  1. I bet if you posted this on a chip music forum you'd find lots of people interested in this: http://chipmusic.org/forums/forum/12/atari/ http://8bc.org/forums/viewforum.php?id=30 I was just thinking about something like this the other day! twitterd about this thread: Hope it gives you some incentive to work on this! Peter
  2. I can see your point, and reserve my judgment about da heck if he made those comments or not. His designs do leave a lot to be desired though. PORTABLE!
  3. Heckendorn is being a prat. All his mods are pretty cool, but I would hardly call his designs eloquent. Sucker acting like the Eames of portable mods design or something. Just subscribing o this thread. Synthcart lives for me with this product
  4. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=8255327757 MIDINES Prototype This is the intial Protoype developed by x|k of Wayfar.net. It allows full midi control of all the sounds of the Nintendo Entertainment system via a specially designed cartidge and a midi adaptor dongle that hangs off the 1st controller Port. Midi Control "Midines provides full access to the 2x Pulse, Tri, Noise and DMC (sample) channels. Including access to sweep, duty, volume and length sound registers. The sound routine is not dependent on the vertical screen refresh rate (vblank) allowing high speed MIDI CC modulation of all parameters." NESFX NesFX is a real-time retro graphic visualization that is seeded by incoming MIDI sound data. Changing layers of pixel patterns and colors are adjusted in response to combinations of MIDI channel data. One of a kind Musicians interested in using this to create music on the NES are encouraged to purcahsethe updated currently available device available from Wayfar above or via Ebay. This auction is more suited for the hardcore Nintendo collector. This prototype is the only one of its design known in the wild, and the current design of Midines is signifigantly different. What you Get One MIDINES catridge with midi dongle. You will need to provide your own NES to play with it, as well as some kind of midi generator. The design has changed, but the current manual on the wayfar site gives a good overview of the midi spec to control the device. Contact me if you have any further questions.
  5. is it the same issues? I have seen the synthcart work fine on all models, so it is perplexing.... where do you live?
  6. thats the special easter egg mode seriously though im sure albert will replace it. Check out the yahoogroup for synthcart if your intersted in discussing the product with us other POWER USARS Cynthgroup!
  7. I think the only practicle midi would be midi control of the of the physical switches of the atari, using osme kind of pic design to control switches, or pulse data being sent out a controler port, again being used with an external micro pc deal to be converted into midi clock, or some other kind of hardware sync. Instead of midi you can have the atari start/stop control of a digital audio player maybe for the frogger example?
  8. atari's have the perfered midi computing platforms for years
  9. you can easily make a midi box to trigger the switches on the controller pad for synthcart with this project... http://ucapps.de/ You can even turn it on and off. Good luck
  10. i put mine on the top left side corner. Becareful you down crowd the ribbon cable, or break the weak palstic whilst cutting...
  11. I thought Tremelo is cyclic variation in amplitude. Vibrato is cyclic variation in pitch. No? 870918[/snapback] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrato Yes. The two terms are horribly mismatched every though, and it IS confusing. I think the problem comes from the fact that in musical terms they are almost interchangeable, but scientifically they are diffrent the sound off the chip are great though
  12. Tremelo is a warbling pitch effect, and doepller waves are caused by a pitch change by collapsing waveforms from the speed and direction of the sound source moving towards you or away from you. I wouldnt feel too bad cause most music manufactuers confuse the concepts as well. I guess it depends wether you are describing the sound scientifically versus aestethically...... Although tremelo seems a good wave to describe the sound of a doepler shift, just very very fast tremalation (new words rule!)
  13. the remixes are made with gameboy (8-bit) and atari st (paza)
