Re: AppleCrate Synthesizer goes multi-voice...

Amazing, Michael!  I always wondered what it would take to implement a
good-sounding multi-voice synth on an 8-bit Apple II, but never dreamed
of teaming 8 of them together to accomplish it.  Very creative!  And
your NadaNet is just astounding.  Seems very elegant for such a simple
interface.  I don't know how you find the time...

Thanks--I'm glad that you found it interesting.

I'm retired now, so I have a little more time (in fits and starts)
to devote to programming.  NadaNet took several months of effort to
get it the way I wanted it.  The synthesizer application moved along
very quickly once I saw how it could work.  (Of course, it isn't
"done" yet, as I continue to see implications for things like
multiple playing amplitudes for some instrument sounds.)

I consider NadaNet and the AppleCrate to be relatively "mature",
since I have been using both for several months and haven't found
any problems.

After finishing the implementation of multiple voices for
CRATE.SYNTH, I realized that I needed to write some tools
for building sampled voices...

So it took about a week longer than I expected to make
enough "instruments" to play a rendition of In My Life
that I've added to my web site.

It's still pretty rough, with some crude voice substitutions
and some unnecessary distortion in some of the voices, but
it _sure is multi-voice_!

Enjoy!
