SV: a 2600 2600

[Theo]

The ST sample cardiges come under diffrent names.
Don't know on what part of the globe you hang out,
but the most common in the US are the Hypo and Navarone
cardiges. Watch out for parralel port cardiges, rom port types
work better and with more software (inlc. mine). (;-)
The second hand marked is the place to look.

However this is a DIY list isn't it?
I reverse engenieerd my ACN cardige, (the first mod was done about
half an hour after first use) have to look them up but if it is anny use to
you
i can mail the schematics.

The sampling rate is conrtolled by interupt, eats a lot of cpu time.
Data is written to the romport by a dummy read. A1 to A7 set the address
the data is written to, A8 to A15 hold the data.
The AA filter is fixed at 10KHz with a 6dB slope.

As mentioned in previous mail, a midi software sampler is still in beta
stage (work name "simpler").
At the moment some midi events are simply missed, have to rewrite the samlpe
interupt routines to fix it.
The ST things are considered "hobby" projects, commercial projects go first.
It may take a few months before i start working on it again.

Not midi compattible but very good is the sound merlin package, very
complete
and gives appr. 740KB sample ram on a 1MB machiene.
There is also a shareware sequencer (can't remember the name) that can play
midi plus one audio track. Samples are played from ram NOT hard disk.

There are 16 and sterio rom cardiges too, never seen one in real live thoug.
Also some STe types have 8bit sterio dma sound build in, better quality and
very easy to use in self written programs.

Regards Theo.
