How do I go about this? What software do I need? I've been making experimental electronic music for number of years now and would really like to try to make some on an atari platform.

All help appreciated

For experimenting on the A8s there is RMT. There is an RMT player for POKEY enabled 7800s (search the 7800 programmer's forum) but its very old. There aren't any apps that you can run directly on the 7800. An updated RMT player is on my very long list of projects for the XM module.

The 7800 uses the same sound processor as the 2600. There is an audio input on the cartridge connector which was used by a couple of cartridges which included a POKEY (from the 5200).

Attached is a set of samples for all of the "notes" which the TIA can create.

That's cool - thanks for posting!

Considering the sound features and the addition of an SIO port that's going to be added to the 7800 with the upcoming XM expansion, I'm really hoping someone comes along to do a sort of MSSIA for the 7800. The SIO could be used to interface with a MIDI controller, and you can have keyboard and or mouse so...

...here's to hoping.

Here's a free VST for anyone who wants to play around with the YM2151, since it'll be included in the 7800XM: http://www.kvraudio.com/get/228.html
