Boddrick:
So here they are:
http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/Yerzmyey-Haun … tracks.zip
The all 3 separately recorded traxx. Also, now You can hear how it has been done. Sometimes there is bass, bassdrum and snare altogether in one channel, heh.
Btw, originally the song was looped so here it ends suddenly as the loop had to be removed of course.
Hehe, let me know if You have anything.




SketchMan3:
ZX Spectrum has 2 sound-sources: beeper and AY.
The Beepola tracker is for beeper. I use the AY instead.
For composing I use a native Spectrum tracker which is ZX SoundTracker 1.1.
However You can use a PC cross-platform tracker - Vortex II.

The stuff composed for GameBoy was made for AY originally, as far as I remember.

Greetzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. wink

Haha, I hear You mate. smile

OK, I get it.
Well, it's partly possible. I mean - ZX has 3 tracks only. But it has more generators. Hence - usually the arpeggios + hihats + snare are in one and the same track. Bass and the bassdrum are in another one. And commonly the third track goes with lead instrument. But of course it changes while the entire song (due to few channels people have to make some strange variations sometimes wink ).
But the separation for 3 tracks is strict and easy to record... separately. wink
So I will do it and upload here, probably today, in the evening. And You will see if it's useful.
Thx a lot!
Yerz

Well, it was kinda experiment, we could say.
Making some heavy/brutal stuff for YM/AY chip with its single speed (50hz) is rather risky. wink
Those chips haven't any super-hyper developed synthesis, You know.
That's why people use them mostly for melodic music rather than hard electro/breakz stuff.

Another thing is making YM/AY music with 4-times speed (200hz). Then the chips show their full power (like in STU's productions for Atari ST) but this mode of work isn't actually available for ZX Spectrum because our CPU is too slow (3,5Mhz only).

But still, I wanted to give it a try and make something less melodic and more 'aggressive' this time.

The next - 'Japanese' - album entitled "Microsongs" will be melodic again (with exception of one dubstep song).

Best wishes smile
Yerz

PS: I suspect the brutal stuff could sound better from 2 AY chips (TurboSound) but it wasn't the idea, this time.

A very good video indeed.

Thanks for the technical info man, that's what I like.
OK, I will listen to the stuff today!

Hehe, cheerz dude smile but for now there will be some regular chiptunes album, this time although not the cheerful stuff nor trance/ambient, but some more aggressive electro/breakbeat on YM2149 / AY-3-8910.
Will keep ya informed, guyzzzzzzz. wink

No problem dude smile

Since today is possible to vote on various ZX Spectrum works (music/pictures/demos) with this site:
