Well, since MSPL is under beta testing now, is not so easy to say something about prices, i'll send an article about the price when MSPL will be ready for launch. The system requirements for MSPL is: AmigaOS 1.3 or later, 1Mb of RAM (chip or fast). However, it runs on 512Kb too, but, of course, it generates short samples. I'll be happy to reply to any question and talk about MSPL programming techniques, just ask!

OK, I want a 400Hz sine frequency modulated with 10Hz beginning at -30dB and ending after 3 seconds at 0dB. I want it to be a 16 bit sample with 44.1K samples/second. Can I build subroutines and use their results later, say mix the output of two subroutine sounds? How long does it take to compute that sample (68030, 28Mhz, math co-processor)? How does the code look for that? Do you have a formal language description? Can you post it? What research (if any) does MSPL build on? When will the paperless office arrive? (Oh, guess I got carried away there :-) Sounds like an interesting project! | Antonello Biancalana | Music composition, Sound Synthesis, -- Leonard

MSPL is a programming language and it can use any kind of sound that is recorded in IFF/8SVX format. - Antonello -- -- ___________________________________ _____________________________________ | | | | Antonello Biancalana | Music composition, Sound Synthesis, | | ProMIND - Italy | DSP and computer music: these are | | Software analysis and development | my favourite wonders. | |___________________________________|_____________________________________| UUCP: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!cbmehq!cbmita!promind!antonello

You can set the sampling rate, make your custom waves, tune your oscillators, filters, and all the other things you need to make a great sound. Sorry for the 16 bits, MSPL supports the internal audio circuitery of the Amiga, but we're searching for a good 16 bits cards to upgrade MSPL (why Commodore does not upgrade Amiga with 16 bits sampling resolution ?). MSPL can be used on any Amiga configuration and support the FPCP. > How does the code look for that? Do you have a formal language > description? Can you post it?
