- Hello people,
- I havent use my C128 for more than a year,I finally got my Amiga :)
- I was programming in assembly for the C64/128 though,(only assmebly
- can give you speed,man :)),and I had an idea.The idea was to make a
- sampler without any additional hardware!!!The only hardware needed was
- the Dataset or whatever tape you were using to load progs.Before I go
- through developing my idea,I got my amiga and so I left this idea behind
- Well,I just wanted to tell you this idea,I am sure someone out there
- could develope such a program, if it can be done.
- My primitive thinking was :
- a) Record routine
- Make a routine in assembly (it can't be done in another lang) which
- will read the frequency of the sound that the tape has and save that
- in memory.(That is the hard part,you have to modify the interupt
- routine for loading)
- b) Play routine
- That's easy ,all this routine has to do is read from ram and put data
- on SID's registers
-
- Well,basically this is it,you can add extra effects as soon as you
- have the above working fine.I really hope this could work!Another thing
- you should be aware of if you are going to go through this is that the
- record routine MUST HAVE EXACTLY the same timing with the play routine
- down to the last cycle.
- This is it,I hope you find this somewhat usefull,and I hope you have
- success if you try it.
- Friendly

- P.S. If you have any progress e-mail me (ypolo37@athina.cc.uch.gr until
- Christmass and kilitzir@csd.uch.gr whenever)
