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.
The 14.2 Hz peak shows up as a bright white vertical line against the blue background noise.

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.

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
