Apparently my life needed more Atari. I feel better now.

Thx for doing such great stuff on the YM!

Omg !!! Such great sound with the YM is just amazing. Congrats to you Ultrasyd. Awesome. Can't stop to listen, listen and listen :-)

excellent melodies, excellent production. happy ears. 😀

Way back in the stone age of digital composing, it was possible for one person to store a musical project in a tiny 500 KB file, send to to a different person halfway across the area code (because good lord dialing long distance was for madmen) and every note, sample and delicious pitch bend would be right there. Kinda neat when you think about it.

This track started its life at the desk of Radix / Mosaik / The One Of Several Names, whose creations have always blown my socks off with their restrained glee and wonder. The man builds miracles just because he can, and doesn't show off -- in stark contrast to myself, whose first instinct on this collab was to add horns, MORE DRUMS and a timbale solo. Of course he was right in humbly suggesting we dial that shit down a notch, and so the track was released unto the world.

With permission from Radix, then, here it is in its restored glory. And the timbale solo is back.

I think the rhythm was inspired by "Ott - A Shower of Sparks", one of my favourite tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH-umujWEGE

Soundtrack from "Electricity" - Amiga 64kb intro by Appendix from 2000. The original file is only 10 kilobytes big :) It was made in AHX tracker - one of the best synth music editors on planet earth!

Well, theoretically ZX Spectrum (and other computers with AY chip inside) have no sampler - only a digital synthesizer. 
But when the AY is being linked to any CPU chip (Z80 in my case) - it can actually be used as a sampler too. 
With the Z80 power, ZX Spectrum 48K can play 3 channels of digital music through the AY-interface, with 4-bit quality  (btw, it can do it via ULA too, but in 1-bit quality). The SampleTracker software has no volume commands, so - to achieve delays  :) - I have to make the same sample twice: the louder one, and the more silent one, heheh. That takes RAM away, of course, which is crap because I have only 48K of RAM on ZX Spectrum ;) (even less, actually, hehhe). 
Italo-disco for life. :) 

My kind regards & respect to other digital musicians of 8-bit computers:

3 channels, 4-bit quality lo-fi micromusic.
Recorded from real ZX Spectrum.

The song comes from "Astral Combat" album, that is downloadable from here: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/

PS: To check out how Atari ST (with its far more powerful Motorola CPU) deals with AY as a sampler, check out this link: https://soundcloud.com/yerzmyey/ym-digital-draconus-a-cover
