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. -- Elaine Moreau *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

Too bad Atari marketing was so incompetent that nobody bought the Falcon before they pulled out of the computer market. -- Hana Ramírez Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of The Pipeline Internet Network. ------------------------------------------------------------ From jduarte@cmu.edu Mon Jul 25 13:35:59 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!cmu!jduarte From: jduarte@cmu.edu (Joachim Duarte) Newsgroups: comp.sys.m68k Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] Atari Falcon 030 Motorola DSP56001 code for Stardust carrier extraction Message-ID: <1994Jul25.133559.9614@cmu.edu> Date: Mon, 25 Jul 1994 13:35:59 GMT References: <1994Jul23.100659.8471@titech.ac.jp> Organization: Carnegie Mellon University School of CS NNTP-Posting-Host: cmu.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 10 In article <1994Jul23.100659.8471@titech.ac.jp>, emoreau@titech.ac.jp (Elaine Moreau) writes: > 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 SSI to DSP56001 architecture on the Falcon is magnificent. Zero CPU overhead during 50 kHz audio acquisition. -- Joachim Duarte *PLONK* filter active for trolls. Atari TT030 - NetBSD 1.0
