Comparing 6128plus and CPC regarding sound... 

You seem confused, but I can help.
Look, you wrote:

That's the first time I do hear such kind of sound on CPC and it really IS sound (both!). Previous attempts going into that direction failed cathastrophically as we all know.

Here, you obviously confused the Plus range (464 and 6128 Plus), for which this intro was coded, with the CPC range, which some people used to call "CPC old" to distinguish them from the 464 and 6128 Plus. Those "old" ones were the CPC 464, 664 and 6128, as you might have heard. Those have different hardware than the Plus range, which has this ASIC (quoting names so you can do some research on you own). Specifically, the CPC range does not have DMA to address the sound-chip. Something which was used in a great way in this intro here to play so-called SID voices. Not for the first time even, but let's leave that aside. On the CPC, however, similar sounding SID sounds are literally impossible for the lack of DMA support. Overflow was one of the first to demonstrate how this can be done on the CPC and I think it was very impressive, albeit (and obviously) not of the same sound quality as SNDh2AYc demonstrated. So, when you write ".. kind of sound on CPC ..", you sound really confused. But I hope you got it now.
If it's clear to you now where your mistake was, just reply "Thanks BSC, I needed this". If you are still confused and need help, reply as you like.

"Thanks BSC, I needed this"

Especially after your previous comment:

"PS: SNDh2AYc runs on a Plus, which is not a CPC, learn your stuff."

Hope you learn your stuff in some of your future lifes ;-)

Amstrad CPC hardware / Re: vortex disc interface

iirc the interface can contain an additional rs232 interface, the 2nd rom can be for it.

Jumpers can set the ROM numbers

(Can't be Greek this time, because I still lack some characters)

I have to add japanese soon on my side, greek sounds easy compared to it

Japanese will be quite fun I guess! The Greek runs at the side anyway. 

BTW: Poll added! Hope this helps to see if we get 1 or 2 readers for an additional language :-)

General Discussion - Introductions / The forum's 20st anniversary

Last post by BSC - Yesterday at 21:17

I was just browsing the forum stats and noticed that apparently this forum was born on 2006-11-30, at least that's the oldest entry in the stats. Which means that in a bit over a year, this forum turns 20! 

Since time flies at our age, I thought it would not harm to give a heads up to whomever wants to create something to celebrate that special day
