KK - “TIM1T” (Atari 2600) [Oscilloscope View] 

Don't forget that the TIA wasn't supposed to be used for music, it was _far_ too limited.

@@LucasNewton The steam calliope musical instrument from old steam ships has similar limitations to the TIA. Steam calliopes traditionally have 32 notes, and due to them being metal and constantly exposed to the hot steam, they steadily go out of tune. The TIA has 32 pitches and bad tuning. So technically, you could play music written for steam calliope on a TIA.

That is, if you have two steam calliopes

True

It (might) be a volume envelope. I'm not saying it is in fact a volume envelope, it's speculation so don't take this as fact.

yeah it's a volume envelope quickly moving from a low and high volume amount, basically tremolo

weird stuff

This tune was so awesome that people just sat, & listened.

@@ExtremeWreck exactly

Even for hardware made in 1977, This is awesome!

​@@JankPods0201 the sound chip was made for sound effects not music, dont forget that

@@kovy6447 Yea, I am aware of that.

And was not at all designed or intended to produce more than a beep or two for effects.

It's crazy to think, eh?

​@@JankPods0201dank pods long lost brother, jank pods

@@kovy6447 Hehehe lol.

Wrong, it is entirely possible to do plenty on screen with a song like this going on. Matter of fact, this song comes from a demo of the same name for the 2600. I highly suggest you watch it
