Hi Analmux, you still got those SIDs? Regards

So far only #1 place

Thx. And no samples. The main idea there was to write POKEY STEREO tune different. Instead of trying to simulate echoing on both chips and go for a well known sounds I focused on more synthish sounds, and this sometimes mean single stuff played on left POKEY. So, the second half of the effect here is when we apply some low stereo separation (30% in this case). However under real POKEY there are slight differencies. Also many times tune done under RMT detunes much on real machine. My tune is just a simple example. IMHO much more can be done with better player code - in this case I mean mostly synth-alike code. Look on it this way - there's already SID emulation functional for small Atari. Probably not many people found it revolutional, but it is. Using such techinques but for native POKEY music player will cost less rastertime, and with two POKEYs and a single frame player execution you might get very good results and even use it in a demo.

Definitely a lot room to explore still on POKEY. Raster has put very nice synth alike code in his tracker. Also very nice hacking by Analmux. You can easily tell 8 bit Atari music players are still underdeveloped, or lack certain stuff - ie. Soft Synth could have a kind of proper editor, like RMT. And so on. Synth FTW!

Hi Analmux, not sure why I can't send you PMs anymore so writing here. Just letting you know - your patch-work does make sense, mate. People liked the sound of your code on Silly Venture 2011 and a tune done with your 1.27p4 has ended up 2nd place. Hope this can inspire you more to finish your player! Best b.

He he' date=' no not, yet no. I literally just today started experiments with Patch 4, and after 10 mins of fiddling I'm quite impressed. If I'll get in the window there'll be some work done in two months time I got a bit confused as to the change history, for some reason I though Patch 5 has Patch 4 freatures + something else. But no worries.. Regards! Are you the guy that did the tune in the Lemmings intro? I still cannot believe that tune is playing on a stock A8 - it's the best use of music + digi-samples I've heard on the machine! Hi Stephen Indeed very cool. But that was Fred Brooker, I'm booker Regards

Hi Analmux How's coding of HardSynth going? Can't wait for the beta Thx b.

Hi Analmux Thanks for your answers. I guess the worrying about backward compatibility is a step backward, really. Why anyone would need that? That would be cool. Also, can you please attach your Patch v5? Can't find in anywhere. Many thanks!
