Thanks to Irrlitch Project for creating his yawp ZX Spectrum 1bit sound engine, Rolemusic for putting the compo together and Caotix for the extra patience and early criticism. This tracks isn't really too much of a piece of music, in fact it seems like I'm repeating myself forever but otherwise is a magnificient experiment with a experimental chipmusic engine as yawp is.

Enjoy!

New track for the Fairchild Channel F (aka VES, Saba Videoplay et al), the oldest cartridge-based video game console. 1st place in the channelf category at the recent BotB Winter Chip IX. Made with my own SleizsaDuo routine, which is available at https://github.com/utz82/SleizsaDuo .

ZBMOD is probably the most complex ZX Spectrum 1-bit music routine I've written so far.  It mixes 3 channels of arbitrary-length PCM samples. So it's like the notorious SampleTracker used in some tracks by Mister Beep, but arguably with much improved sound.

Testing my latest 1-bit sound driver. Beepertoy is a meta-engine, which supports a range of different 1-bit synthesis types. It can emulate the sound of popular engines like Tritone and Octode, perform complex wavetable synthesis, and more. Sadly, the complexity of this engine means there won't be an XM converter for it.

Beepertoy v0.1 test

Testing a new sound engine for the ZX Spectrum beeper. Squeeker Plus adds several new features to the original Squeeker by zilogat0r, including drums, duty cycle envelopes, noise, and more. It sounds quite Metal, so a Metal demo track it is!

Squeeker Plus Test (ZX Spectrum Beeper)

Composed in musescore and rendered with 1tracker using the pytha engine.
Made and recorded a few months ago on real ZX Spectrum hardware. 

I'm posting it here now to announce the release today of my #dungeonsynth album, which contains this composition, with a very different rendition (DX7 synth), here it is: https://garvalf.bandcamp.com/track/alb-iser-valdersta-waltz

Valse de la Sorcière (ZX Spectrum version)

A track from my new music collection/demo for TI82 graphic calculators.
