just for the record, it's possible to put a SMS vgm (for example exported from deflemask) on an Everdrive for Megadrive / Genesis with this tool: http://mjsstuf.x10host.com/pages/vgmPlay/vgmPlay.htm

I think it will sound the same as if it was recorded from SMS because it's the same chip.

Hello,

I've begun to use PMD98 for making music (thank you Noyemi for the good tutorial). It looks very interesting, yet I'm not very found of the MML (MMHell) syntax. In fact I'm used to the ABC notation syntax which is just easier and looks more logical. For example:

In ABC :

X: 1
M: 4/4
L: 1/8 % you can define the base note here
Q:1/4=120
K:C % 0 sharps
C2 D2 E2 F2|  G2 A2 B2 c2| d2 e2 f4| g2 ab c'4|]

In MML:

t120 cdefgab>cdef2ga8b8>c2

Here are a few remarks:
- In ABC we add bars to separate mesures. It might look more readable (maybe it 's possible to do the same in MML).
- In abc, we have at least 4 visual octave ranges: C, C c and c' (C, being the lower). It's possible to add marks to get even lower, for example C,, or higher (c'')
It's also easier, in my opinion, to read (and write) music this way. Just by a quick glance, we can see if a part is lower than the other. After a few < > < < > in MML, it's more tedious.
- In ABC, we use the opposite for length of notes. If 1 is the base, 2 means it doubles the base length.
It may just be an habit, but the advantage is you can count to check if your mesure or part is complete or not:
d2 + e2 + f4 = 8
g2 + a + b + c'4 = 8

I wish someone make source based music processor using the ABC langage one day :=)

Btw 3ML is awesome to convert from midi to MML: http://3ml.jp/download.html

@masl: I've seen it's not possible to comment on a kickstarter project if you haven't backed it. So I asked and the creator said it will be possible to order shields in the future, on his online shop (when it will be ready).

And I've finally got my shield:

It works well, and has a great clean sound. I managed to make it work with the LMMS sequencer (multi-track).

It looks cool. I only use vgm (exported from deflemask) and converted with Dead Fish vgmPlay, but I'll gladly test your player as well when your tool for creating ROM will be available

Vortex Tracker is great, but for making music on Spectrum. There is indeed an option for using the frequency of the chip on a CPC. Yet, there is no option for the interrupt on CPC. Maybe it's not relevant, or maybe it's related to the sound problem (I mean maybe Arkos would handle this better). With Arkos or Starkos there are some players which can be used with basic or asm, probably they are more adapted than a pt3 player on CPC...

Very cool to know that, i'm impatient to use it!

I got a Megadrive 1, and I find the sound quite smoother than the one from emulation. I thought square tones (PSG) and FM sounds could be easily emulated, and even if it's probably the case, the rest like DAC will make much difference.

Here is the new recording:
