ATARI POKEY 8-bit Computer Sound on PIC32

YouTube Published on Apr 19, 2012 by markusgritsch

"Hi,

I successfully compiled the ASAP (Another Slight Atari Player) library [1] for a PIC32MX795F512H. ASAP emulates a 6502 CPU and the famous POKEY sound chip [2] used for example in the ATARI 400/800 and XL/XE 8-bit computers. To say it with Wikipedia's words: POKEY's sound is distinctive :)

About 60 tunes (worth about 2.5 hours of music) taken from ASMA (Atari SAP Music Archive) [3] are included and stored in the PICs flash memory. D0 is the left and D1 the right PWM channel.

The source code is available here: http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=3944

Key Frame Animation & Synthesis from 1971

YouTube Uploaded by wasbuxton on Aug 7, 2011

"This is a digital dub of a 7 minute, 45 second 16 mm film produced in 1971 by the National Research Council of Canada, in Ottawa. It demonstrates not only one of the first ineractve computer systems for animation, one used for production, it was also an outstanding example of early user-centred design.

The system was developed by Marceli Wein and Nestor Burtnyk, both of whom won Academy Awards for this influential work. For some additional information, see also:

Burtnyk, N. & M. Wein, M. 1976. Interactive Skeleton Techniques for Enhancing Motion Dynamics in Key Frame Animation, Communications of the ACM, 19(10), 564-584 ."

Via the film starting at 6:45: "Music in this film was produced on the same interactive computer facility with the aide of a music package being developed at the same time."
