1tracker a multplatform chiptune cross-tracker, a ‘multitracker’ for short.
Primary goal of the project is to provide an easy way to use many 1-bit music engines for ZX Spectrum with an universal user interface, and to simplify adding support for new engines.
Secondary goal is to make a proof of concept for ‘one interface – multiple platforms – multiple sound engines’ tracker design. This is achieved by using a combination of SDL-based multiplatform front end that needs to be recompiled for every platform with platform independent music engine modules that contain the engines itself with all needed extra code to make them work with the editor.
Capabilities of the multitracker aren’t limited to the 1-bit music. It is possible to add support for almost any format supported by Game_Music_Emu through writing new external engine modules.

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. via 1-bit music news –.
 And let beep sort it out. In a followup to our previous post, got the following tip from b00Daw: Pwners of the “A8b” — Atari 8-bit — scene, XXL and other Poles, have made demonstation of the GTIA’s abilities to play music from its normal ‘clicky’ nature. By porting over some Z80 ZX Spectrum routines, the team was able to create a music disk cheekily named “Beep’em All” for the A8b which utilizes the POKEY and GTIA sound chips while still managing display through the ANTIC chip. GTIA “clicker” sounds almost exactly like Speccy’s beeper with this late innovation. MP3s: |
