Re: Great ZX Spectrum Demo(s) (14 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
On the other hand, I like (of course 
) demos for Spectrum48.
Not many of them appeared in the newschool style but...
Really incredible work for a computer with sizes like a calculator.

besides, it's a well-known fact that on speccy, loading from tape is faster than loading from floppy, if done right.
Well, yes - it's possible with this program http://zxspectrum48.i-demo.pl/k7zx.zip (also with easy possibility to make WAVs) but sadly it loads quickly only *.sna/*.z80 snapshots.
So you will be able to load any program but your own data (like songs) will be loaded and saved with normal speed (still the fastest among all 8bit computers. But still slow ).

After all. The best way is to get the CF interface. It's called divIDE.
Some systems can SAVE. I don't know any details but it works.
Infos: http://baze.au.com/divide/
The best way to get the device is from here:

Hi there.
NOBODY never said that Amstrad Spectrums have input. Mostly because they DON'T.
+2 / +2A / +2B has NO sound input. Don't know about +3 (should have but....... who knows).
Sound must go through an _AMPLIFIER_. in 99% of case it will not work with direct mp3=>ZX way. It's too silent.
Bass/trebles on equalizer: flat.
Stereo panorama - full into left (or right, depending how it's connected - you will see the difference instantly ).
Software - the easiest (in my opiion) would be http://zxspectrum48.i-demo.pl/st_1_1.zip
For MP3-players' users: convertor TAP=>WAV is: http://zxspectrum48.i-demo.pl/tap2wav.zip
(then you code the WAV into MP3, 192Kbps should do the trick. That's what I use anyway).
The Tape Adapter for +2/a/b isn't very good. Sometimes it works - and sometimes it doesn't. Depends on air pressure in northern hemisphere or whatever else.
SON - a Spanish Spectrum or similar? That's sound OUTput only. Sadly.

Ah well, some of them are not so bad.
Anyway, if you are looking for AY editors, then use this one
http://zxspectrum48.i-demo.pl/st_1_1.zip (the simpliest, I suspect)
or this one

if you mean to change tempo in general, it is of course possible on any Spectrum music editor.
However in you mean BMP in detail, than I don't think you'd find anything like that.
As for arpeggios, I suspect you'd have to make them manually.
Remember that's a 48Kb RAM computer made in 1982.

I'm joking.
Thanks, everything's OK. Actually yesterday finished a song with some detune/phase experiments, heh. Maybe later I will try to record it and upload somewhere.

Re: SAM COUPE - SAA 1099 PSG (6channels stereo) (23 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
Yes. it's a cool machine.
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.
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.
