- -------------------------------------
-
-
- Main Screen - Parameter Menu
- ----------------------------
-
- This section gives you control over
- how a 3 voice MONO SID can be played.
-
- You can select MONO playback. The
- song will only play in 3 voice MONO
- and no STEREO parameters will be
- used. The rest of the controls in
- the Parameter Menu will be ignored.
-
-
- Next is the STEREO playback mode.
- This will allow you to assign to each
- of the three voices the side you
- would like them to play on and for
- how long.
-
- Each voice has its own mode selector.
- I you would like to have Voice 1 play
- as MONO you can. Voice 1 will then
- play on BOTH the right and the left
- channels. You could also have Voice
- 2 and 3 play as STEREO. The control
- for selecting the mode is the 'F5'
- key and to change the voice you are
- working on press the 'F3' key. If
- you decide to have voice 2 and 3 as
- STEREO, you can then select what side
- you want each voice to start playing
- on. Just press the 'R' or 'L' key to
- select either the RIGHT or LEFT side
- for each voice. The last control is
- for the duration. This will allow
- you to move the voices from LEFT to
- the RIGHT and vise-versa while the
- song is playing. You must use the
- CURSOR keys to control this value.
- This value can be anything from 0 to
- 99. If the value is 0 then the voice
- will play ONLY on the side it started
- on. If it is any number over 0 then
- the voice will move from side to
- side. An example would be if you set
- Voice 1 to a duration of 1 then it
- would play ONE note on the side it
- started on (let's say the RIGHT) then
- move to the LEFT for the next note
- and back to the RIGHT for the next
- one. If you also set Voice 3 to 23
- and the LEFT side then voice 3 would
- play 23 notes on the LEFT side and
- then play 23 notes on the RIGHT side
- and then continue to move back and
- forth every 23 notes.
-
-
- The third mode is a new one called
- DELAY. This will allow you to FOOL
- the player into THINKING a 3 voice
- SID is a TRUE 6 voice SID.
-
- You may select a DELAY from 1 to 9.
- This value is used to determine how
- long the RIGHT side should be delayed
- before it starts playing music. This
- is the same as using the EXPANDER
- option on the main menus. If a 3
- voice SID is stamped with this delay
- value it will override the EXPANDER
- value on the main menu. When the
- delay is selected the MODE for each
- voice changes to +/-. This will
- allow you to transpose each voice up
- or down. This functions the same as
- inserting a TPS (transpose command)
- in that voice. The difference is
- that it is always in effect and in
- addition to any TPS command in the
- SID. Here is an example that is
- similar to the Parameter Screen.
-
- Playback: DELAY4
-
- Voice M/S Dur Side
-
- 1 - 10 l
- 2 - 00 r
- 3 + 12 r
-
- This SID will have an EXPANDER value
- of 4.
-
- Voice 1 will be transposed down 10
- half-steps (l), while its RIGHT side
- counterpart Voice 4 will not be
- transposed.
-
- Voice 2 will not be transposed and
- its counterpart Voice 5 will not be
- transposed either (DUR of 00).
-
- Voice 3 will not be transposed and
- its counterpart voice 6 will be
- transposed UP 12 halfsteps (r).
-
- This is how the DELAY works and it
- makes many of the old 3 voice SIDs
- sound fantastic. You will have to
- experiment because each SID will be
- different.
-
- You can STAMP each SID with the
- values you have set. This way each
- and every time the SID is loaded into
- SP V10 or above it will play in the
- manner you have selected. If you DO
- NOT have the second SID chip then the
- parameters will be ignored. The
- STAMPED SID can even be played on
- other players without causing any
- problems.
