what are you using for a MIDI interface?

I am going to post something really interesting regarding the so called  CSM Mode ! Speech Synthesis on the Genesis...

When activated We are in SPECIAL MODE plus Auto KEY ON/KEY OFF is pulsing @ the TIMER A RATE.
Defining some different frequencies in the vocal range on the operators and toying with the timer A gives me a really nice output and a basic proof of concept that it should be usable...at least on the FMDRIVE!  Seb if you got the time to  test it out on the hardware if would be cool smile
It seems that timer A ranges from +/-19ms down to 18.77µs... my emulation cannot go down this low for note on/off but we can reach 8000BPM easily without CPU killing, very usable range!...

CSM speech audio recording are very rare so...I will drop a vid with a sound recording from the FMDRIVE IN CSM MODE ASAP! ...I mean 2day smile


very interesting. i will try this out on hardware once i get the chance!

that's awesome

Dude, have you been rifling through my drawers? You've released a MIDI kit for almost every console I own. :V

Thanks for the info guys! The only synths I have are a microKORG XL and a Gameboy Pocket running Nanoloop, so I'm obviously not too familiar with the timbre of a 2600, but I'm super into pitch bends, so detuned notes shouldn't be a problem. smile
And @little-scale, is the interface for using the 2600 as a controller, or using a controller for the 2600? yikes

Like, MIDI --> Atari 2600 with full control over all sounds and frequencies with sample playback.

Replied smile

I've not received anything yet either so that makes two of us....

I think you might be in batch 2?

Hi Seb, just sent you an email today... I hope I'm one of the 5 that haven't shipped out yet and it didn't get lost in the mail smile

Replied! Yes - one of the five - I thought we had conversed about this in the past?

I love Atari 2600! big_smile

Synthcart / Paul Slocum's compiled tracker sequencer thing / Loop cart / cTrix tracker / and my MIDI interface once it comes out are all possibilities!

The firmware is tiny! Not sure, but i'd say easily less than 16k...

Can't help you with the rest, though it's weird that World Grand Prix has a mapper at all (I thought it didn't need one??)

I hope soon... I bought express shipping...!!
