Okay, understood .. thanks.

.. seems the Pandora crowd have re-discovered my previous port of Oricutron for Pandora, and we're now preparing a new release, being discussed here: http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/17509-laigle-dor/ Info about the Pandora here: http://boards.openpandora.org/page/homepage.html .. so the Pandora ...

Yeah its the serial hardware that I'm unsure of .. would be especially nice if there were some way to do it with the Cumulus onboard ..

Hey - great to hear from you and have your insight into the situation! I'd love to hear more about your experience with the Microtan 65. I'd only ever read about it in some scant magazines, and mostly it was just the ad. I have an excellent-condition Atmos for you if you make me a fair price. I pick...

When I next get asked why I even bother with these 'ancient' computers any more, I will just print this out and insist that the interrogator read the thing: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-31450389 The thing is, I truly believe that keeping an Oric-1/Atmos archive living, as a persistent...

Yes, that's what I meant by portamento .. so he's doing this by controlling the chip externally and not by a portamento/slide parameter in the AY .. bummer. Well, its still interesting to me to create an Oric-based synth .. the question then becomes, how to add MIDI to a stock Oric ..

I just saw the demo here: http://puremagnetik.com/post/110184916790/ableton-live-pack-kontakt-instrument-intellivision .. and was wondering if anyone knew how they got the Portamento-like sound out of the AY chip .. its the second sound in the demo (which can't be seeked, unfortunately) .. I don't r...

Hialmar: link? I'd be happy to test this out ..

I confess - I didn't actually spot one, I wanted you guys to do it. I just knew there was one in there somewhere ..

BBC asks: "How much is a retro-computer worth?"

Did you see the Oric?

Wow, I have to check out your additions to PictConv ..

Wow, I am really impressed by the new graphics .. looking forward to future updates!

Well, we only met (in Perth) about 4 or 5 times, but I think there was another user group in Melbourne, they may have made a bit more noise on the scene than we did. I got my Oric, incidentally, because my Dad was an acquaintance of the fellow who handled the import to Australia, whose name I've for...

I started my computing interest at the same time I started my music-making interest. The Oric was my first computer; in those days I also had my own little multi-track tape rig set up for audio-hacking, too. Copying tapes was too easy. Well .. it was pretty hard to get Oric software. You really had ...

I've since discovered ASMOS, in case anyone is interested - its pretty much a very usable asm/disasm on Oric..

All the basics are there, asm, disasm, block copy, block entry, ascii dump, etc. Quite usable ..
