You can combine voices and incorporate the sound routines in your own programs. Insomnia is excellent for beginners who are experimenting with ATARI’s sound, because it eliminates the need the deal with confusing numerical data. INSOMNIA (A SOUND EDITOR), REV. 1.1 by Bob Fraser Recommended for BASIC programmers Written in BASIC and machine language Generate to four-second sounds with up to four-voices It's sound editing package gives you an easy and enjoyable method for generating a complex (four-voice) sound or a few simple sounds lasting up to four seconds. You can install the sounds in your BASIC programs through a machine language subroutine included in INSOMNIA that lets your program run unimpeded by the sounds. Thus, your program isn't slowed down by its sounds, but it can turn these sounds on and off at will. You select the sound parameters and plot your points using a Joystick Controller, a Paddle Controller, or both. Working with any of the ATARI Computer's four sound generators, you immediately hear the changed sound each time you plot a I^int. You can play your sound either continuously or once only, and you can isolate one voice for modification or you can combine voices to hear, the overall effect. INSOMNIA also can produce very low and very high frequency sounds not attainable with conventional sound generating methods. You em saw and recall sounds on diskette for further revision. Revision 1.1 corrects bugs in one of the demonstration programs. REVIEW COMMENTS This well-designed program is very useful for learning how changing one parameter effects the resulting sound. INSOMNIA supports all four voices, creates, sounds as long as five seconds, and doesn't tie up machine time while g^jemt- the sound in your program, INSOMNIA can load four voices into RAM only once, when your program loads in. Thus, you're limited as to sound complexity or variability within a program REQUIRES ATARI BASIC Language Cartridge One ATARI Joystick Controller One ATARI Paddle Controller We MANY more APX disks for auction and in our eBay store. * International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
