I know that. ...Didn't play around with it much. It was just way back in
'88 or '89.

Maybe it contained a converted Basic interpreter or so. I don't know. It was able to load Spectrum originate files from tape. But refused to run anything not written in plain Basic.

These converters should have been written by TPSH (he had a Spectrum way back in the late 80's and converted some graphics).

Nope. I had no real interest :-(. They still could be optimized a bit,
and also the ADSR routines could be made/fixed better but not much real major improvements to be made. The mixing must be below 4-5khz, and the digi resolution has to be at max 4-5 bits - this determines everything.
Waveconvs will always sound noisy (though, I still like their sound better than native TED musics or SID songs playing on the TED squarewaves).
Several years ago, I received a SID card from The Elder and I'm quite happy with it, concerning my Plus/4 music activities :-). I don't know what a thank should I say him for this favour ;-).
(And either, I don't know what should I still say for that s*cker who stole my first SID card in Computer Xmas '92, in Csory's dormitory...)
