- 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 (guranteed quality).
- • Practically inifnite sample size for 8/16 bit samples
- (262*10^3 Gb sample length limit) with 8 octave 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.
