Thanks in the name of bytes and pieces. Yep that Yamaha chip sounds great, gritty as hell. If the internal data processing is similar a littlebit to the SID chip, it can most likely do something like this.
I bet it is similar and a lot simpler. For each of the 3 channels of YM2149, you have a 2-byte frequency register and a 4-bit volume. Optionally, white noise can be superimposed on any of the channels. The noise generator has a 5-bit register that controls its clock frequency, effectively making a lowpass filter. So you can have noise that is biased towards low frequencies. There is also an advanced feature named "Envelope"; its use is somewhat tricky but not mandatory, many good tunes don't use it altogether. You can check out the DefleMask tracker on PC where you can arrange music for a variety of classical chips.
I was always fascinated by the grittiness of the YM2149. Time will tell, one day I may put my hands on one. But definitely not on DefleMask as I'm not too fond of it Tested for a while and the workflow is not for me.
NecroPolo, ok, I'm looking forward to hear your coming YM2149 tunes! Btw, besides Deflemask, there is also Vortex Tracker that specializes on YM2149 (or AY-3-8910).
I'm glad that you like it. The original track was awesome I just crammed it into C64. I haven't thought about what you suggested. I sent a couple of other tunes to other acts before, all of them said politely that probably a gear is running backwards in my head :) I guess, I'm 30 years late.
@@NecroPolo there is never late , because time is infinite and you are part of the goodness. i think world is great and even choronzon never going to be accomplished if people like you not going to exist.
