Some people from Sinclair's company have left it to make a new ZX Spectrum compatible model by themselves. What is interesting, Sam Coupe wasn't a developed version of ZX 128K, but it was a developed version of ZX48K. smile
Of course contemporary it can also handle Spectrum128's programs but that's a different story of nowadays coders. http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/s … hp?t=29437
It would be nice to have one however they are most rare and _really_ expensive.

For example, the generator only works on two of the six voices, and the two noise sources can only be controlled by the frequency of two voices or it can be set to two set frequencies. So as such, to my mind it makes more sense to just have a "magic box" as you say.

However, I am not aware of LGPT works - is it not able to send MIDI CC data?

I made a MIDI interface for the chip, with control over all of the registers via MIDI CC including:
• panning
• expression (volume)
• all envelope registers
• all noise-related registers
• musically sensible pitch bends

SAA 1099 channels are mapped to MIDI channel 1 to 6.

Quick demo: http://chipmusic.org/little-scale/music … t-saa-1099

I'm thinking of getting a couple of PCB boards made up at some stage - would anyone be interested? Just a thought...
