Kenny and the Amiga Ireland meet organizers...
... will be posting up a demo of 40 digitally remastered Amiga sound tracks in the next few days. They sound pretty damn hot, but any credit for that goes to the original musicians. They will be a mixture of MP3, Ogg and FLAC, and won't sound good on a real Amiga unless you are running on a Vampire. But they should give an idea of what a proposed sound processor will produce, when connected to the audio output jacks of a real Amiga.
The whole thing was done as a technology demonstrator for a possible add on, like the Omega and Pyramid sound enhancers. Work with any Amiga for quality boost of standard 8 bit playback, with no accelerator overhead. The difference is, it's a proper digital enhancement, and produces much better output. Not as good as a Delfina for quality, but more connectable for those without a clock port.
The hardware to do this WAS ludicrously expensive 20 years ago, but is now affordable. I'm aiming for a $100 price point or less (UK has never had it so good for manufacturing hardware). Rasp Pi and USB sound stick, not that much really.
EDIT: That was quick, I thought it was going to take me longer. Link to download on this thread;-

I've got even more impressive uploads of native Amiga code on the way for visuals, but this one is definitely timed to go out in time for Amiga Ireland to play and wow some crowds. The DR 8bit audio hould be up and available for download by the weekend.
I even put a ringer in there for people to try to tell the difference, and you can download most if not all of the original mods for comparison. I didn't cheat.
