Damn, dude, you've gotten great!!  this is kick a$$

Nice chiptune with a lot of movements in the sounds, fav + greets:)

Just a small funky/jazzy song that comes from my 2013 album "Microsongs" that can be listened from here: http://cheapbeatsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/microsongs
I made it for ZX Spectrum 16K with AY-interface but of course 16K is too small ram for a reasonable tracker, so the song has been composed on ZX Spectrum 48K + AY-interface (ZX SoundTracker 1.1).
Recorded from real hardware. 

OFFICIAL VIDEOCLIP with live drums and synths:

Synthesizers - Yerzmyey
Drums - Pinokio
Sequences go from ZX Spectrum with TurboSound (2 AY chips).

Videoclip made by Larek, in 2015. 


PS: "Ai" means "Love" in Japanese. :) The album has been released by Japan-based label CheapBeats (Tokyo). 

Yerzmyey - Ai

Very jazzy house/type with trumpets & vibes 

7, Its a trumpet thing II

One chiptune made on two classic 8-bit machines from 1982: Spectrum 48 & Commodore 64. :) 
Composed by YERZMYEY (ZX48) & RIO (C64).
Chip editors used: SoundTracker on ZX and DMC on C=. 
Mixed by Rio Rattenrudel. 

Made in 2010.

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. :)

ZX Spectrum 48K + AY-interface. 
Software: SampleTracker.
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

Yerzmyey - Kaminari

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy. After 8 months of silence I give You the ATARI 520ST track! (YM2149 chip). 3 channels. Made with the MusicMon editor.

Yerzmyey - Temple of Asherah

OK, like I promised - a chiptune for the New Year party. ;) ZX Spectrum 48k with AY-interface, 3 channels, ZX SoundTracker 1.1. 
HNY! ;)

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

Yerzmyey - Jophar Vorin of Laxaria

The music has been made for the NES / FamiCom / Pegasus game-consoles. 

They contains Ricoh 2A03 soundchip with 5 channels of sound: 
- two pulse channels,
- one triangle channel, 
- one noise channel and 
- one DPCM (sample) channel.

This is my very first song for the NES. :)

After a night of messing about with this song I decided to put it on the Clouds EP :) Here is the final version with some minor changes here and there

Breaking and Entering

I started to make chiptunes on ZX Spectrum computer, in 1989. ZX Spectrum 48K has 1-bit sound by default, but one can also connect an AY-interface to the machine (existing since its very beginning in 1982 and even earlier because first AY-interfaces have been built for ZX81 computer - 1981).

Anyway - then Spectrum48 has the same sound-abilities what Spectrum128, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST or MSX have (they use the same chip standard: AY/YM). It means 4-bit sound, 3 channels + white noise generator, square wave and several 'buzzers'. Or - instead of it - I can use 3 channels of 4-bit digital sound with the AY, but then I have to fit all samples in 48Kb of RAM. :)

In case of chip-music, as "standard capabilities" I understand AY/YM working in 50hz (Atari ST can use this chip with 200hz of speed which gives the Atarians better audio effects due to their more powerful CPU - 16-bit, 8MHz. Cry cry!!).
So that's my weapon of choice: ZX Spectrum 48K with AY-interface. 

For making chiptunes I use ZX Spectrum's Sound-Tracker 1.1 and for digital MOD-like music I use SampleTracker 2.0 and 2.1.

In 1994 I started to make music also for Amiga 500 (MOD / MED files) on OctaMED, but they were 4 channels traxx mostly - in 99%. :) We made only several 8 channels tracks on OctaMED but it was pretty hard task for old good A500, so usually I stick with 4ch. :)

In 2002 I founded AY-RIDERS band. We play chiptunes on our Spectrums (48K, 128K and higher models). AY-RIDERS' music can be found here: http://ay-riders.speccy.cz/ (My own music You can find here: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/ ).

Some time later I started to make more music for Atari ST and STe (mostly digital, but also some chiptunes).
That's how the YM-DIGITAL band appeared in 2010: http://ym-digital.i-demo.pl/ - there are 2 albums for all enthusiasts of ym2149 chip and digital oldschool music.

In 2012 I bought an Amiga 1200 and was able to start making full 8-channels digital songs for the platform (with independent volumes). That's how the "RetroBeat" album appeared, for all fans of Amiga, and also for fans of retro-computer-music.

From time to time I make songs for Atari Falcon 030 (10 channels of digital music, on DHS-Tracker). 

In 2015 I bought a British microcomputer Raspberry Pi 2 (smaller than the human hand-palm :) ), and I make some music on it, too. 

So, in short, my software/hardware usually are: 
SoundTracker on ZX81;
E-Tracker on SAM Coupe computer (Spectrum Advanced Machine);
MusicMon on ATARI 520ST;
DigiComposer on ATARI 520ST;
ProTracker on ATARI 520 ST;
Hex-Tracker on ATARI 520ST;
Octalyser on ATARI 1040 STE;
OctaMED on AMIGA 500;
DigiBooster on AMIGA 1200;
Digital Home Studio (DHS-Tracker) on ATARI Falcon 030
MilkyTracker on Raspberry Pi
.............and many others............................
