Great sound from the atari chip, love the kicks.

nerd facts™: the atari 2600 chip uses a clock divider for tones, so the base tuning is technically a "subharmonic" series on an inaudible frequency. on NTSC the tuning "resolution" is around 14 cents near middle C, doubling for every octave up and halving for every octave down. i think the crunchier timbres also give you worse tuning resolution than the pure squares since they have longer periods but are still tied to the same clock

on the pokey there's some mischief you can do to get better tuning accuracy by combining the clocks of two channels but i'm not sure if that's a thing on the tia/2600 at all

edit: as a consequence of the clock divider thing, you should be able to construct just-intonation scales on specific highly-divisible clock divisions... for example, you can get a 5-limit diatonic scale (ptolemy/zarlino)

on a tonic of division 180 (~174 Hz). i don't know of any software that's designed to use the chip in this way though

Interesting!

Reminds me so much of Skate or Die! Digging it!

Beware of the Jredd attack! He’ll leave you ears astounded (and save and sound)!

You still rock my ears ever since back at my College studies! 🔥🔥🔥

May the Thunder be with you!

So cool, this like so cool and nice.

Btw, thanks to your entry I learned something new, thank you for that!

this kicks ass wtf, 7s

Had a coworker that used to occasionally wear an Atari logo shirt to the office. Our security guard was convinced it was a satanic symbol. Therefore, to that guard, this song is a SATANIC ATTACK!

Haha. I was reading through the comments and smiling, and then that last one had me rolling dude. You guys are awesome.
