SSG support isn't a big deal if we can control it via FMDrive using the little-scale CC list. The actual ym2612 is just a big list of registers, so once the hardware is in it's just raw lines of code to make the callbacks to handle the CC events ;) This hardware definitely can't keep up with PCM bei...

Thanks for the suggestions, everybody. I finally got around to wrapping this thing up, and have sent a board design out to be built. The first set will probably be broken since this is my first time working with anything analog or with two separate power supplies, but we'll see how it goes. :) Every...

Yeah, I'm interested! I've been fiddling with a Teensy-operated ym2612 for a couple years off and on and I've been meaning to get a PSG working to go with it. Controlling it via SPSG would be a massive timesaver. I might be able to come up with a good way to do the SID sound without lag via hardware...

"Proper key off" as opposed to decay/sustain expiry. There comes a point after which you start getting limited returns. The MegaDrive is kind of noisy, and it's hard to get perfect output from a real ym2612 in the first place (ask me how I know, I was working on an amplifier and a mixing circuit to ...

It's not easily distillable into a wiki page. The NES has a square and triangle wave generator with 5 channels, and that's all you get. The YM2612 is basically a synthesizer with a real ADSR envelope and LFO and feedback and everything that goes with it. In order to make a wiki page with the same le...

From the videos, that's the most blatant alternate console Mario ripoff I've seen since Giana Sisters. The only thing it seems to be missing is proper level layouts. Mario 3 sprite + Mario Land Goombas = hilarity ensuing ;) haha yo check it out, it got a sequel http://store.steampowered.com/app/223...

It might be better for me to migrate off PAK and to something else. The only difference between PAK and TFI I think, besides the parameter-to-byte order, is that PAK has a header to contain the name of the instrument. It would probably be better for me to change and to consolidate on a standard file...

I've been having some problems with op amps as voltage followers and preamps. I think the switching speed on them is too low or something and it causes distortion. The way the ym2612 does multichannel output is with time-division multiplexing, which it seems lots of cheap op amps have problems with....

Dual-YM2612 hardware synthesizer
Heya peoples, I finally got around to making some schematics for my dual-YM2612 synthesizer. There might be some bugs in the layout and my EE knowledge is limited so I may have done some dumb stuff. Rough draft ahead. This device takes MIDI input through a standard 5-pin MIDI DIN connector, generate...

Learning how to make music so I can actually use the 2612 synth I made
Also saving up for one of these http://www.mydiycnc.com/full_product so I can mill the circuit board myself.
