KORG did an undeniably outstanding job digitizing their equipment. i've acquired them all (incl Gadget 3) bc i'm a Korgwhoar. i could've gotten one as a young teen, but my brother discouraged our parents. lame.

separately: the developers out there sampling more obscure, near-extinct instruments for app development are truly heroic. looking @ you, @hainbach.

"See" the Sounds of Classic Mac Audio 🔊🍏

We're working on the Pico-Mac port https://github.com/jepler/pico-mac/tree/rp2350-fruitjam to Fruit Jam https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200 and one thing we really want to add is sound support for classic Mac games and HyperCard stacks.

Audio on the hardware we're emulating is pretty straightforward: every scanline of the video generator also outputs one byte of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) data. We have 370 horizontal lines—352 visible and 18 during the vsync—at a 60.15 Hz refresh rate, producing approximately 22.255 kHz audio. That data is written to memory address $1FD00 http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/devel/plushw.php so all we have to do now is pipe that 8-bit PWM signal either out to a timer on the RP2350 microcontroller or To the TLV320DAC3100 I²S amplifier onboard Fruit Jam, for that sweet, sweet 'Wild Eep' https://www.facebook.com/adafruitindustries/videos/1873371666122621

virtual (adj.)

late 14c., "influencing by physical virtues or capabilities, effective with respect to inherent natural qualities," from Medieval Latin virtualis, from Latin virtus "excellence, potency, efficacy," literally "manliness, manhood" (see virtue). It preserves Middle English virtue in the sense of "efficacy, power to do."

The meaning "being something in essence or effect not in fact; existing virtually though not actually" is attested from mid-15c., probably via the now-obsolete sense of "capable of producing a certain effect" (early 15c.). Opposed to actual, real, literal.

By 1831 in optics, of apparent images, as in a reflection. The computer sense of "not physically existing but made to appear by software" is attested from 1959, originally of memory.
