Heaven/TQA Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 xxl...so in theory...is there enough cpu time left for a mpt/tmc/rmt running in the back? this would mean: 4 channels Pokey+3 channels gtia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 xxl...so in theory...is there enough cpu time left for a mpt/tmc/rmt running in the back? this would mean: 4 channels Pokey+3 channels gtia? This combination will not work, I guess. But 4 channels with one GTIA channel might work fine together. But, to keep some more real facts.... We may never have the possibility of creating tunes with this combination. It's like to hope for mountain walking over waters Just an example: While people from the Atari scene ever said "this or that is not possible", some guy from the Speccy side tells us the truth... Well, the "slow" C64 plays 4 channel mods with a soundchip that doesn't even have 4 channels, while on the A8 no Tracker exists that neither keeps the rules for playing music nor offers the simplest functions of POKEY... not even to talk about a POKEY-GTIA tracker...

emkay Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Don't get me wrong. I like those results. If we only had the possibility of leaving some graphics during the music playing... perhaps with a "PM only" Display or else... without losing the quality....

RE: custom Pokey routines.. are you still thinking about the GTIA/Pokey tracker, that would be very cool.

Rybags Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 A full-screen (240 line) wide DMA mode bitmap hires pic would provide about the most stable display... the DMA hits become consistent (almost), the only jitter being the Refresh cycles and the somewhat smaller offscreen horizontal region where the only DMA is for the DList. Probably means only 1 or 2 simulated voices though, and at reduced quality. Also, you'd need to cater for the 22 or 72 scanlines where the CPU runs uninhibited, other than Refresh cycles.

+Stephen Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 today 3 GTIA channels player with digi instruments, so finally good bassss on GTIA http://atari.pl/v8.mp3 Sounds great - I would have never guessed sounds like this were possible with the GTIA. I remember a demo from the late 1980s. It turned the screen DMA off, had a dark green background color, and played the Beatle's song Yestaday in "stereo". The GTIA provided the alternate channel, but it was just a single "beep" tone. Nothing like this. Midnight Magic was really scratchy as well. Great work.

xxl Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) You can! my player can load music from these editors: The Music Studio © 1989 - 2 channels and not the best drums. ZX-7 Polyphonic Musical Instrument © 1988 Although it has no drums (only tones), this program makes from one BEEPER’s channel – 8 channels 3 Channel Synthesiser, also called Music Synth © 1989 Theoretically it’s impossible to make any envelopes, delays and stuff in case of one-bit sound. Surprisingly this program allows to make them. Also it has 3 channels (including editable drums / noises). SAMPLE TRACKER V2.0 © 1993 MOD for BEEPER? Almost. This tracker has 3 digital channels, it supports ‘D/A 8BIT’ sound-card for ZX/TIMEX, or regular AY chip (then you have 4-bit sound),but if you have only ZX/TIMEX with 48Kb of RAM and BEEPER – it STILL WORKS NORMALLY! (With 1-bit quality of course). Edited February 18, 2009 by xxl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athleos Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 thanks for the info! if my Timex/Sinclair 1000 could handle this, i'd be all over it but it'll have to wait for now. maybe i'll try an emulator and port it over to my A8's...

potatohead Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 BAD ASS. This is a far cry from the usual POKEY sound. Some of these are reaching a point where it's difficult to say, "That's an Atari". Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
