    ok so im building on of the A/D CONVERTERS, and hopefully in about a week we'll begin recording guitar samples directly off the atari.

     

    also some insight in to atari guitar playing.. as we are making electronic beats, that are syncopated, the guitar rythem needs to be syncopated as well

     

    im thinking about recording 8 beat measure samples of each riff and loops with the looped beats...

     

    i don;t want to reveal the secret recipe just yet though =)

    I dont remember the names of the 2 samplers i had.

     

    I remember that John Marris made a 4 bit sampler, that connected through the joystick port. It had 3 paddle-turn switches on it.

     

    the 8-bit sampler was to be put in the cartridge port.

     

    I played at lot with it. Made some old (and maybe known) demos with the samples on Atari.

     

    oh, and my 130Xe also had the Stereo Pokey upgrade, so, the Guitar FX program also made use of this stereo-upgrade, otherwise, several FX were not possible.

     

    Programming was done in Atmas II assembler. And the 6502 of the Atari had enough power and speed left to also have the screen on (instead of being it black).

     

    a relative cheap way to make a nice guitar FX processor from an Atari 8bit computer.

     

    Yes this is what i need,

    any one have a parrot they would be willing to part with or lease out to my band to use on the new album?

    maybe ill give the person who lets us borrow one 25% of the profit of the album?

    Question:

    What type of nod is needed to plugin a guitar or any type of analog audio?

    Also, is there an a/d converter in the atari or what kind of mod is needed?

    How to read the input ?

    I have a guitar tuner I made in a ti dsp kit and it would be cool to test.

    here is the program i was first speaking of in the OP

     

    Also, it speaks of a converter in the joystick port and the cart port...

    can we build and / or buy this?

    Given the speed I play, I doubt the 8-bit could keep up with my notes. :D In any case, I'm a no-effects kind of guy...

     

     

    :cool: I'm pretty sure the 6502 would have no problem keeping up with me!

    back in the mid 90's i have an XL with 320k and a stereo headphone input and output.. i lost that one in a storage flood, and i used to be able to input and output guitar at a pretty decent clip... i mean it wasnt perfect.. but it worked.. i had bought it at a yard sale... andit had stereo ports drilled into the back...

     

    now my question is.. where can i buy a co-vox and how do i build the inputs.. either cart style or maybe thru the PBI on an XL.. im thinking about getting one of those 320K on that site i saw the other day.

    Myself, Flashjazzcat, bf2k+, and MEtalGuy are all guitar players. I'm sure that there are also countless other guitar, bass, and synth players here. Anyone who plays an electric/electronic instrument, or uses a microphone, & likes messing around with their Ataris, at a technical level, would surely be very into using the Atari as a Unique Effects Device.

     

    Really, a whole new open source program should come into existence, specifically for the purpose of using the Atari as a very unique audio effects processor.

     

    First of all, please post a link to the software that you are describing. Secondly, no, this wouldn't me a MIDI device that he's looking for... plug a MIDI guitar into a midi port, and it just works... He's looking for some type of Audio Digitizer.

     

    A long time, right after High School, I used to sell Atari Computers. One of my favorite demos, that I used Specifically to push the Atari, over the other systems, was a short snippit of Van Halen's "Eruption" guitar solo, that had been digitized.

     

    Of course, the Atari system had to blank it's screen out to black, to be able to pull it off... but It Worked! This is in a time when other computers just said, "...beep...".

     

    Result: I sold A LOT of Ataris!

     

    Mu-hahahaha!

     

    Anyway, it is my guess that the Effects Program, that you are speaking of, samples about 1/10th of a second or less of the Audio IN signal, applies a very short Effects Algorithm (of, say, the user's choice of maybe flange/delay/distortion, or chorus), spits it out the digitizer's Audio OUT, then samples again, repeatedly, until the program is stopped.

     

    As long as the sample time is Very Short, and the Effects Algorithm is very tight, it would work, without too much noticeable lag time.

     

    & it would be Very Cool! Particularly for studio usage, to create a very neat effect that few other people would have for recording.

     

    Cool find!

     

     

    i found the program on atarionline.pl its called digital music controller, and its in the musijica section..

    no schematics or anything on how to build it though...

  10. Posted

    Ok, so I have a program called digital audio controller that says i can hook a guitar up to an atari and use the atari as an effects pedal.

     

    It says theres one device for the joystick port 1 and another one for the cartridge slot. are they talking about a covox?

     

    any ideas and or schematics on how to build this sort of device?

  16. Posted

    got that story still that could help fill some plot holes....

     

    so heres some "talking points"

     

    so say the atarians are from 1983, they land in a "spaceship" in 2010

     

    whats different for them

    what are they dissapointed in not happening in the computer scene, also what would they be dissapointed in what did happen

    (censorship etc. etc)

     

    27 tracks 1 for each year?

  17. Posted

    Any cool atari animations that would look good in a background displayed behind the band on greenscreen chroma key

    Any Sound effects... synths etc.etc...

    If you want to overlay some synth stuff on top of the stuff im doing with the touch tablet synth and

    the songs are on http://www.soundclick.com/cannabissativa (click on music, but watch the first video too)

    Any plot additions as well..

     

    Also, any trippy animations and sounds which would go with the flow of the songs, or to used inbetween songs as intro's and outtros.

     

    please submit all audio in mp3 format or (ogg)

    i can do aiff as well.

     

    video please try to keep avi or mpg.

    email all submissions to [email protected] or post here..

    this project is a culmination of planning of almost 20 years...

    we just waited for the technology to get better, and for the scene to get a little more organized...

     

    so heres the basic plot of the album...

     

    The atarians arrive in a spaceship on earth, in 2020, they attempt to fix the worlds problems atari style...

    hilarity insues.

    the atarians are old atari hackers from the early 80's who have landed in the early 21st century

    their views based on how the world has differed from how they thought it would be...

    of course also there suprise (or lack of) that there is no atari anymore.

     

    (if anyone wants to throw in on this plot, such as ideas. that is welcome as well.)

    also if u want to do a vocal track as well singing what ever u ideas on this plot line... or even have your atari say it for you (this is prefered..)

     

    im thinking about the vocals on the whole album being all said by an atari computer

    or the sam program for the 8bit.. but if that proves to tedious i do have the speech proggie on the ST.

     

    also by the way.. we use real hardware here in this van. keep it real.

    so.. were working on the new atari rock album...

     

    were using the touch tab synth with the 130xe and getting some interesting results..

     

    we did the base tracks for 30 rocks songs..

    and now ive begun the process of adding the touch tab synth

     

    the base rock songs, and some preliminary synth mixes are up at http://www.soundclick.com/cannabissativa

     

    now my question to you is i was wondering if anyone in atariland wanted to make a contribution to the album

    in the form of sound, and trippy graphic clips (in avi format preferred) made on an atari

    this is the stuff thats going to go in between the songs, and in quiet parts.

    also if any one wants to do synth on some of the songs as well... your more then welcome

    please EMAIL all contributions to [email protected] or post them here as attachments.

     

    also if any one has any weed/stoner trippy images or animations made on an atari.. those will go to the front of the line.

     

    so. please try to get this in as soon as possible.. we hope to post the full album online as soon as possible and we're in the final stages of mixing the main base rock songs, and then im adding the synth parts.. then adding what ever you guys throw in. so.. all help is APPRECIATED.. and will be greatly rewarded in this life.. AND THE AFTERLIFE!

     

    !Merry Christmas!
