Muzz73 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 OK, I've been thinking of putting a Stereo Pokey board in one of my A8's for some time now. Here is my question... Is it just a few demos that use it, or is there actually a visual composer that willl take advantage of that second Pokey, allowing for 8-voice, stereo compositions? It doesn't seem that it'd be worth it to me, just for playing demos, but I love chiptunes, so I thought I'd look into it and see if what type of software support there might be for it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Quite a few demos, some games. A good number of musical pieces. RMT under Windows can be used to create 4 or 8-voice songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well, "is it just a few demos that use it...?" Its much more than that. There are: a) dozens of sound/music-editors which can generate sounds and music in stereo (e.g. Theta-Music-Composer, Stereo-Chaos-Music-Composer, Stereo-Soundmon. Prof., Raster Music Tracker,...), b) dozens of sound-players that playback in full or emulated stereo (e.g. AMS-soundplayer, Pokey-Player soundplayer, Megaplayer for CMC, TMC and MPT sounds, RMT soundplayer, etc.) c) dozens of newer games that have stereo sound (and also a dozen of older games that can be patched or that are already patched for stereo, e.g. Zybex, Draconus, ...) d) hundreds of demos with stereo-sound etc. Just take a look here for stereo games and demos: http://a8.fandal.cz/search.php?search=stereo&butt_details_x=x -Andreas Koch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthpopalooza Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Or if you are like me, where my Atari 1200XL is a part of my music studio, being able to program music using 8 voices (or 4 voices in 16-bit mode) is invaluable. I have been considering doing this myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
