Actually, right now the CX16 has the YM2151, SAA1099 (only 1), and the PSG/PCM parts of the VERA chip. 8 YM + 6 SAA + 16 VPSG + 1 VPCM = 31 channels!!! A question you might think is "Why have 2 PSG's in the system instead of just 1?". As you may have heard, the SAA is more AY-like, while the VPSG is more SID-like (except it's a bit cut back in features). The SID-like sound is what C64 fans would want to have for a brand-new Commodore-inspired retrocomputer.

Lassi Kinnunen So you’re saying that a parallel port dongle with a TSR program to configure it makes more sense to you, than remotely installing a physicals switch somewhere on the case of your computer ? I don’t think so dude, an extra DOS driver is going to be much more prone to having a spew. You wouldn’t have to install the switch’s on a port panel on the back, you could easily just drill a hole in the front and bung then wherever you want.

@@sirspate Just what I thought. Also potentially sending several Mhz through simple wires over like 50 cm-1m is probably also not a good idea.

@TexElec
@TexElec 4 жыл бұрын
I really thought about putting a switch on the back, but honestly, I was already a little terrified about putting both clocks next to each other already. I was only brave enough to try it, because it worked ok on the X16 prototype, but the CPU is NEVER happy about switching on the fly. There are two clocks, one from the ISA bus (14.318) and one derived from an 8MHz crystal on the card. David didn't mention it in the video, but there are actually two jumpers. You can swap the SAA's from 7.16Mhz or 8Mhz too. There were a few platforms which ran the SAA @ 8Mhz, but the CMS was 7.16Mhz. I already needed the extra 4MHz for the YM2151 so it kind worked out to use 8 and divide. However, now I have 4 clocks(5 really)! I know it's not ideal, but I made the jumpers intentionally difficult to change. I really want people to turn the machine off to switch them. I also did look at some programmable oscillators too, but they are pretty much all TWI or SPI. I have tried to use SPI on ISA before by using a port to select the chip, but SPI wants that line to stay selected until you finish a sequence, and you really have no control over the ISA bus. The only other method would be to use a microcontroller, or some other logic to drive this line, but honestly, there are nearly 100 parts on this card now. It actually wound up being fairly complicated before the end. :-) That said, it will probably work ok to put a switches on it. Probably coax would be best and you could hook an SPDT straight to the jumper headers. Also, I may, or may not have switched it while on before and nothing died. However, if you do this in the middle of the song, you're probably going to hear some garbage until you restart the song, etc.

@@Kevinsyel It's very likely, however, that the X1 version of this track was arranged by Koshiro's former co-worker, Mieko Ishikawa, who took over music duties for Sorcerian after its first release on the NEC PC-88. Koshiro's PC-88 original has less voices due to being composed for the less capable YM2203 (OPN) sound chip, though both versions use the same PSG arrangement.

8:17 featured in a Arcade game, but Rydeen is actually originally a song by Yellow Magic Orchestra released a few years before (as told by the software, in the "Solid State Survivor" album in '79, along with great hits such as Tong Po). Also the Harrier song at 8:45 is also the starting screen music on Japanese Master Systems (which happen to be different of Western ones, as they have a special FM synthesis chip) if you start the console without pluging a game !

Dave, I am SO happy that you made a show about the Gameblaster/CMS sound card!!! A couple of things: 1. This was the first dedicated sound card for my PC, so I remember it very fondly. Programming it was a bit of pain (back in those days) due to the programming guide Creative sent you. I remember having to pay for it. And they sent what felt like a photocopied pamphlet. It also had errors in it, hence the frustration of not quite hearing what you wanted after reading it a couple of times (in those days I was so-so with my x86 assembly). I can’t find a link to a scan of it, so I’ll see if I can find it and post it here. (I’m sure it’s somewhere out there) 2. My friends (to this day!) feel that the game Times of Lore is a great example where the card actually stood should-to-shoulder with the MT-32/MPU-401 (or the combined LAPC-1 card, which I had as well). Here is a very thorough play through of the intro and title music -> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqdxq5Wbrt7DqHU.html. The title screen music is LONG, so skip to around 5:22 to hear the intro songs. Perhaps the version of ToL on other machine are better, but it’s (IMHO) a great example. 3. Some EE friends and I were going to build a synth module with a quad configuration of Phillips SAA-1099s. I had a AVR microcontroller (ATmega368, I think...) already programmed to accept MIDI input, deal with channel allocation and voice stealing, control a cool LCD screen with low-res graphics displaying all of the card’s parameters (per voice and global), CC events for the envelopes, program change events for presets we made, both quarter inch (line-level) and 1/8 inch outputs, etc, etc, etc. We never finished, though we had a working prototype (the filtering required for decent output was... interesting :) ). I think I have 100 or so of the chips in plastic tubes in storage. I should really finish it... Apologies for the novel, but I just loved this card!

Wow, that's my first computer! At least the first I had to myself and not a "family computer". Mine was the Tandy model and was a 386 but I'm positive that was the same case and layout. I spent so much time scouring computer magazines and trying to scrape up money as a 12 year old to add memory, bigger hard drive, a CD-ROM, Sound Blaster, etc. to what was really an already old outdated computer--but it was the one I had! Never thought I'd see one of those again.

That sound at 4mz is very good, that computer your building is going to be awesome. Graphics, music, speed is going to be retro on steroids. The machine will run for decades to come I bet. I had a Yamaha sound card for my older computer and it vastly improved my sound quality.

Hey it's a GRiD computer! Really cool to see them get some recognition even if it's one of the later Tandy systems! Covering GRiD is still the most popular thing we ever did
