Sad to say but the release of SoundWorks will be delayed about a month or so.
Work 50-60 hrs. a week for other people GETS in the way of my work. %-( but I
should have most of this month to work on it.  To get back into things with the
MM/1 I'm going to spiff up MPLAY a little by completeing the converter by
adding the CT-VOC format support.

About HISS.  For most of my testing I use a portable CD player or tape deck.
The input levels are lower than expected by the MM/1 audio port because the
port is expecting -2.5V to +2.5V (or 5V pp) input.  Best thing to do is use a
short shielded cable.  At one time I built a little op-amp circuit to boost up
audio output of a stereo tape deck... What I really should do is set down and
build a audio BOX for the MM/1.  You know, nothing real fancy but with
filtering and level matching with an indicator of some type.

I doubt that the MM/1 audio port has any filter?  Anyone?

I've considered many possibilities for audio applications using the MM/1 as the
engine but FUNDING to develop all this neat-o software has to come from
somewhere.  I've been told that if a full package of audio processing goodies
were develop for UNIX that such would be marketable at $20,000 to $30,000, GET
REAL %-).

I think the MM/1 will be limited in attraction for serious users because of the
audio resolution but attractable in price to home/amateur/student/... users.  I
may be wrong?  If you interested in a collaboration of some sort I'd be
interested.
