S is for Sound - charlierobson/ZXpand-Vitamins GitHub Wiki

The AY chip on ZXpand is good for more than just beeps. It can splurp, blippp, dee-doop, wooeeooeooeoo and many other less recognisable sounds too.

Use AYFXEDIT by Shiru. It is an editor which allows you to design complex sounds by building up a list of changes in sound over time. It's super simple and effective. The editor program only runs on windows sadly, and now that WINE no longer runs on Macs, well the more linuxy among us have our options reduced. I won't go into how to use this program here as 1> it's pretty easy and b> there are tutorials on youtube.

You can pick up the program from:

• here - the author's site ^{*My AV warns me about malware on this site. I think it's a false alarm, you should use your judgement}
• here - an improved version. Instructions are here.

Once you have made and exported your sound bank you can load or compile it into a suitable player. Here are example players for machine code programs and BASIC programs.
