# ZX Spectrum Speaker
|
|
|
|
Rather than having a dedicated sound synthesizer, early ZX Spectrum models had one piezo beeper, controlled by Z80 CPU and ULA chip. It's capabilities should be on par with an IBM PC speaker... right?
|
|
|
|
Not really - very soon talented programmers found out ways to output much more than one square wave channel. A lot of ZX beeper routines do exist, as of 0.6pre1 Furnace supports only one - Follin-like engine with 6 channels of narrow pulse wave and click drums.
