Hi to all!

I decided to release the full source code of The Queen's Footsteps:

https://github.com/DarwinNE/The-Queen-s-Footsteps/

It should work better as a submodule of AWS2C:

Enjoy!

My copy arrived today, from Lulu. It's quite nice, I love it!
Definitely worth the money. It will be very handy in the future!

Just a few lines to say that the Silk Dust original soundtrack participates to the August 2023 Creator Day and Sale, in bundle with a piece that is called New Star and there is a 55% discount on both: https://itch.io/s/100231/august-2023-creator-day-and-sale As usual, the Silk Dust game can be downl...

I just ordered a copy from Lulu.

Great stuff! I love it!

Ah, now I see better what you mean. In any case, if it can be useful, in the past I tried to explore a little the sound possibilities of the VIC20 for the game intro of Cavern Explorer. I noticed that everything was badly clipped if the volume was too high: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvhkRBfTAe...

Interesting. What are you measuring, exactly? The ouput DC voltage? Where, exactly on the schematic? In this version, there is a CD blocking capacitor on the ouput, C11: http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/vic20/VIC-20%20Schematic%20-Version%20E.pdf Or is it an AC measurement...

Work is finished on the Silk Dust soundtrack! You can listen all the pieces on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/sets/silk-dust-soundtrack I created a soundtrack project on Itch.io where all the pieces (AIFF 16 bit 44.1 kHz and FLAC 24 bit 192 kHz, plus a bonus piece called Turin Sui...

I had a look to the schematics and it seems that there were different versions. Here, there is a RC filter (R9/C12) at the base of Q2 that has a -3dB cutoff probably a bit below 16kHz, that is reasonable: http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/vic20/VIC-20%20Schematic%20-Version...

I checked and the error is the same in the manual in Italian!
The lowest voice is indicated as "contralto", it is very strange. I never noticed it before!

Ah, ok, it is a figure of the original manual, I recall it. I will check on the Italian version I used as a child to see how it is translated. I agree with the point, nonetheless, the alto vocal range is usually higher than the tenor vocal range (but the two of course overlap), it seems quite a bit ...

Great book! I really love it!

At page 60 I spotted something weird: The 36874 register controls the lowest voice, that should be bass and not alto (register comprised between tenor and soprano usually sung by female singers).

Another piece of music. It is called Mediterranean Sunset. If you have played to Silk Dust, you should know what is this referring to :) https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/mediterranean-sunset?in=user-375194295/sets/silk-dust-soundtrack I still have to write a longer suite and then I will declare...

Great news! Thank you for the information!
