- each **note** starts a sound playing. within a channel, only one note can play at a time.

- each note is assigned an **[instrument](../4-instrument/README.md)** which describes what it will sound like.

- an **effect** is a command that changes some aspect of playback. it can alter note pitch, volume, timing, and more.
|

- an instrument **macro** is an automated sequence of effects that applies to every note of that instrument.

Hint: To obtain triangle set bits "int" and "11" in "Duty/Int" sequence and set volume to about 22.

By enabling 11th tap bit the value shifted in is negated after 11 bit is shifted in hence the volume is added for 11 cycles and then subtracted for 11 cycles.

|
||||
|

This is accomplished by selecting a wave or two, a mode, and adjusting the settings as needed until you come up with a sound that you like, without taking up a load of space. This allows you to create unique sound effects or instruments, that, when used well, almost sound like they're Amiga samples.

this is accomplished by selecting a wave or two, a mode, and adjusting the settings as needed until you come up with a sound that you like, without taking up a load of space. this allows you to create unique sound effects or instruments, that, when used well, almost sound like they're Amiga samples.
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, on some chips like the HuC6280, you cannot use the wavetable synth to animate waveforms and have them sound smooth, as the chip resets the channel's phase when a waveform is changed while the channel is playing. On certain frequencies, this can be avoided, but not on most, unfortunately.

Without bankswitching, the chip supports 256kB of sample RAM and can hold up to 127 samples at once.

ultimately, most of the games for the Game.com ended up being failures in the eyes of reviewers, thus giving the Game.com a pretty bad reputation. this was one of the reasons that the Game.com only ended up selling at least 300,000 units. for these reasons and more, the Game.com ended up being discontinued in 2000.

nominal mode of SN76489 has 3 square wave channels, with noise channel having only 3 preset frequencies to use (absurdly low, very low, low). to use more pitches, one can enable a mode which "steals" the frequency from square wave channel 3. by doing that, SN76489 becomes effectively a 3 channel sound chip. In addition, periodic noise mode can be enabled, with same caveats.

the original iteration of the SN76489 used in the TI-99/4A computer, the SN94624, could only produce tones as low as 100Hz, and was clocked at 447 KHz. all later versions (such as the one in the Master System and Genesis) had a clock divider but ran on a faster clock... except for the SN76494, which can play notes as low as 13670 Hz (A -1). consequently, its pitch accuracy for higher notes is compromised.
