OK, now that's a cool curiosity.

I always suspected but I wasn't sure (one never can be sure about ancient classic machines) if SampleTracker (digital music) and SoundTracker (chipmusic) on ZX Spectrum both have the same tempo.

So - seems like they have.

It might give interesting possibilities of mixing two playing machines - one part of the song built of samples and the second one - constructed as a pure chiptune.
6 channels in result. Really interesting...

PS: I found Edit. Actually Edit/Stop combinations, because they hidden it in one place.
Which is.....
The MODE indicator.
Yes. Congratz.

It can't be even bitten by a hiding-place of Fine-Tune button from Atari ST's ProTracker.
Where You have to press... VOLUME to set up the FINE TUNE.
Wow.

Dude, no PC=NA?

OK, I will listen to the stuff today.
Thx.

> SQ Tracker and Sample Tracker was my main tools in the days of ZX Spectrum (for those who don't know, it was created by people from Czech republic, SQ is shortcut of Scalex and Qjeta (very very good musicians)). I think it was MQM2 demo from MQM team where was for first time showcased capabilities of Sample tracker.
--------------------
Yupp - old and classic stuff.

> but for us musicians it is more important that you can implement 8-bit D/A converter into that port and experience quality of sample playback almost as on Amiga, instead of 4-bit playback on AY chip.
-------------------
yes, that's what I meant by "covox" because that's how Russians called it in their 2.1 version (for TR-DOS) although it still uses only 3 channels instead of typical 4ch.

> so i later purchased spanish ZX Spectrum 128k+ with Datel +D disk interface with 3,5" drive and some additional hw, which was zillion times more stable.
------------------
Well, the 2.1 is only for 128K machines - BUT - its final file/module must work on 48K (by design), so it is interesting. And thanx to 128K version of the tracker, it can for instance use many more octaves (even played later on 48K).

> However I don't actually care about sound quality, I'm planning to use it for beeper
------------------
As for the sound quality beeper/AY/covox, those all versions are not different, I think.
However - of course - on beeper You can't really make the trick with delays (two samples with different volume).
On beeper You'd have to play the same sample in 2 channels, and the delay - in one channel only. Then it should work.

Haha, cool.

I'm glad I could help.
Actually sooner or later I will be trying to get one myself too.

Hi, Oxygene,

> I see all these fancy pants CF card reader devices (internal and external) for Amigas where you can run the whole OS off of a CF card. I imaganie that would be ideal since the hard drive is very old now. I couldn't seem to find one that is made for the Atari ST models, and keep in mind I am not some electronics mastermind, so the DIY ones would not be a good option for me. I would like to get the IDE plug n play ones.
I am aware of this one: http://afs.atari.org/satandisk.htm
---------------------------
You can get the device from here: http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=90

> But uses external power? Is that how they all will need to be run for the ST's?? And it looks to external, which I would prefer internal.
-----------------
The one I mentioned is internal.

Best wishes,
Yerz
