhz of Motorola CPU on-board. Mine has 10Mb of RAM. The song surely would work on standard 2Mb, without problems. 

Yamaha QY70 has been released in 1997. It's a very small synthesizer with sequencer (but can also work in MIDI mode), similar in its look to Atari Lynx handheld game-console. 
Sound generation method: AWM2.

OctaMED 4.00 - the series generally has been closed in 1992 (later the program became freeware). 
You can use 16 channels here, in the MIDI mode, however it still works as a tracker, so - for example - You cannot put a chord into one channel: You have to use 3 separate channels to make the chord. 

The full album "DEATH SQUAD" with this song - is here: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl
