"The Atari POKEY was the classic soundchip in the Atari 8-bit home computers and many 1980's arcade games. This clip shows some of my experiments in driving a POKEY from MIDI. A PIC receives MIDI data and two 74HC595 shift registers are used to assemble the 12 lines of bus data for the POKEY so it can be driven from a humble 14 pin PIC16F688. A 6N139 isolator is placed between MIDI in from PC and the PIC's serial input. The POKEY is clocked at 2MHz from the PIC's internal clock output.

I am using REAPER to sequence some MIDI files I found on the internet. Credit goes out to the authors of these MIDI files.. also to YouTube member little-scale, whose clips inspired me to poke about with the POKEY in the first place, and Bryan Edewaard, whose crib sheet I could not have done this without."

CoolColJ Alesis Andromeda A6 Roland Samples

I was recently chatting with Mr. Array of Ocean Orbit about the Andromeda A6. I remembered some samples by Co0lColJ that did an amazing job at emulating classic Roland sounds. The A6 has two filters, one modeled on the classic Moog and one modeled on the Oberheim SEM. You might not expect the A6 to be capable of Roland timbres. You can the find samples here. Note all drum sounds are the Andromeda as well.

Moog Modular V2.5 Filter examples

via UniQue Werkx in the comments of this post.

Update via UniQue Werkx in the comments: "the first sound is based on Radiostern by Kraftwerk, the second is RUSH's famous Tom Sawyer OB-X filter FX. The third is similar to Van Halen's "1984" type filter sweeps. Fourth is similar to Gary Numan's Car's Poly Moog lead (Vox Humana). The fifth is a based on the classic Moog bass sound in a random sequence. The sixth is a high res sequence and the seventh is a high reso bass sequence with lots of filter modulation."

Update via UniQue Werkx in the comments: "I just did another example of RUSH's Tom Sawyer sweep on the Moog Modular V2.5. Of course, it's originally done on an Oberheim OB-X. I actually think this is better and closer to the sound then the OP-X does! The OP-X is a VST plug-in that's modeled after the Oberheim OB-X. However, I think the new Moog Modular filters are actually able to get a closer to the Oberheim OB-X filter! Just listen....
