M4uesviecr says:

Hey all. I am writing music for a home brew game and I am struggling with some super crazy intonation issues with the PSGs. Anyone have any idea as to what is going on?

I have edited the dt knobs so that the pitches are neutral (0), and it's still bad. I've gone as far as properly tuning my FM instruments, but the problem persists.

I have links to the mp3 and will attach the VGe file later (no Internet so posting from phone):
Mp3 - Title Theme

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys! I'm tacha and i'm feeling blessed to join here.

  I've done music from my 11 years with the "Wham! The music box" program, with my first home computer, a "TK90X" (ZX Spectrum Brazilian Clone) . In the 1994 i catch to the "Fast Tracker II". In 2000 ModPlug Tracker and Guitar Pro. 2002 i worked with Cakewalk Sonar 4, Giga Studio, EWQLSO Native Instruments, EZ Drummer, "Mixing and Mastering with waves" and so ... have returned to the roots, using C64 Retroskoi , My own tracker for the ZX Spectrum + 3e (made with ZXBoriel compiled BASIC), ProTracker for the AMIGA500 ... and DefleMask, to make music for SEGA GENESIS.
  Well, I tried to convert VGM to XGC with xgmtool, songs maked With DefleMask, to finaly, run this with Basiega compiled file, but... jumps me a WARNING... I think is the problem that makes MUSIC & game freeze in SEGA GENESIS with Everdrive or any emulator.

I have already tried to import almost totally empty projects, with a single pattern, and with a single instrument, I jump the same mistake.

"Waning: more then 6 key command key on or off in a single frame!"

i have no idea what is this sad

a pic:

Anybody can give me a hand on this?
The game will be finished as soon as I get a solution, hehehe

well, eternally grateful.
Regards!

Is SEGA doing new console?

GenMDM Help! Midi / USB not working!

herr_prof says:

First h3llo. New to the music forums. Sort of. I lurk around but rarely post.

Any who.

Was hopping I could maybe get some info help.

Scored a GenMdm off the bay, last year. Just got around to hoping it up. I know WTF right. I've been buisey. But it's plugged in. But I can't seem to get it to work. I get a audio tone wen it's first powers up, but after that nothing. I think it's a midi issue. Idk!

So first. 

I'm running OS X 10.6. Is this the problem?

The genMDM is pluged in, USB A to Mini B, USB port. Plus a midi out to the genmdm midi in.

I get a error message when I power down the gen, saying it's sucking to much juice. Could this be the culprit.

I've tried almost every damn combo in the Midi input and output widow in the editor. Nothing.

Any suggestions would help.

Thanks for takeing your time to check out my thread.

Circuit Bird says:

I originally made this track for a video game I'm working on. However, the original track never made the cut, so I decided to turn it into something else, as I didn't want it to go to waste. I gave the .vge module to Jredd who gave it a hip hop percussion and I arranged a drum roll at the start to give it that character select feel.

Hello, over 2 years ago Telefuture started a Kickstarter campaign in which one of the rewards was a Sega Genesis cartridge that included music by Animal Style, cTrix, exileFaker, Kris Keyser, and note!. Did anyone get the cart? If so then how cool is it? Can you make some videos?

Why no Game Gear trackers out there?  Seems with GG overdrive and GG backlight kits this handheld would be a prime candidate for some cool music software.

ShintarouMusic says:

Hello! My friend gave me his Game Gear. I've been looking around at music possibilities and I have a few questions; as I understand it, my main option for actually using a Game Gear is to:

-write in Deflemask under Sega Master System
-export songs to ROMs
-buy an everdrive cart, flash all of the song ROMs to the everdrive
-???

I'm coming from almost exclusively an LSDJ background so a lot of what I've read about using this and other older systems is hard to understand, not to mention less information, tutorials, etc. available

I think I read that the pulse channels can also handle audio samples, is that correct? Will Deflemask handle that while writing for SMS?
I noticed some other trackers, (sneven tracker, Little Scale's program, mod2psg2) and they all look like a more comfortable interface but Deflemask seems like the only finished program that I can use to get my songs on to hardware. Is that true?
Is there any other advice I should know for starting out?
I greatly appreciate any help!


Square Gear v0.5 - Real-time PSG Controller

$

_NetNomad says:

Square Gear is a Master System homebrew application that allows you to control the programmable sound generator in real-time without the need of any pre-tracking or external MIDI interfaces. Just load up the ROM into your Master System, Game Gear, or Genesis and fire away! Right now, Square Gear is little more than a proof-of-concept, locking you in C Major. Note selection is done on the D-Pad as follows:


            G
        F    |    A
    E    -    +    -    B
        D    |    C (8va)
            C

Needless to say, the program has a long way to go before it becomes the versatile live performance tool I'm hoping it'll one day grow into. The reason I'm releasing what in essence is a beta is two-fold:

-If there are any nasty bugs on hardware, I want to get ahead of them before the code becomes too convoluted. I've tested on my Genesis Model 2 but not on a Master System or a Game Gear (which is ironic considering the Game Gear is the real target platform hence the name).

-I want to know what you guys want! I have a to-do list for Square Gear but I want to implement the most-wanted features first because I have a feeling the program is gonna need a few total rewrites by the final release, and I also wanna make sure I'm not missing obvious features or going overkill on things that will never get used.

PLANNED FEATURES
-Select different tonic notes and at the very least a natural minor mode. Would you guys want the full church-mode spread or is just minor fine?
-Use 1 and 2 to alter pitch- 1 by a half-step, 2 by an octave. User can choose between #/8va and b/8vb.
-Choice between soft or hard note attack and release.
-"Periodic Noise" Mode. Would people also be interested in pitched white-noise mode?
-Power chord mode to mimic arpeggiation.
-Other waveforms. Some of the stuff I saw on here and elsewhere to mimic other waveforms sounded really cool when I tried it in SnevenTracker, like two notes that are the same but slightly detuned, or playing in octaves with different volumes. Any specific techniques you want me to implement? 
-Allow all of the above to be controlled in a menu accessed by the Pause button.
-Cooler-looking interface

Square Gear will likely never be polyphonic, both due to the limitations of the joypad and the fact that I want all the channels free for additive synthesis. It will also likely never feature triad arpeggiation due to the challenge of calculating the chord quality and then building it on the fly. Who knows what the future will bring, though? I'm also aware of how difficult it can be to articulate D, F, A, and high C without getting blips of adjacent notes, at least on a Genesis pad or a computer keyboard. That might just be a reality of a D-Pad based note-selection scheme, but trying to find a solution is definitely on my todo list.

The code started as the enhanced version of Maxim's Hello World tutorial over at SMSPower. That site is such a wealth of information and passion, go check it out. Square Gear as it is right now is a very simple program, but I will keep working on it and hopefully the future will be full of crazy Master System solos and Game Gear choirs.

Yes, Square Gear was the coolest name I could think of. Sorry.

Sega Saturn - SCSP/YMF292

vbt says:

This chip looks like an absolute beast.

From http://www.x68000.de/soundchips/scsp-ymf292/

Technical Specifications
Channels: 32
Channels 1-32: PCM / ADPCM Waveform playback with a sample rate of up to 44.1 kHz.
Channels 1-32: FM Synthesis, Channels can be hooked together to have more Operators. Inside Games, they usually used 4 Operators, which results in 8 Channels of FM Audio while a maximum of 32 Channels would be possible.
Stereo: Yes
Used to play FM, Sequenced and Streamed Audio
Runs at 22.6 MHz
512 KB Sample RAM
The FH-1 DSP provides 16 build-in effects: Reverb, Early Reflection, Delay, Pitch Shift, Chorus, Flanger, Symphonic, Surround, Voice Canceler, Auto Pan, Phaser, Distortion, Filter (HP, LP, BP), Dynamic Filter, Parametric EQ and Mixer.

According to wikipedia

The SCSP is MIDI compliant, and can be hooked up to external equipment (such as keyboards).

Anyone know of any sound tracks which really put the FM (8 channels of 4op FM??!!) aspect of the chip through its paces? Any interesting projects using it?

A little discussion on soundshock didn't go very far.
