i've already played around a bit with beep tracker and my opinion is that the player is in fact working correctly, like alone coder says. if you listen to some of tim follins tunes you get the same kind of flanger effect as on "big beep" (especially if you listen on original 48k or emulators - alone coders demo tracks are rendered from unreal afaik). also note that most of tim follins tunes were not done with this engine, but with more limited players (only 4 channels mostly). also, as people on wos have pointed out, first of all you need a good ear for music to distinguish the harmonies when composing, second of all there are only few chords/harmonies that are not detuned (again, if you listen some examples from tim follin made with the 6 channel engine, it's the same deal, he always uses very specific chords and player is fine-tuned for his compositional habits. same with the flanger effect, it can be controlled up to a certain point (it's somewhat related to how much the overall volume is sustained/decayed). so i'm pretty sure it's a feature of the original code and not a bug. besides, let's not forget follin was very young when he wrote this routine, so it's probably not very clean code. (i think what's happening is that playback rate is changed during playback to achive different volume levels, not only the pulse rate like in other players. therefore you get a flanger effect because of audible artifact frequencies - kind of like the hiss you get on digital 1bit music, but it changes it's frequency. however i'm no expert so i might be wrong about this.)
of course there's one huge problem: the way the editor works is not very suitable for the player routine. some of the 4 minor channels could be combined into a channel where you can enter chords rather than individual notes. but hey- at least we got this routine available in a tracker, after 25 years!
also, the demo tracks, especially "big beep" are really really amazing, i think. as shiru said, no reason not to have them on your site

Being an atheist around here is grounds for death or blacklisting. In my city they put up one of those Dawkins-esque billboards and someone RIPPED THE BILLBOARD DOWN with some sort of large truck or tractor, LOL WTF, a14' x 48' sign.
what the... fucking rednecks
another rather disturbing but extremely well done experimental documentary about people and their pets: Animal Love by Ulrich Seidl (it was banned in several countries so it must be good hehe). btw the guy also made a documentary on christians called Jesus, You Know. Haven't seen it but it's also supposed to be a good one.

yeah it's not a good idea to put special signs into a url. in theory it works but in practise it mostly doesn't.
btw what software do you recommend for digi atari 8bit composing?

Re: Connect (5 replies, posted in Releases)
ok, here's what i think: considering for you having worked with lsdj only for a couple of months, this is pretty impressive work. also some of the melodies are pretty impressive, especially on "The Memory's We Made" (that's aweful grammar though, my friend) and "Lost" (my favourite track of the album).
on the downside, you see there's already a lot of music like this (ie fast happy blippy lsdj pop) already out there on the web and people are getting bored with it. if you want to continue in this style, you basically need to become... really good. so generally you want to be more unique, i guess. for example, you could go for more conceptional beats (like on "Lost") but there's also some things you can improve on the technical side of things.
Let's take "Freedom", for example. Song progression is ok and the melody is beautiful, but does it really carry on a beat like this? Also, try polishing the sounds a bit more, eg put more variation. ah yeah and don't ever use the BRK sample unless you want to make fun of it (and you'll have to try very hard for that considering some previous works by the tin foil hat brigade )
worst track is "LittleSound DanceFloor#1" i think. i think you kinda put it as a filler... don't do that man. only release tracks that you are 100% convinced of (or at least 99% 
)
well anyway thanks for sharing this, don't be depressed because of my critique & keep up teh bit spirit!
edit: damn, i'm complaining about other people's grammar and can't get it right myself

i recommend unreal speccy emulator. beeper sound emulation is still far from being perfect, but at least it's significantly better than on other spectrum emulators.

why would we want that we already have ritter sport
anyway we are doing a micromusic get-together on the last weekend of july, so i'm afraid we won't do another party in august.
so, if you want to do smth. in berlin, better talk to the guys at bleepstreet. ie. i'm going to meet with them sometime this week so i'll let them know about this.

Vytautas, i'm working on a long list of feature requests and bug reports for you. but since i'm pretty much a linux noob this takes a little time. i'm sure you'd appreciate some error msgs along with your bug reports, also i need to sort out which bugs are reproducable and which ones are "accidents" or bad configuration on my side. besides i don't work with neil every day since i've got many projects
so, you'll be hearing from me soon. but sorry i don't want to sign up to your google group since i have an allergy against google
ed: btw you never got back to me about the matilde tracker manual html to pdf conversion?
ed2: and of course, welcome to chipmusic.org
