A new tracker that allows to make 1-bit ZX Spectrum music on modern PCs was released recently. It is an experimental universal cross platform open source tracker that potentially could support many chiptune music formats through external plug-ins.
So far five engines are supported, all of them weren't previously available in easy-to-use form: Huby, Octode, the Lyndon Sharp's 2 channel engine, the Tim Follin's 3 channel engine, ZX-10.

A forgotten beeper routine and editor from the early 90s has recently been unearthed. The routine features 3 channels of PDM sound (similar to SpecialFX or Follin routines) with a range just short of 2 1/2 octaves. The program is very minimalistic, and the interface is written entirely in BASIC.
The author of this compact beeper routine is Ján Deák from Slovakia, better known for his 8-channel ZX-7 editor. Originally named "MSG", ZX-3 was published as a type-in in issue 6/91 of the Czechoslovakian computer magazine Elektronika.
