are there any tools to use on the atari computers to work with POKEY?

i mean, could i use atari BASIC? i like BASIC it's fun, but i think there are some other programing environments too. anything?

Maybe talk to this guy

I had one of his pokey synth eurorack modular modules and it was pretty awesome.

I took a quick look on pouet and I found that !

but I'm sorry I can't help you on how to make it run on your comp !!! (check on Atari-Forum maybe it will help you !)

For starting with tracking is ideal CMC {something like LSDJ}:

For profi-tracking MPT and TMC /stereo/

Full list.
- Benjy Sound Monitor
- Black Magic Composer
- Sound Monitor Professional
- Pro tracker 7.0
- Chaos Music Composer
- Future Composer
- Music Pro Tracker
And maybe even more...

You can actually do some live coding (fuck off supercollider) on the atari. Look up for the atari basic reference manual, over the internet are millions of examples (pokey maybe? ). Do you have a reference of what you want to do with it? (to give you some pointers on your direction.)

thanks all!

yeah, i picked one up and found basic is surprisingly decent for making noise, it's a ROM built into the computer so it's right there are soon as it turns on!

there are a ton of books! any specific examples to check out would be cool.

i have to pick up the sio2sd before i can load programs. or save any i write! mostly writing really short algorithmic doo doo for x 1-200, etc and sampling it. not sure it's worth it to do assembly.

the bass and noise on this thing is good. i guess the noise/random generation on pokey is kinda sophisticated. wanna learn more about it.
