Basic Stamp Digital Audio...

Archiver

Hello, I am interested in doing some audio/music applications with
the basic stamp. Here are some of the things I am interested in
doing, and some questions I have about it.

1. I would like to be able to play back several sound samples at the
same time (preferable at 16 bit, 44.1 Khz sound quality, but that
isn't as important). I have seen kits for playing samples using the
basic stamp, however none of them allow multiple samples to play at
once. I have searched the internet for some sort of rs232 device, or
1-wire device, etc., that can do something like this, and have not
been able to find anything. Is there any device like this? Is there
a way to do it WITHOUT a device like this?

2. I would like to algorithmicly generate sound samples from a
program in the basic stamp and play them. Is the basic stamp too
slow to do things like this? How powerful is the math in the Basic
Stamp's basic language.

3. Is their some sort of Audio Experimenter kit for the basic stamp?

Any sort of feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks
Jason

You'll probably have to come up with a custom solution as the Stamp can only
send one serial command at a time. You could, perhaps, create a small
network of sound modules, load each with a sound file to play, then send a
"play all" command that they would all respond to.

Again, this would be a custom design. Check into ISD chips for sampling and
storage.
