As a kid I sometimes played our PET tapes through a tape recorder to listen to the data.
At the time I wondered if data could be written to the tape to play a particular song. Anyone else wonder this and actually try it?
- rusk 8y agoThere was a “Waz” hack back in the day that did the opposite - it read the audio off the cassette and somehow replayed it from the SID ... Otherwise the closest thing I can think of is Aphex Twin’s windowlicker where a particular sound in the song displays Richard D James face in a spectrum analyser ...
- vidarh 8y agoThe super-simple approach to this is to set up the sid and then flick the volume from min to max and back for every 1 read from the tape input in a tight loop. You can probably do many much better variations of this, but that's enough to get recognisable music out.
