Noting for anybody else that comes across this: I suspect the issue with it not being detected originally was that I had both DIN and USB connected at once. If I connect up just via USB it detects fine. Either way, got it working now!

Oh, duh. I should have realised. I didn't realise it was both USB and DIN - I assumed it was one or the other. Thanks. I'll give it a bash!

Just connect via usb, it doesn't work over DIN AFAIK. I've heard web midi on windows is a little tricky and doesn't work, one user reported having to use their android phone to do it. Not totally sure!

Ohhh that's awesome, thank you! What's the best config for that? I've tried it connected via different interfaces but it isn't detected (using Chrome).

Web editor is compatible, the new version added DIN but still has USB MIDI

!

Heya. I have another question... I presume the Web Editor isn't compatible with the new version, since it's MIDI DIN, rather than USB MIDI. Is that right?

It is little bit offtopic, but this Jamatar performance is outstanding! I am now doing some things on Kurzweil Forte in fm synthesis mode, i mapped every parameter to sliders and knobs, power of fm is incredible.

I guess I could have just asked you directly hah. Thanks! I'll keep an eye out on the genaJam...

Sorry I missed this, but glad you got it figured out! I'm a bad person to ask but if you were to blindfold me, I would not be able to tell the difference between the AY or the YM. I'm sure purists out there that have spent a lot of time with the chips will tell me I'm wrong, which is fine!

Also trash80 designed and coded the whole thing, not me! Thanks to him! SID synths aren't as interesting to me, just because the chips are hard to come by. I guess now that there are implementations of it in FPGA and microcontrollers, maybe that would be worth checking out? For YM2612, I guess genMDM gets pretty far there, especially with Jamatar's genaJam that I'll be releasing soon.

Hey Bowtie, don't thank to me, i only googled BTW that device is interesting because it is small, if catskull develope something like this with SID chip, or with YM2612, i am in!

Thanks! I went for the the YM in the end

YM chip envelope have 5-bit volume, so it is not only 16 levels like in AY, but 32. Register accepts only 4-bit value, but maybe dynamics are that one bit better. Yamaha always make something better

I don't know if it is YM panned harder, on AY chip is output for every channel, i use ACB stereo out (a is left, c in both, b is right).

Thanks for the link! The sound comparison is useful. Looks like the YM would be the better option. The AY does sound a bit better on that particular comparison... but it seems like that's down more to mixing, as the YM seems panned harder? Not sure. Either way the difference seems minimal enough that I just need to make a call. Thank you!

Probably not, it is 99% same, in Vortex Tracker 2.5 when i change tune from AY to YM, there is not audible change. It is maybe matter of personal preference, if you love more Atari, then buy YM version
