[comp.music] help: MIDI, speech synthesis, 8-bit stuff

davisonj@EN.ECN.PURDUE.EDU (John M Davison) (08/28/89)

	This fall I thought I'd dabble with some homemade music-making
schemes, and one idea I got was using an old 8-bit machine to synthesize
speech.

	What I'd like to do get a MIDI interface for the machine and program
the machine to respond as a MIDI instrument, producing speech as the output.

	I am looking for speech synthesis software or hardware for either
the Atari 8-bit machines (I have access to a 1200XL and an 800XL) or the
Commodore 64.  I am also looking for a MIDI interface (like the Hybrid Arts
one for the Atari 8-bitters) for either machine.

	And I'm still looking for a nice 6502 assembler/editor that will
run on Unix (haven't been able to talk to the simtel20.arpa machine).

	Any help would be appreciated.  Lots.
