We'll see.How to Update Your Acer Sound / Audio Drivers So why does the Linux kernel module have its own ADSR data? And is the data the same as what can be found in the ROM file. According to the documentation, the ROM file is supposed to contain ADSR envelopes and everything for each tone. Tomorrow I'll write a program which dumps out the individual tones, so I can see which parts of the sample data are used for what. And how does the MoonSound software work - did someone have to dig through the ROM file and figure out how to use the hundreds of "tones"? It would be weird if Yamaha had just sold the ROM chips without any accompanying documentation, or a pre-made General MIDI mapping of the tones. What I still don't know is, where did those definitions in the Linux kernel module come from. There's a 12-byte header for each tone in the ROM, and the header contains pointers (memory offsets) to sample data in the ROM (including start/stop and loop begin/end points), and ADSR envelope values. A tone is one piece of a larger multi-sample program. The Linux kernel module's GM patch definitions contain pointers to the ROM's contents, and each GM patch uses a number of "tones". I think I figured out the thing for the most part now. ) I mean, how many people are able to listen to this stuff anyway. Is anyone interested in creating new music for the MoonSound, using a method like I explained above?ģ. Has someone already done this, and has the instruments extracted as individual files or a sound bank that could be loaded into a music application? Or does anyone have other ideas?Ģ. The idea is to take the opl4_region structs regions_xx from yrw801.c and then write out an instrument+samples definition file for each struct, and extract the sample data from the actual ROM file.ġ. I found usable-looking stuff in the OPL4 sound driver module in the Linux kernel Seems like a long project.īut anyway, the first thing I need to do is to extract the samples from the ROM into something that MilkyTracker can read. The thing I have in mind, is to be able to use a tracker like MilkyTracker, but so that I'd be able to use the Moonsound's ROM sounds as well as my own custom samples, then save the song as a 24-channel MOD and write some kind of a converter and player. I thought, I'd like to try making some tunes myself, but I'd like to use some other tools than just a General MIDI sequencer + sampler, or Moonblaster wave. I got hold of a MoonSound cartridge recently (thanks Marq!) and was quite surprised by the quality of some of the music disks.
