ZX Spectrum: Experimenting with 1-Bit Sound

A developer working on ZX Spectrum sound synthesis successfully implemented multichannel 1-bit sound playback techniques, including chord generation and PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) playback through the computer's simple beeper speaker. While attempting to replicate advanced PC speaker techniques proved challenging, the work achieved respectable 16kHz playback rates by leveraging the Spectrum's 3.5MHz processor, though the inherent limitations of 1-bit audio result in significant distortion.
