hi,

My 3rd computer was Amiga 600 (1st - Meritum-1, 2nd-Atari 65XE) and it was great, but it outclasses 8052 by far.

I know, I know. My Amigas were:
- A500+ (Motorola 68000);
- A1200 (Motorola 68020).
Last one was updated to A1200PPC (Motorola 68060@50MHz + PPC603@240MHz, SCSI, SVGA card etc).

I understand that it is so far from 8052. But I think only about emulation of some parts. As I said, I wish MOD player based on 8052. And I will do it anyway when some free time come.

Generating synth sounds might mean some trouble.

No if we take fast MCU with PCA - its modules may be used as PWM for audio channels. Moreover, there are some derivatives which have DACs built-in (for example, from SiLabs).

Ah, and a little specifity, some modules used 2 out of the 4 audio channels, connected, to generate 14bit sample rate instead of the default 8.

Are you sure that they are MODs? As I know, such technique is used to play MP3 with "Paula" chip of Amiga.

I think - the "tracker" command interpreter shouldn't be hard to write

This is my main problem. I have not enough information about sound effects. You see, I am not a musician and all these Arpeggio, Portamento, Tremolo, Slide, Vibrato etc confuce me...

Regards,
Oleg
