Hello chiptune fans! I am really excited to announced that as of this post, we have become part of the Pitchfork Media family! We are very excited about getting the chance to bring news of our community to a wider audience. I am about to jump on a flight to work more on intergrating our news archive into their database, but we will begin syndicating their content immediately and update throughout the coming weeks. Please let us know what longer featured articles we should work on in the comments, and wish us luck in this exciting new endeavor!

Hi. Last times Shiru released several incredible new sound-engines for ZX Spectrum 48K and its beeper, with various number of channels, various synthesis possibilities, and so on. I decided to test each and every of them and – here are my results. OCTODE engine provides 9 channels of sound (8 tones + drums). QCHAN engine allows to use 5 channels (4 tones + drums) with various envelopes of instruments and numerous level of volumes. TRITONE engine gives 4 channels (3 tones + drums). Also it gives various modulations and volumes plus pretty rich set of drums. LyndonSharp engine is well-known 1-bit sound engine from 80s. Shiru reverse-engineered it so now it’s usable again. The engine has 3 channels, expressive sound and many cool drums. All the engines can be found on WOS forum: |
