To hear just how good these results are, you can play the music samples included on this month's Antic Disk. No special digitizer hardware is required for playing back the sounds recorded into your 8-hit Atari by the Antic Sampling Proessor. We are looking forward to your Disk Bonus submissions which employ digitized speech and sound effects, created with The Antic Sampling Processor. Is Cheap by Ed Stewart gave specifications for an 8-bit Atari digitizing circuit on which the ASP hardware is loosely based. The new circuit was designed by John Shook and Jim Burgess of the Disneyland Sound Department.
Some commercial recordings have various sounds and vocals recorded in reverse.
Antic Sampling Processor is compatible wit Hybrid Arts' MIDI interface and any MIDI-capable synthesizer. To record your own samples, you will need to build the digitizer as shown below. However, you can run Antic Sampling Processor and play pre-recorded files without a digitizer. The Atari paddle controllers are analog input devices. Turning the knob to the right lowers the resistance, so the capacitor charges up quickly.
