Xenakis Technical Information
==============================
Specifications and capabilities:
• 16 bit non-interlaced filler for arbitary no. of voices
(given processor bandwidth limits). Therefore no sample
aliasing occurs at low frequencies thus requiring no
filter in the hardware (guaranteed quality).
• Practically infinite sample size for 8/16 bit samples
with 8 octaves range allowing for superbly flexible composition.
• Perceived linear volume and stereo positions using
linear samples.
• Accepts little endian 16 bit 2's complement and 8-bit
µ-Law (standard Arch format) sample formats.
• 256 samples can be loaded at anyone time from a sample
base of up to 2002 samples.
• Up to 256 patterns in a song of up to 256 sequences.
• Fully synchronised buffered effects with up to 256
simultaneous auto-effects.
• Guaranteed no slow-down whilst playing (player has interrupt
status priority).
• Double speed resolution with speed resolution command
implemented - allows 100Hz resolutions for effects and events.
• Static code size of 51Kb, minimum dynamic size 324k.
