This is originally a collection of songs for TurboSound for ZX81 (two ZonX interfaces - on different ports - to play simultanously = 6 channels). 

But this version is converted for ZX Spectrum. Songs should play very similar like on ZX81 but not the same. 
Songs are for ACB stereo, for two YM2149 chips. 
On Spectrum they will sound a little bit different - and they will be FASTER then on original machine (ZX81). 
They will also play higher than on ZX81. 

Written on real ZX81 machine - NO EMULATORS have been USED. 



INFO: 

ZX81 is a British monochrome computer as big as an adult man's hand-palm. It has touch-sense keyboard and 1Kb of RAM only and it's been released in 1981 (American version is Timex 1000 and Timex 1500). 

It had a modular construction, so people weren't forced to buy all the hardware in one machine, if they didn't need it. So - if anybody required additional RAM, he could buy 16Kb RamPack or more. If somebody needed sound - he was able to buy a ZonX sound-module (with YM/AY chip inside). 

Finally we decided it's not enough for us. ;)  ;) ZonXes are still being produced by various guys. And now - one machine is interesting for our porpose: Mr-X, because it is a through-out device - more interfaces can be connected to it. So - we decided to connect two sound-modules to ZX81 (one of them is on different ports than another) to obtain 6 channels of sound. 

And... IT'S ALIVE!!!!!! ;) Yes - here You can listen to 6-channels music composed on real ZX81 32Kb with two YM/AY interfaces (ZXpand-AY and Mr-X). Also I recorded the music from real ZX81 hardware. 

To compose the songs I used Andy Rea's "ZX81 SoundTracker" (first I made one half of every song, then the second one, because the SoundTracker for ZX81 can support only one AY chip - 3 channels). 
Then I recorded them from the same ZX81 with ZXpand-AY and Mr-X modules (using TurboSound Player). 

Thanx go to Andy Rea for the software (ZX81 SoundTracker, TurboSound Player), also to ZX81 hardware developers: SirMorris (ZXpand and ZXpand-AY) and to Sascha2000 (Mr-X).
