Mclaneinc Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 If you need the adf for the miggy one just let me know, the ST one is nice from the look of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGS-Atari Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 While I'm digging stuff out, you may as well have a copy of my 'Journey Into Sound' demo from 1990. By that point I was editing sound samples into longer pieces of music, which are showcased here in a rolling demo. I admit some of these aren't that great listening all these years on, but this was from simpler times! It came on a double sided floppy, and both sides are included in the attached ZIP file, along with a small ReadMe explaining how to boot. It works in emulators, but you'll need to 'flip' the disk (journey2.atr) when told to at the end of the first side (journey1.atr).

DGS-Atari Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Another digitized sounds related freebie for anyone who wants it. I wrote Bash-A-Drum, a drum programmer and player, back in 1990. It has 8 digitized drum sounds, which you can play live with your keyboard or joysticks, and a pattern/song editor so you can program drum patterns and songs, save them, edit them, play them back, etc. I've extracted the original docs off the disk and created a PDF file from them, included in the attached ZIP file, making corrections to my usual spelling errors back in the day! It's a single sided disk (in ATR format in the ZIP file) which does work in emulators, but will work better on an original Atari.

DGS-Atari Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I decided to see if my 30 year old Replay cartridge still works. It did! I had forgotton how loud you have to set the input to get the sampler to pick it up, so much so that my mp4 player wouldn't come close to loud enough. I ended up having to connect the mp4 player to an amplifier, then the Replay to that. Also, don't throw those old late 90's laptops away! Stick APE on them and use them as a disk drive for your Atari! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddtmw Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 My that's a lot of cords. Now that you got it hooked up, we need some anachronistic music. Maybe a snippet from Katy Perry's California Gurls on a 92k ATR that you tell people you found in the box of floppies in your basement from 1988, proving the existence of time travel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's weird because it seems to have happened! This one's so retro that it only plays properly on real Atari's! Boot with Basic, usual DigiDisk menu system.

_The Doctor__ Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Some new samples would be excellent! oh no nothing like that blech! My son and daughter just put their fingers in their mouth over that sample... while I normally don't agree with them musically, this time I do. My poor Atari is weeping........ oh come on now if you go that route do some classics for our classic! Or....... something strong and fressh..... sorry Perry's played out! Want to go full silly anything Weird Al or Dr Demento does would be better, witty! Go newer? Imagine Dragons, Sabaton, something like that is strong. Nobody has done any orchestral titles yet. hmmm how about full on Atester, Maybe something from Skillet, why not... that should work. Some really good solid test of time songs have always faired well.... just hoping. Please do another sampling for us quick!

DGS-Atari Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Dean, when you say it only plays properly on real Atari's, in what way do you mean? The old 2-bit systems player routines don't work at the right speed in emulators, so they'll be too slow. They work properly on actual machines.

_The Doctor__ Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) He's right about that the playback on emulation seems uneven.... there is something a bit off... funny enough that's part of what emKay is remarking on with some proclivity.

toddtmw Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) How do you start it? I get to the LOAD ALTER PLAY QUIT HELP screen and the keyboard does not respond to anything. I figured it out.

Sorry, I assumed everyone had downloaded the earlier ZIP file containing all my others, which included the instructions.

I don't have real hardware to compare it to, but the van halen track above sounds about as crappy as I remember it from when I had it back in the day. I'm surprised to hear (no pun intended) that Altirra may not be emulating something quite right. I'd love to hear a comparison if someone has real hardware and wants to post a youtube video or mp3 to show the difference... Thanks, this thread is a lot of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't post a clip at the moment, but I checked against an 800XL and Altirra plays the clip fine. There's a bit of hiss in some portions of the clip due to aliasing, even on the real hardware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGS-Atari Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm still digging out these old digi demos. Here's one I did in 1991. Just boot with Basic. This one played properly in the Atari800WinPlus emulator, not sure about all the others. Always best on a real Atari though!

DGS-Atari Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Still digging these old digi-demos out. By 1991 it seems I was experimenting with bank switching, and created a digi-demo for 128K machines. This will, therefore, need a 130XE or compatible memory expanded 800XL. It never comes to end BTW, so it'll keep on playing forever, or until you switch your machine off! It seems to play reasonably well in Atari800WinPlus, but always better on a real Atari! The ATR is attached. Just boot with Basic.

snicklin Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Does anyone have a link to the software for the 2-bit systems sampler? I've got the hardware but not the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 yep. http://atari.boards.net/thread/1828/digital-music-sampling OK, I've downloaded the zip file, but can't work out which disk is the one for recording samples. Is that one in there? The recording on a PC method might get a bit fiddly moving files around between PCs and ATRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
