Hello All,
from my early Spectrum days I always wanted to
record and capture the music computer plays.
I waited minutes and recorded seconds. After
the process I had a cassette full of music
that's currently called chiptunes.
I found there are still people actively composing
in Spectrum trackers. And I'm glad about it.
When I used ZX I used it mainly for gamin. So the
knowledge of assembler never really caught me.
But after some time I'm thinking about capturing
some of my favorite tunes. What I went to is the
AY files. And now my path ends. From what I understand
the AY sound files are assembler instructions for
the music chip. Isn't it?
In the optimal case I would like to convert the
AY file to the MIDI one. Exactly note by note.
What options do I have to decode the AY file?
Is there any format, specification that would
unify it? Or it's rather each file different
format?
