Crashes of Deflemask? Not, but when i use all channels (including psg) and start video recording in the background (you know, slide down from right top corner and hit record) sometimes it stops, or there is some gaps in recording, so recording and genesis emulation takes many cpu resources. But now i don't publish these tracker videos, i simply render song to wav.

I also use commands, mostly TL (total level of each operator), MULTI and some arpeggios (arpeggios can be also used on FM sounds which is quite unique), so this is one of ways to get sounds modulated or animated, because it doesn't have filters etc.

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.

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).

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

Edit: here is good article between differences

Chords are simple, you have base (root) tone, C command and two another tones, so C0C is whole octave (C is hexadecimaly 12 tones up), C37 is minor, C47 major chord, etc.

Wow, good to know these things, maybe +1 is because we have two sidtab calls at one line, so it takes more time to process. Btw, one thing l liked in sidtracker 64 or sid duzz it is separate speed column, so it is affecting all tracks, in defMON, when you have in every channel different speed (for example first 2, second shuffle speed 5353..., third whatever) then i don't know how it works, it tried it once.

That catskull shop sync device is not expensive and it looks like established and verified product, so why to experiment with homebrew and maybe damage something i also see they are selling gameboy midi sync so maybe this can be paired with defMON adapter midi sync.

But now i don't need that, i am happy that TD-3 works, even i don't have DMG/C64 songs that can be synced, every one is different.
