Yawn.
I'm bored. Nobody writes about 48K machines lately.

So maybe it's a good opportunity to mention - this month appeared 4 engines for Spectrum48 (3 new and one reverse-engineered, from 80s).
Plus one without editor yet (it will be later implemented into Beepola2).

The trick is, one can write music in XM format. Pretty nice, huh? wink Shiru has made the job.
Engines:
Octode
QChan
Tritone
LyndonSharp
Phaser2 (without editor yet).

Check out the WOS forum http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/f … y.php?f=18

If you want MP3 recordings of the engines sound, I can upload something.

Greetings,

________EDIT___________
Aha, one problem - recording from emulator is actually pointless. They're too complicated for emulation. However some post-processing might help.

Ne7: it's a real fun. However - including first attempts to figure out what's working how. wink

Sadly at the moment I have no time to upload more examples (I'm at work), so I uploaded only one
http://z80.i-demo.pl/MISTER_BEEP-The_nuthouse.mp3
from LyndonSharp 3-channels engine.

The rest I will simply take from old uploads, maybe it would be useful for somebody -
OCTODE - http://chipmusic.org/mister+beep/music/spring-is-coming
QChan - https://8bc.org/music/MISTER+BEEP/Galac … +usual%29/

I finish my first TRITONE song so for now I have no recordings from Timex. sad
Anyway - more/less that's how they sound.

OK then, finally I managed to record the Tritone sound.

Very minimal, in a good way.

What's this about Beepola2?! And on a related note, are all of these eventually going to make their way to Beepola(2?) or is there some criteria for what engines are included? I'm not too good at XM tongue .

There will be the second brand new version. If Ccowley has time.

It is possible. I didn't asked him but I suspect so.
New Beepola has to be totally re-written to implement any new engines. Hence the "2" version.
