snicklin Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Nice music as always. Technically great too. Is there a link to a table of the differences between all the different versions? There's a lot of formats now, but if I was to use one of the formats, how would I know which one to choose without going through all of the features of each one? It'd be good if it had values like: Format Name: <name> Player Exists For: Atari / Spectrum ... etc. Drum Channels: 1 Tone Channels: 2 Notable features: Uses less CPU time than <other format> Does such a table exist?

xxl Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Here is a description of various engines and editors that you can use (I recommend BEEPOLA and 1TRACKER) http://battleofthebits.org/lyceum/View/zxbeep%20(format) use this engine, which according to you generate best sound. all they taking almost 100% CPU time meanwhile Phaser1 almost finished: original: http://battleofthebits.org/arena/Entry/Doris+Clawford+Theme/4521/ atari: http://atari.pl/doris.mp3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+slx Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) This is amazing but could someone explain how this actually works? I do think I know what GTIA does normally but how is it "bent" to make music instead of graphics? Thanks!

snicklin Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 As far as I understand, the GTIA is able to make a sound, just the click when you type. If you switch it on and off enough times in a second, you can make different sounds. Please correct me if I am wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 There are 4 I/O pins on GTIA, this is a carry over from the TIA in the 2600. The TIA was used to read 3 of the console switches. Since there was a single I/O pin left, it can be used for outputting. Since there is only 1-bit resolution, you have to switch it incredibly fast in order to make a tone. This is where the magic lies - getting multiple channels of digitized sound pushed through the chip with the limited CPU bandwidth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iesposta Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 @iesposta here my attempt to 1bit sqeeker engine on a2600 @w1k have you made a video? show. @xxl I have the binary. It is awesome. You have not shared any source, so I asked about playing these 8-bit squeeks on the 2600 TIA. I would like to compose my own as well. @w1k I own an XE and an 800XL.

Xuel Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 player fixed: Cool! It's much better but I still think it still slows down a little bit in the rapid arpeggio sections at 0:20-0:23 and 0:53-0:55 whereas the original has constant tempo throughout. But I'm probably pickier than most about such things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
