Naturally the PC speaker cant do ADSR stuff, or even variable volume (I dont think anyway), so it's just a tone generator at the moment. Also, it only has one voice. In other words- its not at all ideal and where we want to end up. But its a start. Later Ill add actual sound card support, but for now, this will at least get our system making some noises :)
Another note - VirtualBox and some other virtual machines cant emulate the PC speaker. I dont know why (seems like a silly limitation). So SID programs for OS64 will only work on real hardware.
Here's a couple of videos:
This one was my first test.. a little underwhelming - just a few notes being played. The only values I needed to POKE were the SID chip for voice 1, volume (anything > 0) and the hi/lo values for notes. ADSR and waveform stuff can be ignored as they dont do anything.
This next one is 'Mary Had A Little Lamb':
What hardware are you using?
ReplyDeleteThis was running on a little netbook. But I also use a Dell desktop to test, along with VirtualBox
