An Experiment – Two Spectrums Playing Chiptune and Digi Music

posted by TecSoft



This is really a proof of concept, Yerzmyey made for the idea of playing simultaneously two ZX Spectrum computers, where one is playing chiptune music and the second one is playing digital music (6 channels in total).

One Spectrum is playing a chiptune part from ZX SoundTracker 1.1. The second Spectrum is playing a 3-channels 4-bit digi-music from SampleTracker 2.1.

Listen it at soundcloud.com.

GenTape v0.20 Released

posted by TecSoft


GenTape is an utility for developers. It creates TAP, TZX and WAV files from binary files. The idea is that you use this utility if you want to release a new game, because with the same command line you can create 3 differents formats.

It supports 7 types of TZX blocks (from ID 10 to ID 15 and ID 20). By now the instructions are in Spanish, but the brief command line help is in English and its easy to understand.

The last version is here.
