It's been great seeing all the photos on various socials about the RetroFest 2026 show which I wasn't able to make this year to show what I do for #SAMCoupe, #RC2014 and #ZXSpectrum

The 10% off offer across the entire range of peripherals I make for RC2014 / RCbus / Compatibles are running until Friday. All the info at: https://2014.samcoupe.com

Keep your #ZXSpectrum AY tunes accurately pitch perfect! Save £5 this weekend on my ZXTT (ZX True Tone) module. Originally designed for Ed Brindley's AY/YM Soundcard for #RC2014 but easy enough to incorporate into your own AY-3-8910/12 & YM2149 circuits, or hack into other AY Interfaces to feed them the correct 128K clock signal. (I've seen a lot of ZX Spectrum AY add-ons use 1.75MHz which is NOT the correct frequency!)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@samster/116093908713088888

(1/2) Thanks for the mention Samster. My journey with SID and the Z80 started way, way back in 2002, working out how to get it to play happily when connected to a fast Zilog Z80 bus on the SAM Coupe, rather than the MOS6510 it was designed for.

2003 saw the first commercial version of my SID Interface for the SAM Coupe. It's had a few tweaks in the years since and is still available.

In 2020 I was asked if the interface would work on the RC2014 (Thanks Shiela!). Replied no, but then a few weeks later, yes!, having redesigned the interface in a version specifically for the RC2014 bus and integrating an interrupt controller for 50/60/100Hz - ideal for use with other soundchips too! This version has also had a few tweaks over the last six years since release, currently on v1.3.

Can't add photos due to the 'quote' so will add a reply to this post with photos... (Nice to see this now implemented in Mastodon!)

Кросс-трекеры: ретро-музыка на современном ПК

Я не раз обращался к теме музыкальных редакторов системы «трекер». Казалось бы, сколько можно, горшочек, не вари. Но этих программ насчитывается сотни, и несмотря на сходство до степени смешения, созданы они с разными намерениями, посвящены решению различных задач, а к их появлению привели исторические причины разной степени занимательности. В то же время, эта нишевая тема, развивавшаяся десятилетиями, почти не имела выхода за пределы специализированных сообществ в формате обзорных публикаций для массового читателя. А значит, можно и нужно продолжать её раскрывать. Сегодня уделю пристальное внимание явлению «кросс-трекеров» — программ для современных ПК и операционных систем типа Windows и Linux, позволяющих создавать музыку для различных старых компьютеров, игровых приставок и прочих подобных устройств, а точнее, для их музыкальных синтезаторов. Зачем, почему, что происходит, кто здесь — как обычно, сейчас разберёмся во всех этих животрепещущих вопросах.

Another old soundchip or rather melody chip in this case, that I picked up in Tandy in 1989 and soldered up in a circuit once I had an iron and had been taught to solder during a couple days of work experience at an electronic company during high school. This was the first microchip I'd bought, exciting times!

The chip is the UM3482A which has 12 tunes built in and 3 instrument waveforms. Sadly, I don't have the packaging or datasheet any more, but this is still my original bit of stripboard from back then. It's had the odd running repair over the years to resolder the wires and the push button switch has been replaced once.

(For more soundchip tinkerings see the soundchip interfaces I've designed and released for #RC2014 and compatible systems in recent times: SID from the #C64, SAA1099P from the #SAMCoupe, plus my ZXTT module to clock your AY/YM at the exact frequency of the 128K #ZXSpectrum! https://2014.samcoupe.com [End of plug! 😜 ])

Another old soundchip or rather melody chip in this case, that I picked up in Tandy in 1989 and soldered up in a circuit once I had an iron and had been taught to solder during a couple days of work experience at an electronic company during high school. This was the first microchip I'd bought, exciting times!

The chip is the UM3482A which has 12 tunes built in and 3 instrument waveforms.

Not been about for a bit so let's start catching up! A video of my SAA1099P Soundchip Interface for RC2014 / RCbus systems being used on a ZX Spectrum, connected via my ZX-RC Bus Interface. The SAA1099P gives six sound channels, with stereo volume registers for each channel. The SAA1099P was made popular for chiptunes by its use in the SAM Coupe computer - the system I've been developing on over the last 32 years!

More info / Purchase the interfaces: https://2014.samcoupe.com

The music playing on the ZX Spectrum was created for the SAA soundchip using E-Tracker music software on the SAM Coupe, the tune being a rendition of the C64 game music from Thing On A Spring, with this version composed for the SAA soundchip by David Sanders.

The E-Tracker player code itself has not required any modification, but I coded a simple IM2 interrupt wrapper for it to play on the Spectrum.
