Paving the Way for Electronic Organs-on-a-Chip
- codetrotter 6y agoAh, from the title I was expecting this to be about electric organs the musical instruments implemented as electronic sound synthesizers in a single chip. But it was not. Here I was ready to listen to some samples of it and marvel at how they were able to make something at the size of an YM3812 or a MOS 6581 SID, but which sounded indistinguishably from a Hammond organ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM3812 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM3812 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6581 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6581 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammond_organ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammond_organ
- marcan_42 6y agoWell, your smartphone can already simulate a Hammond pretty indistinguishably in a chip pretty much the same physical size as the SID, so... :-)
- stevesimmons 6y agoMe too, though I had a grand church organ in mind, something like this: https://www.orgelsite.nl/naarden-grote-kerk/ https://www.orgelsite.nl/naarden-grote-kerk/ or this: https://youtu.be/NQfSfcsiVyk https://youtu.be/NQfSfcsiVyk But on a chip.

- codetrotter 6y agoThank you that was an excellent substitute :D

- White_Wolf 6y agoHere's for hope that we'll get 1-1 sized, 100% artificial replacement organs within 10 years(I know I'm dreaming but one can hope). Edit: artificial or grown. All those that need a transplant fast would get a second chance(as long as we don't end up with something like Repo Men).
