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).

Yerzmyey - Break Space

Track from my new EP called "Mainstream".
Already available to download on BleepLove.ru!

All You Want

Track written to accompany the Choice Provisions game BIT.TRIP FLUX. I wanted to complement the game's theme and atmosphere, &amp; what came out was seven minutes of Game Boy space disco, sort of equal parts pensive, purposeful, and melodic.

Available as part of the BIT.TRIP FLUX Original Soundtrack digital album:
· Bandcamp: https://totallychoice.bandcamp.com/album/bit-trip-flux-original-soundtrack

My track off of Chiptunes = WIN Volume 4!  Can you believe this thing came together in just 4 days??  And then I slept for a week.

For those curious, most of the basses were created in GMS, a default synth in FL Studio

Mptrack now lets you easily export all played instruments individually (not just channels!)– which makes remastering tracker tunes a lot easier. Here's a fun .xm by Joule & Malmen. Original:
https://soundcloud.com/jooel-2/joel-kristoffer-one-way-heart

Remaster: Joule & Malmen - One Way Heart

A remastered extended version of the song made for the 2006 Candela demo of the same name.

For once I actually have the old project files around, albeit not usable on my current workstation. I instead set up a WinXP VM with all my old plugins and DAW:s so I could export and reference the stuff I used. The MIDI notes and Kontakt instruments were easily exportable to FL Studio, and the only casualty was the Cubase-specific filter plugin Tonic which I had to replicate as well as I could. I also added back some parts that were cut out of the demo for time, and replaced some drums to improve the mix.

A shout-out must go to the z3ta+ VSTi and its great implementation of Hermode tuning. It's what makes the signature sound of this track possible, having such aggressive distorsion without all the mud that comes from equal-tempered tuning.
