I think of this too. And I break it down into ads and operations. An ad is simply summing two inputs of some kind. In operation, might be a change of state or an input coming online or going away. Something analogous to the bit operations a

It does not take 100Mhz to do that. A while back I bought a FastChip for my Apple 2e. That delivers a 16Mhz 65C02 or 65C816 (I bought the latter option) The trick to getting superfast Applesoft is to copy it into the card fast RAM. Otherw

Would they not just mooch the address off the address bus?

There are a few: If you need rapid, real time responses to external signals, the faster clocked 8 bitters are excellent! Many chips can get into an interrupt service routine in just a handful of cycles. In tandem with this, these devices

You are not kidding! I just sent a quick note to CMJ in recognition of what I must call a sustained, exemplary act of community management. Reading that was gratifying. That team should feel really good about their work.

Indeed. HYBRID DED is going to be the answer to many of those scenarios. Basically, we couple subtractive with additive and maximize the benefits of both. Done right the risks are greatly reduced as are costs compared to just doing it the

Right now there are mandates to build out the manufacturing base needed for military efforts. They know the tech sent off shore will, for the most part, remain off shore. Additive manufacturing, an example of "latest tech", is a p

Spot on. What happens when AI systems can work around IP? This gets done all the time now. It is going to be way cheaper.

Ok, these guys are great! I am watching the superstylin video right now! Lol, that near futuristic handheld locator, and their over the top, lightly overdrive, "in your face" production style hit solid. That trombone part: well

Lol, "git "er done" moments right there. I have had my share too. Good stuff.

That is a great soundscape

I identified with that guy having made something similar that would only work where it was made. I am not sure many of us find ourselves having done that.

"explain it like I’m an engineer?" I am mooching that. Great phrase!

"Capable" As in capable of amplifying the low signal from the speakers reasonably without too much noise. There is likely a proper term I do not know.

Look at dynamic microphones. Check this out: (this is where I got the idea of recording through speakers) In 8th grade, I took apart a dynamic microphone I had picked up from radio shack. It was essentially a tiny speaker! Naturally, I w

It is the phase relationships for sure! Those are what places everything. Well, most everything. Frequency response changes do it too. Front/Back for example. Frequency response curves are very different. If the overall EQ is close,

Turns out it was! But, the amazing outcome was limited to playback on that system. Playback on another one sounded good, even better than mine, but the illusion I described was not there.

Nope. Left them in position. Moving things tends to break the illusion.

I had smaller 3" drivers mounted high, near the ceiling. In the cabinet with them were even smaller tweeter type, dome shaped that I am sure picked up the high end. I am not sure I used the big drivers at all for recording. Hard to r

When I was a high schooler, I built a system in my room. Like this amazing thing, it was something I felt needed to stay intact. I can identify with the guys last wish and also know for sure it won't ever happen. Honestly, it was OK.

I have heard it a few times. This really depends on what local lexicons you are exposed to.

To emulate that feature in a development tool for the Parallax Propeller (FlexSpin), a sequence of labels was used. on X goto a, b, c, d, e, 10000, Fred While not quite the same, the core need is addressed and compiles to a fast jump table.

Right! The Apple ][ game loads are very fast. Those are the ones I remember.

This looks and plays great! My favorite version of this game runs on the Apple ][ and I am going to fire mine up and have a go this evening to hear the goofy 1 bit sounds. To play on Android, I had to connect a keyboard.

I second the request to expand. I do not understand your comment and I want to. Got a link we can use to get some insight maybe?

I think it should be used when one needs a fast, deterministic field of branches. When I used them, I would use boolean in the math to insure the input value was bounded properly. X = (Y > 5) and Y (for systems setting true to -1 all bit

I still have my 6809 book. Back then, Motorola would send docs for the asking. I actually went to a field office where one of their engineers sat with me for a while! Very cool. Started on 6502, friend got Color Computer, and I loved 6809

Exactly and why I wrote my comment above. I would add the computed goto, as in something like: GOSUB (X * 100) Is really fast, and using switch, or case, or a set of if, then, else statements can work, but not work well. There are times whe

I agree, and frankly having gone from BASIC to 6502 assembly language, GOTO made perfect sense. What I like most, and still enjoy today when possible, is how open the hardware is! For someone wanting to know how computers work, it is damn t

They did mind ceding rights, and that is where it all breaks down for a lot of people.
