I agree with that on the quality side, but this is what interested me first :) I mean the character of the CSM speech is pretty unique, like LPC speech is unique for example, very characteristic. I like the "water like" artifacts. Its a bitch to program anyway for speech and I prefer PCM for underst...

I never thought of using this approach, but then again it is not very usable in a game environment (Hint eat lots of power). But same kind of stuff can be got by playing samples over the channels, but that can end up using lot of space, and CPU time is still scarce on the Z80 side... I agree that I...

Great stuff ! 4 sines is kinda little for anything beyond basic vowels though... So here is some example of how to use CSM speech in a basic way. First a reminder : Example of CSM speech in the MSX game Zeilard : http://www.alyjameslab.com/tutorials/MSX_CSM.wav Example of CSM random speech in FMDri...

Really interesting ! I already watched the video severals time :p Thanks for the test rom, i will try to play a bit with tomorrow ! By the way, there is a good example of CSM mode on Sega Megadrive, i don't know if you are aware of it but just in case : http://68000.web.fc2.com/bad_apple.html One o...

Nothin new but simple proof of concept that we simply can add the "SID" sound feature to a simple SN76489 PSG tone channel... I have tested the Z80 Hblank interrupt and use it as a Timer to write Volume data to the PSG register at audio rate... As far as the timer resolution goes, we can synchronize...

This was the very beginning of my noisy tests and researches on the YM2612 chip CSM mode (early speech synthesis tech). These tests have served the development of the FMDRIVE Vsti and the special implementation of the CSM I have used. http://www.alyjameslab.com This is a simple ROM (running on an Ev...

IIRC EG updates every 3 FM update cycles..

Hope you got my beta testing log
keep up the good work!

Just to let you know that FMDrive vst got updated to 1.23! -added extra features and corrections. -accuracy improved again. -GenMDM midi mapping already done on startup for those who have one. Free for all registered user :) UPDATE >> http://youtu.be/Hdlj8Vjof6c what I usually do is making the song ...

Yep, same for CSM :) You can even make some musical notes and unusual waveforms just with one operator and the SSG. The pitch resolution is quite acceptable and become more steppy as you go higher in envelope period (reduce the envelope time). It is quite similar to what you can do with the YM2149 s...

Awesome !

About the LADDER effect ... As previously stated in the FMDrive Vst thread, a simple way to implement the ladder effect is to add the clean output with the following... (same behavior is observed on the hardware when you mute a channel, you still ear the distorted part at lower volume..) This will p...

Regarding the ladder effect, I will post my latest implementation on the YM2612 sticky doc
I finally find a way to implement this at no cpu cost..

YM2612 HARDWARE (non standard creative usage) Setup in these videos is: FMDrive VST sends MIDI data to the GENMDM MIDI interface that sends register writes to the YM2612 chip in REALTIME. REAL HARDWARE USE: Using SSG as a "fake" CSM vocal type effect. (fast SSG envelope can sort of emulate the auto ...
