  • Beepola updated to 1.06

    Beepola, a Windows cross-tracker with multiple 1-bit sound engines from ZX Spectrum, has been updated to v1.06. This time there are just few fixes, however some more sound functionality was added too.

    Download Beepola v1.06 (825K) 

    ChangeLog:

    – Fixed compatibility with WINE (caused by differences between the way WINE handles waveOut API compared to Windows). This was inadvertently broken in versions 1.03.00 – v1.05.03.
    – Improved sound reproduction and timing.
    – Added ROMBeep engine as a compile-time only option (see the Beeper Engine dropdown list in the Compile dialog). This is a compact, pseudo 2 channel engine using arpeggios and the BEEP routine from the Spectrum ROM. It will therefore work correctly on 16K Spectrums or in low, contended, memory on other models.

  • protrekkr updated to 2.5

    “ProTrekkr (formerly known as NoiseTrekker by Juan Antonio Arguelles Rius aka Arguru) is a tracker program combining a software synthesizer together with a traditional samples tracker which can be used to create electronic music (like psytrance, trance goa, hard acid, IDM, chip, techno, etc.) for small sized intros, demos or games.”

    (jump to previous/next letter group for files lists).
    – Added 13 new (converted) modules for testing purposes
    also improved (?) older modules to take advantage of new features.
    – A file name can now be passed as argument to the tracker, it will
    be loaded at startup (can load any file recognized by the tracker).

    – Improved .mod/.ft import.
    – Glide effect (5) should now work with synth instruments.
    – Tracks data weren’t displayed properly sometimes.

    – Added effect 25: Set shuffle value.
    – Metronome implemented (used during recording).
    – Fullscreen mode is now used with current screen resolution.
    – Handled latency at recording startup (so visuals should be synched to audio).

  • X’2010 round up part 1 – Graphics

    The X demoparty in Holland happened last weekend, and like every time, it’ s the end-all be-all of Commodore 64 demoparties. Its legendary status has been gained for having breakthroughs in C64 coding happen every time it takes place, and this year it has been no different.

    The number of releases in this edition has been very high, showing a welcome rise in C64 demoscene activity and it also has brought back into the scene a lot of well known names from back in the day, who were retired.

    I’ll start up with gathering the releases happening in the GRAPHICS competition. I’ll show you my highlights after the jump, in reverse order of personal preference. You can compare with the actual X’ ranking to see how varied each person’s view can be:
