True. if only somebody could port any engine from Spectrum to ZX81! Ah well.

Yes it surely is. I dunno about ULA 'though. This chip is different, as far as I know.
Anyway, Atari XL/XE people are able to port Spectrum48 BEEPER engines and they work 100% identically on Atari XL/XE. And there's only 1,7Mhz on the CPU (or something like that).
So You see. Must be possible on ZX81 too.

It's 16 channels now. http://z80.i-demo.pl/Mister_Beep-Organists_Farewell.mp3

Yes. That's another problem. Yes indeed.
