Making music with the Altair 8800
- ZenoArrow 12y agoInterestingly, first real use the Homebrew Computer Club came up with for the Altair 8800 was making music: http://startup.nmnaturalhistory.org/gallery/story.php?ii=46 http://startup.nmnaturalhistory.org/gallery/story.php?ii=46 Never realised “Fool on the Hill” was the first tune demonstrated, had thought it was "Daisy".
- mark_l_watson 12y agoTwo friends at work each bought an Altair. One was able to get the Daisy playing program to work and one couldn't. I shortly thereafter bought an Intercept Junior, a PDP-8 simulator. Good times.
- listic 12y agoHow many original Altair 8800's were made? Shouldn't there be enough around that one could just buy it, if so inclined?
- zokier 12y agoIt would be cool to see some sort of MIDI controller on the Altair so it could talk directly to synths instead of using a macbook as a synth.
