Description

TIA2600 is a MAXMSP/gen~ emulation of the Atari 2600. It works in Ableton Live, and a stand-alone program is in the works.

My emulation retains the original non-tuning and (by design) 1-bit “waveform” resolution of the Atari, its 4-bit volume scaling, and tone order, although this device it’s clocked at your Mac or PC’s sampling rate instead of the original 30kHz. The exact behavior of the LFSR’s multiple pattern interactions has been reproduced where possible.

TIA2600 also features an additional pitch-bend function, something normally not available in the original hardware.

You will also find a demo Ableton project inside the .zip. This device is open source.
