Bob Yannes doesnt give a shit
read this:
http://stud1.tuwien.ac.at/~e9426444/yannes.html
...
now lets read between the lines :
Are you aware of the existence of programs like SIDPLAY, PlaySID,... which emulate the SID chip up to the smallest click ?
I only recently became aware of them (through your website).
Did you believe this was possible to do with your chip?
Since I haven't heard them I'm not sure what we are talking about, however
So, he doesnt even gave a shit to listen to 1 or 2 tunes... sad. |

Well, if you read ON THE EDGE by Brian Bagnall, the original design included a multiplex oscillator that would have given SID up to 32 voices... |

Holy shit, 32 voices need a lot of rastertime... |

Nah, I consider music with more than three channels unnatural and evil anyway. ;) |

I wished for one extra channel sometimes, but not more. :-) |

Of course I did not mean a digi channel. :-) I was referring to a normal voice. |

Mmm, 32 unmodulated voices playing patriotic NTSC-scene music, maybe then there'd have been enough rastertime ;)
(though note fetch would still have to be cleverly split on successive frames, otherwise it could easily gulp half frame or more when each channel starts new note...) |

Not that hard actually.
Just consider that VTR/Music Ass. player eats around 12-16 rasterlines per frame (and it fetches notes each frame, AFAIR), and for 32 channels, you would roughly need 130-170 rasterlines. Sure not much rastertime left for your next killer demo, but well... :-)
Same probably goes for John Player, but I don't know that one's workings.
And for JCH 20.g4, uhh, *that* would take lots of rastertime, if you use it as it is. :-) |
