# TI SN76489 (e.g. Sega Master System)
|
|
|
|
a relatively simple sound chip made by Texas Instruments. a derivative of it is used in Sega's Master System, the predecessor to Genesis.
|
|
|
|
the original iteration of the SN76489 used in the TI-99/4A computers was clocked at 447 KHz, being able to play as low as 13.670 Hz (A -1). consequentially, pitch accuracy for higher notes is compromised.
|
|
|
|
on the other hand, the chip was clocked at a much higher speed on Master System and Genesis, which makes it rather poor in the bass range.

|
|
- 1: use frequency of channel 3.
|
|
- `y` controls whether to select noise or thin pulse.
