Big Hello from an MSX guy!
Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2021 9:31 pm
Hello ZX community, hello forum,
to start with the bad message first: I am and never was a Speccy / ZX user.
My heart belongs to the MSX platform, that was my first homecomputer in 1984.
For a few years now, I rediscovered my hardware and love to the MSX computers. There is a very active MSX community around the world...
lots of home brew software and hardware developement going on there in 2021. I guess its the same here in the Speccy world!
So, why am I here and not on www.msx.org ?
Well, I do some music tracking for different game projects on the MSX, and since the Spectrum and MSX share the same soundchip AY-3-8910, I get much inspiration from the great AY compositions on the ZX. So many great resources on the internet, much respect for the ZX music scene!
This leads me directly to my question... (dear board admins, please forgive if this is not the right place for this question / subject.
Let me know where's a better place for it in your forum)
I found some really nice ZX chiptunes on the net, the file format is .ASC (for example on https://zxart.ee/ )
Now, I want to replay those .ASC files in a tracker program... sadly, the format seems not very common.
I found out, that the original program for this file format was "ASC Sound Master v1.x".
Can anyone tell me, where to get this software? I would like to run it in an ZX emulator, to load those ASC files.
Thanks in advance! Any help appreciated from the ZX scene!
