1-Bit ZX Beeper album for the ZX Spectrum

Play the whole music album on a ZX Spectrum emulator such as FUSE or load into a real machine - press 'n' for next tune

This is the first time this compilation has been made available in this form, including the original Raw Spectronica tunes and the bonus track 'March Of the Biomech' added.

Some of the tunes use the QCHAN beeper engine by Shiru which is similar to the engine used by Tim Follin in the 1980s but is also quite thin so the volume and BASS should be turned up for these.

Track list:

1. LOADING (uses the QCHAN engine)

2. Space Beeps Pt.1 (QCHAN)

3. March of the Biomech (Phaser 3 engine)

4. P.F.M. (QCHAN)

5. Space Beeps Pt.2 (Phaser 1 engine)

6. Beeper X (QCHAN)

7. Temporal Beeper (ZBMod V2 engine)

8. Cyber Imperial (QCHAN)

9. Rude Beeps (ZBMod V2 engine)

10. Electrostatic (Phaser 3)

11. Still Fascinated (QCHAN)

12. Spectronica full length (Pytha engine)

13. Space Beeps PT 1 - 5 (full length tune)

14. Difficult for Cyborgs (QCHAN)

15. Beautiful Island Pulse Waves (QCHAN)

16. Shades of Follin 1 (the original version with extra samples before it became Xenoblast (Phaser 3)

17. Shades of Follin 2 (QCHAN)

18. 1-bit Mechanoid (Phaser 1/QCHAN/speech synth)

This is some seriously shit hot beeper music !! 😁

Currently enjoying these on my 48K Speccy. It still managed to get stuck repeating the final part of Space Beeps (Pt1-5), however. (pressing any key just restarted that part)

Just tested v1.1 on Spectaculator and FUSE and it seemed to work OK. You can skip the individual parts of Space beeps (1-5) after the first beepy part by pressing a key. Then at the end press 'n' to load the next tune

Cool !

Nice vid. Thanks, I've now updated Space Beeps (Pt1-5) so it stops at the end of the tune and doesn't repeat

Great !
