Slenk) Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: Sound In? Message-ID: Date: 14 Dec 88 15:47:45 GMT Organization: Carnegie Mellon Lines: 16 Howdy all! I saw an advertisement (in sharper image catalog) for a unit that takes voice input and then gives a smooth, instrumental output. This allows one to play instruments through humming, singing etc, freeing the person of learning how to play the real thing. It struck me that the SID chip is a full synthesizer. Couldn't it be set-up to do much the same thing, but with greater variety? The chip is designed to work on input, to modify it, so you can daisy-chain them for complex sounds. How does the 64 do this? Does it have a port where I could stick a mic and then have an assembly program take this data and use it to create the output sounds? Any help (input :-)) would be appreciated! Sincerely, Jon Slenk / js9b CMU.
