Dave makes some magical things to make me read } } I recall that a couple of years ago someone was working on a sound } sampler. I think it could sample sound, and play it back. Basically an A/D } and D/A converter. I think it plugged into the ROM socket. } } Does anyone have any information about this?
Yes, I have information and also it! It's the amadeus system. The rom socket was used as the host for a network, and then each hardware application get it's own module. a host for PC was also available, and you could even connect a QL to a PC via this network. One of the module is a sound A/D & D/A. (mono) (amasound !) It was provided with a micro and a speaker. Sound format was highly compressed (about 4 bits per sample, using a hard-coded proprietary algorithm). I tried to find information to convert existing sound files into this format, or even just to be able to perform some volume adjustment on a recorded sound, and only end up with the conclusion that unless being able to obtain the full math, it was impossible. -- Grimbert Jérôme
