I am in need of some assistance.......

I recently finished a homemade Audio Digitizer (the hack based on the ADC0804)
and tried to use AniMan. I followed all of the instructions for defining
the responses and commands and all. then I tell it to go and run the actually
AniMan stuff, the head comes up, eyes blink once and then, BANG!!!! GURU.....
What's the deal??? It all works fine with VCLI v4.0.... 

My setup is:

A500 w/512K CHIP
       512K FAST
Spartan HD controller
Quantum 105Meg HD
HomeMade Audio Digitizer
KS v1.2 (I know, I know, GET 2.0!!!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.......

--Mike Kopack

PS: for all those who wanted more info on the digitizer hack, I need to redraw
the schematic picture (there were numerous mistakes in the one I was given)
and I will put it up on WUARCHIVE next week sometime.

One of my PRIMARY motivations for buying an '030 accellerator for my
2000 was to improve the refresh rate of the bar editor in Music-X, but
sadly it seems to have little effect with my current configuration
which only has 512K of SRAM (usually filled with ROM). I plan to buy
2MB of 32-bit DRAM when I can afford it. Should I expect to see any
dramatic improvement with the Bar Editor screen when I do? It would
REALLY be nice if the forthcoming 2.0 release of Music-X utilized the
FPU! (At very least I hope they clear up all the 'loose ends' from the
current version!!)

is that it will be released in the not too distant future).  This Three-

rack-mountable stereo analog-to-digital converter, and sample-editing software.

Its prerelease specs indicate that it will support 16 simultaneous voices,

sampling rates up to 96K sps in mono, and up to 16MB of onboard RAM, as well

as provide a MIDI port, a slot for direct-to-disk interface card and fully

$1295 - I think this is right :)  We'll have to wait for its release to know

for sure, though.

Your code loses bytes of incoming data because of excessive 
disable periods in the operating system. The problem happens with 
quite regularity on 68000,68010 machines running Kickstart 1.3, 
and short of some draconian techniques, there's not much else one 
can do to fix it. It's related to the vertical blanking period 
handler and the use of interrupts generated by devices of higher 
priority than the Read-Buffer-Full interrupt. Unfortunately, the 
high resolution CIA timer delivers rupts of higher priority than 
the RBF.

I've tested this stuff on my A3000, both KS1.3 and 2.03 and it 
appears that the sheer speed of this machine overcomes the 
problem. I was told that KS2.0 fixed a lot of the excessive 
disablement stuff, and perhaps KS 2.0 on a 68000 machine might 
help this out too.

Anyone out there running KS2.0x on an A1000 or A500?

	I can think of two possibilities to satisfy the requirements
of the original poster, to slow down speech without changing the
frequency.
	Since a single persons speech in English does not typically vary much
in pitch it is possible to get fairly decent results by multiplying the slowed
down sample by a sinusoidal wave that has a frequency equal to the difference
between the original and the new pitch of the voice.  For example if someones
speech averages at 2000Hz and you slow it down to 75% of its original speed
you would multiply the signal by a 500Hz sine wave.  This would cause the
voice to be heard at both 2000Hz and 1000Hz, if the lower frequency is a
problem you can filter it out.
	The other solution that comes to mind is more complicated, but retains
harmonics.  Run the signal through a FFT.  Stretch the resulting array by the
amount you want to slow it down. You now have two choices.  Either run this
array through an inverse FFT, and play it back at the original sample rate.
Or only take the lower points producing an array the size of the original run
this through an inverse FFT, and play back at a reduced sample rate.

Well, just want to warn everyone, I just moved from New York and I knew about
Beta Unlimited thanks to the AC Guide from 1991.  Anyways, I worked for a 
dealer there and I called Beta Unlimited to find out what they were up 
too.  When I called, there was only an answering machine, and it sounded
about 10 years old, and to boot the message said nothing about Beta Unlimited.
To make a long story short, they never called back, and I had said in my message
that we would like to carry their product or beta test it.
 
I'd love to see a product from these guys, but it's been all vapors from
where I'm standing.

Yes, you can get the sources to my module player, MultiPlayer, on various
FTP sites.  Note that it's under the GPL, so if you put parts of it into
your own program, then your program also has to be GPL (or else don't 
distribute it at all).

If you check out the new (AmigaDOS 2.0) Amiga ROM Kernel Reference
Manual: Devices, you will find a list of all the known IFF formats.  One
of them is AIFF, a more generic audio format than the commonly used (on
the Amiga) 8SVX.  It has the advantage of doing n-bit samples in
arbitrary numbers of channels.  So, stereo 16 bit sound (CD quality) is
within its capabilities, unlike 8SVX which is restricted to 8 bit sound
samples. 

I don't know of any AIFF sample players for the Amiga.  It shouldn't be
to hard to write one, if you have the skills and time.

with an old version of ST, and it works, but it is very slow.  It consumes
almost all of my raster time, and this is not acceptable!  What I'm
interested in is a tighter piece of code, one that will run in a
non-multitasking environment (such as demos).  Can anyone help me?

Also, has anyone gotten MED's source to actually play modules in a
non-multitasking environment?  I tried using his flags to ignore audio
device, and turned his timing off completely to handle it myself, but it
does not work.  Teijo, you on the net, man?  Am I just a moron or is this a
bug in the code?  ;)
