  • C=64 vs Pipe Organ

    From Ben Collver@21:2/101 to All on Sat Feb 18 10:36:45 2023
    "It struck me that, at least in theory, organ pipes should generate quite primitive sound waves. If so, how come a church organ doesn't sound like a chip tune, which is also built up from simple waveforms? Well, actually it will, if you remove the church. And if you connect a Commodore 64 home computer to a loudspeaker in a large hall, it will sound like an organ."

    Very nice! It still sounds like a C64 (with a loudspeaker in a large hall), but it's not unconvincing.
