Always great to read, I need that today lol

I would say the same for your mad abuses of TIA, I really like what you cook!

new GUI for chipsounds is mad classy. Chipcrusher has provided a vast new array of ways of destroying audio. many thanks!

Another stellar job from a mad genius, as always.

chipcrusher v1.004 is now out!

Bought this yesterday. Not gone too deep with it yet, but at first glance I can see myself using this a LOT. Loads of options and can be pleasingly subtle - most crushers I've used go WAY over the top in obliterating everything, whereas this is much more musical. Excellent stuff.

Awesome.  Using that would make me so happy!  I love reading you pontificate on one of my all time favorite chips!

Edit, from the IIGS schematics I found, emulating the analog output of the chip would be best with a full IR (as i did with all the Amiga filters)  and not just a simple (one pole) RC filter.

Haven't done much work yet with the IIGS's Ensoniq DOC chip (same as in Ensoniq Mirage and ESQ1/m) - though I have all these devices -  The fact that the DOC uses 8bit PCM wavetables at varispeed using a 24 bit accumulator (aliasing fun) makes me feel this would be more suited for a chipsounds addition than an chipcrusher addition.

However, it might be interesting to investigate at which samplerate most game FX/dialogs were played at and that would give a relative close value.  As with the SID (the DOC's father), there surely is a magic SR setting where each sample is played without one been repeated or skipped.

You could set Resample at something between 8000 and 11025 and 8bits, then through the RC filter - need to calculate the value from schematics - or make an impulse), then through the IIGS speaker.

So in short I would need more time to investigate to make a 'valid' preset to emulate it.

Can the same quality as the IIGS be had? (Besides the speaker)

Good heavens, this is freakin' awesome!

I always take that as a compliment!

Hoh, wow. You are mad.  Great work!

Thanks! Yeah, some co-workers here mentioned speakerphone after I already started working on some impulse stuff at home,
from what i can gather from their site its a great library with lots of great IRs that covers stuff I dont have, which is great.

Most of the ADPCM variants have subtle differences which are interesting but less "in your face" like the transition from LPC10 to LPCM or PWM to LPCM.

I guess the hard part more than the encoding itself is the execution. To get the "Zero order hold" or PWM done accurately  I needed to have 3 different sample rate streams buffered at once, and _that_ is one of the hardest challenges i faced in my 15+ years doing DSP/C/C++.

Even so, the reported latency is currently slightly off, and i need to revisit it  ( that means crying in a fetal position for a while )

Current bidules should run 10.4, but only intel, but we only have 10.6+ test machines now. Older versions of chipsounds could work, but I just cant fathom to make available stuff that contains bugs I've fixed ages ago
