Speaking of Atari music, anyone remember that music player & sequencer from Antic Magazine? It was the one with blinking bars across the screen and could also display lyrics with highlights as it played. It had some of the songs from this list, but a lot more and you could programatically add more if you took the time to figure out how the sequencer worked. (And that had 2 or 3 different ways of timing and setting note/sound values.) I'd like to see that demo'ed if anyone can still find it.

Midi is a protocol developed in '82. This is pre-midi. You had to be pretty creative to work with only 4 sounds.
-
By casuality, do you have the coding for them? (Sound x,x,x,x and such)

"If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."
30 years ago this is pretty much how all computers sounded. If it wasn't for these early and earlier steps the sound capabilities you now take for granted would have never happened.
Ignorance is bliss though!

Wow. The sound is so life-like, I feel like I'm in a recording studio hearing a live performance!!! This is miraculous, mankind's greatest achievement ever - no question about that at all. Just mind-blowing. And if that weren't enough, the "YOUR REQUEST?" prompt is superb - thousands upon thousands of wonderful songs all a few keystrokes away! My stars!

what software is it?
-
Yes I do. I played that thing till my ears bled. It's "Antic Music Processor" or AMP. Google will turn up confirmation. That program is the reason I know the lyrics to "Major-General's Song" and "When A Felon's Not Engaged In His Employment" by Gilbert & Sullivan.

Thanks for posting this, brings back memories.
By any chance do you know or have the loading music for the States and Capitols program on the Atari 800? It was a cassette game that when loaded it played vintage Disco music.
I remember the tape eventually went bad and the game would crash, the the song was worth it :).

Man, these midi songs rock! Reminds me of '85! I hooked it all up to my stereo with the audio out. Air Wolf theme sounded awesome! :)
