Hi everybody
I would like as well to be able to map knobs inside Ableton to CC's, so that I can control MSSIAH and other stuff, but as far as I understand - I can only do this with clip envelopes?
I saw this thread (http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/1108/ … eton-live/) and it looked like it was a solution, but when I look into the .als it just seems like the macro knobs are mapped to a controller, and nothing is outputting anything. But as other people have it working it can't be that bad?

I can affirm this is cool, but maxymizer seems to have the most midi features for your buck.
I totally agree, I tried Sound Chip Synth, but it requires high resolution and is simply not fun to use or has the same capabilities as maxymiser. EC-909 sounded fun, but I had to upgrade my STe to 4MB RAM, because it requires 2MB minimum and I couldn't fit the program on a disk, so I had to make a RAMdisk.
Other trackers might be nice to try out, but most of them lack something.
It's fun to experiment, but in the end MaxYMiser is the winner. At least in my book.
Can't you just use MaxYMiser for that too? And shouldn't this be in the Atari section?
Señor xero (or anybody, for that matter), do you know how to do a pro-sound mode where the pro-sound jack is not affected by the volume control? I have one Game Boy that was pre-modded that does this and I prefer this as I can turn the outside speaker off when using the pro-sound connection.
You can do this by just using the other points on the circuit board, the ones above. Use the "pre pot" ones instead of the post pot ones.

Yeah now that I think of it I couldn't get it to work with XP through Virtual PC or in Win98 on a laptop I have. On another laptop with XP it worked fine though.
Still having problems?
The RAR archive contains the drivers (inf, sys) and the manual. If you can find the manual you're already reading it should be able to find the drivers. Or did I miss something?

o_O So you judge on the DAC resolution?
What would you call the SID, then? O_o
No, I dont know. But since the pulse and noise channels of the Game Boy is 4-bit and lots of people refer to the Game Boy sound as 4-bit I think it's fitting. I think its irrelevant to speak about the CPU of the machines, since chiptune is about the sound and music, and the limitations of the chips. At least to me, especially when you take the chip out of the computer/console and build a Midibox or HardSID or something around it. So to me there's nothing 8-bit about making music on the ST except maybe the DMA-chip in STe.
But hey, this is way off topic and I apologize for rioting this thread. We can discuss this in another thread or something.

I don't wanna be a boring negative moaner, but I believe there's no such thing.
ST isn't 8-bit?
They should invent the iPad Nano
Thank you for your support. That's my idea too. I've tried lowering the volume of the instruments and that just lowered the total volume, but the distortion is still there. If I lower the channels with the volume column - doesn't that require a command for each note? It also seems identical to what I get if I lower the volume of each instrument.
I want to mod my Atari so that I get a jack for each YM voice, I've gotten answer to which pins I need to solder the jacks to, but! In the video iNFOTOXIN posted the guy says I have to cut the pins away from the board. Is that really so? Seems pretty brutal to do that, if I wanna restore it someday or something.
I know dubmood have done something similar. Dubmood: how did you do this?
Also I still wonder if someone knew how to get DMA channels to a single or multiple jacks?
Just because you separate the outputs doesn't mean you are not pumping too much volume on each channel anymore, may I add.
No one has said that, and I would very much like your tip on how to lower the whole channel at once. In maxYMiser that is, there's a MIDI CC that does it but I can't find a decent setting or command for it in the tracker.
aent wrote:Lower the level of the instruments? I'll have a look at it.
No, man, lower the general output of each channel so you don't clip the master. You are clipping it. TOO LOUD. Comprende?
Yeah I get that, thats why I tried all the others stuff. How do I lower the volume of yeah channel in maxYMiser? With MIDI it's easy, but in the tracker it looks like It's the volume column is where it's at? Seems like the same thing as to change the instruments. Or have I missed something?
You are putting too much volume on each channel, then. Lower the level.
Was that a real issue? ;_;
Lower the level of the instruments? I'll have a look at it. No, but it seems like a fun project to do.
Mod shown here, he mentions the pins numbers in there.
Thanks! So pins 3,4 and 38 - but he says I have to cut them? Because they are soldered together; if I just solder jacks onto the pins I will just get three identical outputs, right? Seems kind of drastic to cut the actual pins of.
Also now that he mentioned it in the video, how do I get the DMA channels as well? Just in case or something. Can't find datasheet for it because I don't know what the chip is called.
