New ZX Spectrum Beeper Engine: fluidcore
Expanding on the ideas from my recently released “wtfx” player, I’ve created another new 1-bit sound routine for the ZX Spectrum beeper. Fluidcore mixes 4 channels with a total of 17 volume levels, mixed at an incredible 23 KHz. The engine can also handle overdrive, like my “qaop” player. Also, unlike wtfx, the fluidcore does include an XM converter. Watch the demonstration video on youtube, listen to a hardware recording on soundcloud, view the source code on github, and most importantly download the package and converter. Last but not least, here’s the pouet entry.
