+mytek Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Ditto... More explanation required. - Michael EDIT: OK so it's another version of the SIO2SD? Edited May 3, 2016 by mytekcontrols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMontezuma Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Is it a word play (should be: SIO Card)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I would think it's playing chiptunes... by means of emulation of an existing chip or maybe a selfmade custom core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMontezuma Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) This is a MP3 player controlled via SIO commands, which outputs the audio via SIO AUDIO IN if I understood it correctly. Edited May 3, 2016 by TheMontezuma 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxl Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 yes its "one chip" Disc Drive emulator like sio2sd and player controlled via SIO command as Montezuma said. SIO Command: Play (which song),Stop, Pause, Continue. takes no atari cpu time, plays music through SIO AUDIO IN. can be used to soundtrack a game 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mytek Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Sounds very nice (now that I understand what it is about). Can you post some detailed pictures when you get a chance. And lastly, is this something you proposed to sell, or is it only a prototype? - Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 SIO Command: Play (which song),Stop, Pause, Continue. Nice idea. Is it possible to seek too? Could it play multiple at once, e.g. background music + explosions on top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Can the Atari send the .MP3 file to the device, or does it all need to be pre-loaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 just like the original game on PC or consoles have a soundtrack recorded on a disc so Atari also could have done the same background music. I well remember Quake with great music on the CD, or wipeout ... of course sounds of POKEY are mixed with music from SIO AUDIO IN. seek? No, but it can be. yes, atari can save file (wav) on SD and then play it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hello guys IIRC I read somewhere (in one of the many Atari magazines) that Clock In can be used as an input for a second audio channel. (read: stereo) Sincerely Mathy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matej Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Nice! So now we will have better music than Falcon in our games... One more question. It will be cartridge or SIOplug adapter? Will be it able to load game from that SD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender II Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Can you save Atari audio cassette program files to the SD card and load them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentarian Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Nice peripheral! More details please! 410/1010/XC1x emulation? Internal option? Stereo or just mono? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 1. Volume control (SIO command) 2. ATR mount (SIO command) 3. PLAY/PAUSE (Motor Control ON/OFF) 4. Stereo plays as MONO (AUDIO IN - mono) 5. WAV mount - play once / play in loop (SIO command) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
