Gotta love FM. Sounds pretty much like OPL.

Way cool if somehow there could be a way to directly compose / playback with a real hardware SPC700 - just because.

Also thx to this thread I tried out that awesome C700 plugin. Wow finally there is a real way to load raw sample rips from the roms (I use SPCTOOL) and load them to a dedicated soft sampler. Most of all the all important playback rate is preserved, loading the waves into any 'normal' sampler up samples them to your project so they sound kinda crappy. Also this messes with their loop points' smoothness. 96k is a heaps faster than its native 14-22k.

To boot it also has /that/ echo/delay which finally nails almost exactly the sound.

I do understand how the SNES SPC700 is not really a chip synth per se, more like a small playback only tracker. From what I understand from looking into how the music / sfx are steamed, high level its not much different from a 90s tracker. Just dedicated decoder, ram and DAC.

That echo/delay is cool in itself. Mostly because unlike almost every stereo delay, its 100% mono compatible. Pretty much every stereo delay / reverb uses phase shifts to achieve width whereas the SPC700 sounds equally good in mono or stereo. prolly to be sure its sounds okay on granny's b/w mono tv.

Agreed, most of the 'sound' of a SNES is down to, short samples, low bit rate (gives that muffled quality) and of course being limited to only 8 channels.

Man instead of loading them into EXS24 and using other effects as I've been doing, I'll be using this from now on!

Put me down for a trail run. I've got almost every ship synth (2A03,SID,OPL,AY3) with MIDI except for SPC.

Industrial, you got it, though I'm not hung up on labels. I wanted to do something unique and I hope that comes across..

thx for the comment.
