sound / SFX / SYNTHESIS? can the bs2 do this?

Mubot

is the bs2 capable of any type of sound effects or synthesis other than the dial tones or the standard freqout beeps???

i love my bs2 and use it for mostly robot stuff, but i also would like to do DIY synth stuff and im having a hard time getting started!

i can find a TON of stuff on how to do it using the ARDUINO (ack!) ... so im looking to the forum as a last ditch effort b4 i cave to the thought of using the arduino

thanks guys

Is this what you're looking for?

no, but thanks for the reply.

im looking to do actual sound effects or sound synthesizing....

i guess i could use my speakjet in conjunction with the bs2 ..but i was hoping for an all in 1 solution....

The Stamp is not really capable of doing any sound synthesis or sound effects other than the FREQOUT or dial tones. It's just too slow in PBasic.

The Propeller is capable of doing very sophisticated sound / voice synthesis and can play WAV files. There are some examples of multi-part singing synthesized in stereo

Actually, for sound effects, unless the SpeakJet does what you want, there is the SoundGin that's
a bit more flexible for that purpose. The SoundGin also comes with some 'canned' effects/sounds
in the PC software that comes with it.

On the other hand, the SoundGin is not a standalone chip -- it needs some type of controller (BS-whatever,
Arduino, etc) to cause it to make sounds. The SpeakJet can operate in standalone mode. Something
you might want to check out!
