More info:
The program idea was to break some of limits existing at the time allowing:
– fast and quality replay routs;
– up to 16 voices mixing on STF with full volume control;
– sample size up to 24 bits;
– 255 samples;
– 256 patterns;
– variable sample base frequency to allow better quality samples;

Johan has provided a nice new treat, and released the experimental build of LSDJ with midi out designed by Trash80.
There are 3 new modes:
– LIVEMAP – Lsdj will use its own clock, but a incoming midi note will
cue midi note # to song row # in live mode.– SYNCMAP – Lsdj will sync to incoming MIDI sync, and notes
immediately change the song row #.– MIDIOUT – LSDJ to MIDIOUT. Each of the 4 gameboy channels send MIDI
data on 4 midi channels by the use of effects commands:
– N – Sends a MIDI Note – Absolute to the value placed in the
effect. N00 sends note off, N01-N6F send notes 1 to 112.
– Q – Sends a MIDI Note relative to the current channel’s pitch. The
effect value is a offset. so Q0C in PU1 would send a note 1 octave
higher than what Pu1 is currently playing. This is useful as a table
command to track midi notes as normal notes in the sequencer.
– X – Sends a MIDI CC – By default in Arduinoboy the high nibble
selects a CC#, and the low nibble sends a value [0-F] to [0-127]. This
can be changed to allow just 1 midi CC with a range of 00-6F, or 7 CCs
with scaled or unscaled values.
– Y – Sends a program/patch/preset change.
There is also a new official version with the following fixes:
011-04-03: v4.0.9
* bugfix: repaired PC keyboard sync, has been broken since v3.9.a.
sorry :( big thanks to Hannes Kraettli for report & help.
* bugfix: copy instrument names when cloning. thx to Didrik.2011-04-03: v4.1.0
* bugfix: repair PC keyboard sync for real. thx to Hannes Kraettli.
I have been using the midi out hacks for a few months now and it is pretty stable, and extremely useful, so check it out!

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).
Test result:
QCHAN engine allows to use 5 channels (4 tones + drums) with various envelopes of instruments and numerous level of volumes.
Test result
TRITONE engine gives 4 channels (3 tones + drums). Also it gives various modulations and volumes plus pretty rich set of drums.
Test result:
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.
tests’ result:
All the engines can be found on WOS forum:
