I recorded today's siren test. Turns out it's a G Major chord. :lol:

That is brilliant, I don't know much about music but it sounds nice to me :)

Thanks. It basically means it's easy to incorporate into a composition. There's an interesting 'wind up' noise when the siren starts too. 8-)

It doesn't normally hold in that stuck position (that creates a chord). I wasn't expecting that.

I always wanted a way incorporate the YM2149F into music. Now I have a way.

I really like it mixed in with the bass, though I did that when working out Atlantic by Keane and don't wish to upload copyrighted material. :lol:




P.S. I don't now what the little button is for on top. It currently makes the sound stick.

Also need to get someone to shrink the tubing over it as I had to buy it chipless to have a YM2149F running it.

Still finalising my setup of this, but this is every aspect achieved without PC now.

I plan to make some proper how to videos in the future when I have a capture card etc. Probably in the bleak mid-winter. :lol:

Okay, so I've been making a setup in Notator's RMG to manipulate and save the CATSKULL YM2149 sounds.

Been a while in the making as I had to take a break for my sanity.

Recent skintness due to buying a TASCAM Model 12 and the fact that I didn't notice the Import, Customs and VAT that was payable to UPS meant I've been mostly housebound and picked up this task again.

I found trying to decide how to lay it out a head fluff.

All that's left is for me to just double check I'm happy with everything and then make a brief video.

When that's done I'll also put up the Notator file that has everything saved and a txt file of the implimentation from the github and the setup I went for.

I've altered the order so that it works better left to right starting with the Synth type selection (1 - 7)

Man you can get some wacky sounds and recall them with a single click.

You've got a great setup there. 8-)

Thanks. Spent the past 2 years on it.

On looking back I hadn't realised I'd got further on the whole chip setup. My SD card went down and confused things.

Sorry about the terrible picture quality!


Anyone with Notator can load this up and edit the CATSKULL YM2149 Synth.
