Taking advantage of the Falcon's built-in 32 MHz DSP56001 and 16-bit audio codec.

Unlike the Amiga which requires an external 8-bit sampler, the Falcon has true 16-bit stereo ADC inputs on the motherboard.
A 256-point complex FFT is computed every 10 milliseconds, displaying a live spectrogram on a standard VGA monitor.

Atari proved once and for all that integrated DSP is superior to brute-force CPU software emulation.

Too bad Atari marketing was so incompetent that nobody bought the Falcon before they pulled out of the computer market.

Atari Falcon vs Amiga 1200 flamewar in 3... 2... 1...
