Do-it-yourself project: AP420 Renewed Amiga Audio Digitizer

Published 11.10.2022 - 21:37 by osz

In its depths, the Big Book of Amiga Hardware also lists a sampler from Phoenix Micro Technologies, the AP420 Mono Audio Digitizer: https://bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboa ... px?id=1991

wiretap-retro, a GitHub user that you may have noticed here lately, has now created a remake of this sampler. Among other things, the revised extension uses SMD elements and, in addition to a second RCA connection, which combines stereo signals into a mono signal, also offers a TRS (Tip, Ring, and Sleeve) microphone connection for a suitable jack plug. A switch on the circuit board can be used to switch between RCA and TRS inputs. There is also a gain control for adjusting the audio signal strength.

The small extension can be connected to the parallel port of any Amiga and does not require an external power supply. It should be noted, however, that an adapter for the different parallel port assignment is absolutely necessary for the Amiga 1000! Wiretap-retro also provides a suitable solution here in its GitHub projects: https://github.com/wiretap-retro/Amiga- ... -Converter [...]

The Decrunch 2022 Party will take place in Wrocław, Poland, from October 21-23. It is now the seventh edition of this event, which is dedicated to the demoscene and at the same time combines retro computing and retro gaming. The party offers the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with demosceners and fans of 8- and 16-bit computers from the 80s and 90s (Amiga, Commodore, Atari or ZX Spectrum).

This year's event was divided into three parts:
  • Decrunch Intro - Live acts
  • Decrunch Duels - 1vs1 duels
  • Decrunch Party - Demoscene competitions
According to the organizers, everything will be done to allow the event to take place on site, but should the events surrounding COVID-19 make this impossible the event will take place online.

Published 11.10.2022 - 20:46 by osz

ham_convert is a freeware tool developed by Sebastian Sieczko in Java, more precisely a graphics converter. It enables common image formats to be converted into a graphics mode appropriate for the Amiga and high-quality HAM images to be created using a so-called brute force search. ham_convert generates ILBM IFF files in the Amiga graphics modes: EHB, HAM6, HAM8, 2/4/8/16/32/64/128/256 color indexed and PCHG - 4/8/16/32/EHB- modes. With the currently released version 1.8.6, the tool gets improvised multithreading. In addition a code cleanup has been made.

The download of ham_convert can be done from the author's site: http://mrsebe.bplaced.net/blog/wordpress/?p=1533
