There's quite a bit of 1-bit music out there for the PC, PET and other systems that only had a speaker, some of it remarkably good; should be possible to use similar techniques and even the same sound files on the M100.
Re MIDI: there was a project years ago to use an M100 as a MIDI sequencer; IIRC the baud rate was 'close enough'. I cobbled together an interface for a proof-of-concept and it seemed to work OK; never went beyond that though ;-( m ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Pettit" <[email protected]> To: "Model 100 Discussion" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2022 3:59 PM Subject: [M100] M100 Audio / music > Hey gang, > > I was trying to use the Linux based tools I wrote to create something a > little more advanced than WCCARD.BA.
