Music from 80s TV commercial / ZX Spectrum / Trackers
In a moment you will see a TV commercial that was found on an old and forgotten VHS tape. The advertisement most likely dates back to 1985 and shows a limited edition of ZX Spectrum personal microcomputer called Speccy. This computer and the advertisement never saw the day light... until today 
Commercial made by Rogal (PixelNation):
Track without "Tape Cassette 2" plugin which added age to the recording in the video.
GarageBand + AudioKit apps: "VHS Synth", "SNESynth" and "King of FM". Have a nice watching and greetings to all ZX Spectrum microcomputers hobbyist

Thoughts of the original ZX Spectrum takes me back. After that it was Tandy (Radio Shack) then Commodore then Amiga…
Finally Apple and the PC’s with the evolving series of Intel chips.
@dakti, This is brilliant nostalgic synthwave, instant time machine! 🤩
The Nosferatu theme begins to play in my mind whenever the words "Speccy" and "music" are spoken together, haha! 🫣
@McD ZX Spectrum owner, hurray
For me it looked like this: Atari XL - Atari ST - Amiga 500 and 1200 - different PC - and finally iPad 
In my area a lot of people are still interested in ZX Spectrum. They make graphics, music, demos, games and another stuff for this machine. Also hardware extensions for it as well.
@Luxthor Thank you. I'm glad you have traveled to the past
I also like to go back in time 
When you move character in the game, it sounds like a rave music
I have one more music for you, this time ZX Spectrum style. Made in Vortex Tracker and presented also this weekend at Speccy Party.
My brain is programmed to convert these beeps and blips into a pleasant and melodious symphony of nostalgic sounds. So, yeah, it’s fantastic work; it must be fun at those parties! 🤩
A musical Time Machine. Great job!
It's true, there is a very nice atmosphere at such events. In my country there are several such party in different cities that take place every year and each of them has a slightly different character. Some of them are dedicated to a specific platform only such as ZX Spectrum, Atari, Commodore, Amiga. Such events attract several dozen people, but there are also events attract several hundred people - I mean multiplatform events which including also PC and mobile devices + game development + a space where you can play board games together with others + stands with retro magazines, comics, posters and other gadgets for sale + concerts, e.g. band playing music from old computer games on real instruments or contemporary musicians whose work contains retro elements. Sometimes there are two editions of a given event. One of which is purely integration where you come to meet friends, talk, have a beer, there are competitions to see who will score more points in a given computer game, a DJ playing music created on retro computers, night demos shows, etc. Another edition include the same + there is Demoscene part, where people compete with each other by exhibiting works in different categories.
The first time I attended such a party about 10 years ago and surprisingly not at home, but abroad in Finland (Helsinki) at event called "Assembly". Next year I have a plan to go to another big party "Revision", which takes place in Germany (Saarbrücken). According to the thread here is commercial
-> Join us on the world’s largest demoscene stage to enjoy digital art and connect with friends! April 2024.
The sound of Atari, Commodore and ZX Spectrum are specific and different. When it comes to ZX Spectrum, I'm a very beginner, but if you would like to hear more beeps and blips I recommend a ZX-Art website where you can listen to various tracks made by people who spend a lot more time with that platform. If you would like to make familiar or start to create music by yourself for ZX Spectrum, I recommend the Vortex Tracker that runs under Windows. Here is also a tutorial on Youtube.
Thank you, time traveler, see you in '85
You gave me so much information. 🤩 I am really considering visiting Revision; at least, Saarbrücken is 100km from where I was born. I watched their YouTube channel; it’s madness, haha! Everyone is around my age, so me and my friends will blend in perfectly.
Commodore SID is another dimension compared with Speccy. I didn't know about the ZX-Art website; I will check those lists with great interest. I can't do anything with Vortex Tracker; I have only macOS and Linux. Isn’t Drambo more than enough?!
We have here a very well-known Peak&Poke museum with all 8-bit machines, lots of events, and great guest artists.
@Luxthor Wow, so close, now you have no choice and you have to come with your friends
I have about 1300 km. I will say more, there is a lot of time, so you can prepare and submit your music to the competition - thousands of participants will listen to it 
Drambo is amazing and maybe is enough, but if there are other toys available, why not play with them also
I found Vortex Tracker version for MacOS, here is a .dmg file, but it need to run Wine. I did not check it. Here I also found video showing zx spectrum music player working on Apple II 
Here are the newest and recommended version of Vortex Tracker for Windows.
I looked at the Peak&Poke website - it looks like a great 8-bit museum. What is nice it is not only static exhibitions, but as you said events and meetings with the artists.
Is it mandatory to use Vortex Tracker? I'd rather use the Speccy emulator and code all the things than cope with Wine. I already have a few projects highly inspired by the theme; I will check the requirements first. Too many chiptune synths were released this year; I really need to do something with them. And sorry for derailing your creation thread. "The Space" is fantastic, that break is a masterpiece. At least for someone with countless hours wasted with those blipper boxes! 🤩
'The Space' sounds more like the SID in the C64, particularly with the super fast arpeggiated chords.
The 48k spectrum only had 1 voice!
I've been playing with VividTracker on iOS recently.
Different era again as it is modelled on Amiga 4 channel SoundTracker, but really interesting how the pattern based workflow impacts the structure of a piece and also the effect of shifting sampled chords up and down leads to modulations immediately characteristic of tracker music.
@Luxthor: Thanks again for nice words. If you can please share your chiptune music
Vortex Tracker is not mandatory, but it is certainly a convenient tool, probably more convenient than the native methods of creating on the original ZX Spectrum, however I never tried it. It also allows to create the so-called TurboSound (6 instead of 3 channels) and it is possible play that 6 channel tune on real hardware. I will talk to my colleagues and write again when I find out what other creation methods are recommended under the Speccy emulator.
What another new chiptune synths that you mentioned could you recommened?
@belldu: I haven't played with Vivid Tracker on iOS yet, but I really like to play with ProTracker 2.3 on Amiga. I've had my eye on Vivid Tracker for a long time and I don't know why I was waiting so long, but finally I bought it today. To make things easier, I also use the ProTracker 2.3 clone for Windows (it's also available for MacOS) from this website. On the same website there is also a clone of FastTracker II, which was very popular on MS-DOS. I highly recommend both.
About trackers on iOS I recommend two another apps: Sunvox and SidTracker64. Also module player Modizer. Today I found another tracker as well just for 1$ October - chiptune maker.
I agree that the used tool has a big impact on the composition. In my case the tracks from the Trackers, Garageband and e.g. AUXY are much different.
As a companion to VividTracker, get "4Champ". This app provides access to just about every mod and s3m created. You can mark favourites, then download mods (not other formats) and load them into VividTracker. This means you can both see how they were created and rip their samples too!
@belldu Thanks, I see I've downloaded it in the past, but I haven't used it. There are even 27 of my crap modules in the 4Champ database
Have to switch from Modizer to 4Champ, however Modizer also show (as Vivid Tracker) 4 tracks with notes when play module what is nice too, but of course for view only.
I will try to keep max 6 channels and crush everything; it will have an 8-bit feeling for sure. About chiptune synths, from Saga 16bit, BA-1, SNESynth, and the incoming miniBit. But you can use Drambo modules to simulate 8-bit sound even better with all the necessary controls. Did you experiment with PixiTracker and PixiTracker 1-bit?
VividTracker on iOS is great news. But I have problems creating music with hexadecimals; I always end up trying to make loops and routines, and that sounds terrible.
