Beepola v1.00.00 Appeared

“Beepola is a new multi-channel, multi-engined, tracker-style Beeper music editor for Windows (although it should also run perfectly well on Linux or MacOS with a reasonably recent install of WINE).”

From the Post:

By “multi-engined” I mean that, once you’ve got a tune entered (or partially entered) you can listen to it (or compile it) using one of two “Tone Generators” – currently either a modified version of the Special FX 2ch+percussion engine, or a heavily modified pattern-based version of the beeper routine from “The Music Box”.

Here are some sample tunes I’ve created with it (all are *.tap files ready for loading into your favourite emulator):-
Chuck Rock – Core Design One of my all-time favourite game tunes (I had this game for the Sega Game Gear, although I think it was also available for the Amiga).
Cars – Gary Numan Some obligatory 1980’s goodness.
Root Beer Rag – Billy Joel Just because I like the tune
The Great Escape Theme Based on the full orchestral arrangement from the film, possibly a little too ambitious for a beeper tune. Not convinced it really works too well.
