Atari libraries and demos for music/audio

[Songbird]

I don't know if I've ever seen this published elsewhere. I was digging around in my archives today and found some old Atari files which includes docs, demos, and tools for including audio and music in Jaguar games, so I thought I would share it here. I haven't tried any of this code myself, but apparently there is a simple "drop-in" example of "O Canada" if someone wants to add a Canadian touch to a program.

 

I actually have a Jaguar developer MIDI board attachment which I have never tried out. It came with some floppies that included these files. Enjoy!

Thanks a lot for this ! From a very brief look into the docs, it looks like there was an additional layer of automation to the whole process, compared to the version I have on my HDD (which was, like, 3 pages, so I've always postponed it for later).

 

And I've recently ran out of the excuse that I'll get to integrate the audio to my engine only after I start working with GPU, so this is indeed great timing

 

Thanks for sharing !

 

EDIT: Just checked out the JAZ macros. Oh, YEAH. Now, that's some GOOD STUFF

Carl I don't know if you will find these useful but here is everything I have and what I figured out about them. Jaz is included in there. Also I think the latest known hardware equates file for the jag. Browse around.
