 DefleMask Tracker

Hi there!. :D
I am programming a new Multi-System tracker: DefleMask. Currently supporting SMS, Genesis and a Mobile FM Soundchip (my idea is to support ALL the VGM format... and more). The 3.9 version of this tracker will be released soon, after some small changes that I have to do. But I am here because I need to ask if it is a good idea to write the VGMs in 1.60 format. I am very interested in it, mainly because of the "DAC Stream Control"... It seems to be a very useful thing, but VGMPlay 3.10 only support 1.50 VGMs, and I do not have time to code a VGM 1.60->Bin parser right now. So, supporting the VGM 1.60 maybe prevents that the VGMs can be played on the Genesis (almost until that I code a DefleMask Format player for the Genesis), so I don't know what to do. Suggestions?. :) The DefleMask site is: http://delek.com.ar/deflemask_eng Regards, Delek. |

Hmm ... a mobile FM chip I don't know ... that's interesting. (maybe something for the next vgm version)
About VGM: I think it's better to focus on v1.50 until v1.60 there is better support for v1.60. (I'm still very happy that someone is interested in the Stream Control commands.) I'd prefer to choose between v1.60 and v1.50. (v1.60 is a little smaller and a lot easier to write, but v1.50 is more compatible because it's approx. 5 years old) Maybe I could also write a tool to convert v1.60 to v1.50. |

Thanks, ValleyBell.
Then I will use VGM 1.50. About the DAC streaming in 1.50: The DAC Timing is faster than the normal events timing (~60hz vs ~8000hz/~30000hz), I have to make a mix of this two worlds?, or there is another way?. ....... I was thinking the other day, it will be cool that the VGM format can support a way to send a "PCM" body and a "NO PCM" body, both with his owns wait commands. In other "words": Vgm SIZE ->HEADER [START NO PCM WRITING] [Command] [WAIT] [Command] [0x66 END NO PCM] [START PCM WRITING] [Command] [WAIT PCM] [Command] [WAIT PCM] [Command] [0x69 END PCM] [GD3 TAGS] [EOF] In this way, a standard VGM player needs to "mix" the two blocks, because both starts at 0 time. But this is easy to implement, only needs to make the mix of the two timing blocks (actually, internally, the player will convert that file in a standard 1.50). I think that this solution is cool, because it prevents mixing the two worlds (rapid PCM writes vs slow VSYNC writes), and we can still use the 1.50 commands for PCM Writing on the PCM Body, without destroying the 1.50 five years standard. The players would be rapidly updated, because it is an almost trivial update. :D Tell me what you think about this idea. :D |

In vgm v1.50 you need to "mix" normal YM2612 writes and DAC commands (which get translated to YM2612 writes, btw), that's right.
It looks like this (some parts from a vgm2txt): VGMData:

I personally don't like the idea of a PCM body and a non-PCM body. It still breaks the compatibility and the players need to do additional work on the file. (either mixing the two blocks, which increases the loading time, or synchronizing the two streams, which may need a heavy rewrite of the vgm playback routine) Both blocks would have a timing of 44.1 KHz either way. That's my opinion, but I'd like to hear the opinion of other people. |

Yeah, but this means that the YM2612 "normal" commands needs to be cutted in little pieces, only when you stream another thing at high sampling hz. :( In the actual players for consoles (Genesis and Neo Geo, for example), you normally send "normal" YM2612 & PSG commands using the Motorola 68k (@VSYNC), and PCM data using the Z80. In this way you DONT cut the normal VSYNC when you stream to the PCM channel. The idea of have two bodies is to obtain a multi processor like writes (like how this is done on the real consoles that stream PCM data), and make more easy the PCM streaming when you use the VGM format (not cutting the normal commands, and write the high speed commands on other body). :D Well, the playback routine will be exact the same, because, after mixing the two lists, you will obtain a 1.50 standard file, this is not difficult to implement, and the performance is not diminished at all because it is a trivial operation that requires an imperceptible time to do. I think that this will be greeeeat if it's implemented. :D |

The actual players for consoles (at least on MegaDrive/Genesis): a) are Z80-only, so one block is easier (and faster) to process than two b) are 68k + Z80 and stop streaming to the PCM channel when they need to send data to the FM channels (usually causing a gap of 20-120 samples), as the YM2612 does FM + PCM, so it's impossible to do FM and PCM writes at the same time |

WOWW. Z80 ONLY?, for both FM and DAC streaming?, where?, I thought it was impossible for practical purposes. Do you have in mind a game or demo that uses this technic?. Coding a decent Z80-only playback engine for both fm and dac will make you crazy I think. xD |

Ever heard of this game (or this one)?
All games on this list with SMPS/Z80 or GEMS sound driver run completely on the Z80. |

My bad, Golden Axe came into to my mind when I thought in a Full Z80 sound driver (play a PCM will stop all other sounds in this game). |

The playback engine of my MD sound system is full Z80, here's one example of its output :

AWESOME, 2 PCM at the same time aswell?. AMAZING.
Question: In your sound system the cpu load of the Z80 is at 100% all the time?, or the updates are at a fixed rate?, if it is, the update rate becomes higher only when a PCM sample is playing?. Btw, TmEE, what do you think about multiple bodies on a VGM file?. |

The CPU use is always 100% when there's any samples playing. when there's no samples then I just wait for YM timers to expire so I can process music or sound effects, during which there is no PCM being played. Processing does not take very long and I don't consider its effect on PCM quality so significant that I have to play some PCM while I mess with FM and PSG.
Regarding VGMs, I have not messed with them so I cannot answer the question... |

Btw, DefleMask 3.9 Released!!.
News: 01: Added DAC Control (Samples) to the YM2612. 02: Support for both 1.50 and the NEW 1.60 VGM FORMAT (thanks to some Valley Bell help). :D 03: Removed Microsoft Redistributable C++ dependency. 04: Added a second Tick Time selector to obtain more specific tempo values. 05: NTSC/PAL value now is saved to the DMF files. 06: Now samples are selecteable on instrument list (only will play on the PCM Channel of the system however). 07: Due to a timing error, the YMU759 files size was huge. Now it is corrected, so the size of the MMFs is a lot smaller. 08: To make more clear the YMU759 Behavior, the unique ins that you can change is the very first one. 09: More optimization and some bugs corrected. 10: Resampling of imported wav files. 11: VGM writing optimization.

In a few days the 3.95 version will be released with great news :D, a "Save ROM" button, shrink/expand buttons and Note OFF for samples are some of them.
Also, listen to Sonic - Spring Yard Zone @DefleMask Tracker. There are some timing errors though, but it is almost fully accurate. |

After various hours of coding and debugging DefleMask, I managed to turn off the "code mode" in my head and did a little basic tutorial.
I added to the video description this site: http://www.smspower.org/Music/DefleMask Because I explained that DefleMask supports VGM 1.60 format. Video: DefleMask Tracker - Tutorial 1: Basics |

Yeeess, my idea is to support most of the VGM format. And even more.
Btw, I was tracking Green Hill Zone in DefleMask and discovered some issues in the behavior of the Noise Channel of the SN76489. Also I added a shortcut to add the lastest pattern id in the pattern matrix. Hot Fix @ 14/10/11: 01: Middle Mouse Button in the Pattern Matrix = ID to be the lastest one in the matrix. 02: Fixed a note triggering bug in the SN76489. 03: Fixed a noise mode issue in the SN76489. 04: Manual Updated.

I don't use MOD2PSG, could you explain how the "vibration editor" works?. Btw, the YM2612 has a FMS value, that you can modify dinamically to obtain vibrato. Maybe this can be useful to you.

HOLY SHI!, DefleMask 5.0 RELEASED!. With Game Boy support and VGM 1.61!!. :D
NEWS: 01: System Added: Game Boy!!. 02: Envelopes Generators for SN76489, Game Boy or any non-FM soundchip!!. 03: Two types of instruments, Standard (STD, Envelopes) and Frequency Modulation (FM, Registers)!. 04: Re sampler and pitch/amplitude modifiers for loaded WAV files!. 05: Now you can set the sample rate of a particular sample independently, instead of having a global sample rate. 06: Added ROM Builder for SEGA Master System. 07: Effect for Game Boy Added: 0x10 Set WAVE. 08: Effect for Game Boy Added: 0x11 Set Noise Polynomial Counter Mode. 09: Effect for Game Boy Added: 0x12 Set Duty Cycle. 10: Now the instrument editor is a transparent floating sub window, so you can select a channel in the patterns and test out melodies while you are tracking. - (because of this change, the copy/paste/switch instruments shortcuts commands, inside the instrument window, changed to shift+ctrl+c to copy, shift+ctrl+v to paste and shift+left/shift+right to switch, in order to avoid conflicts with the patterns movements and copies/pastes). 11: Now the volume values are soundchip dependent, so, for example, now you can set volume values from 0 to F in Game Boy or SN76489 soundchips, but up to 7F in YM2612. This is more intuitive than the previous method of a global 0 to FF volume values (old dmf modules will be re-scaled). 12: Standard Effect Added: 0x09 - Set Speed 1. 13: Standard Effect Added: 0x0F - Set Speed 2. 14: Two new textures added for skins: Graph Background and Graph. 15: Three new color for skins added: Graph Line, Graph Back and Graph Point. 16: The "presets" label is changed to "instruments" in all the DefleMask code. 17: Instruments limit expanded to 128. 18: A lot of changes and updates to the GUI engine code. 19: Better interface. 20: Lot of fixed bugs. 21: Manual Updated.

Because of the very very useful feedback of jrlepage (a FT forum user) and some tweaks done by myself, this is the new cleaned DefleMask 5.1b.
NEWS: 01: Game Boy Effect Added: 13xy - Hardware Sweep. 02: Game Boy Effect Added: 14xx - Sweep Time. 03: Now you can change the TL value on Genesis System while a note is triggering. 04: Serious bug fixed: A bad concatenation while saving an instrument could make DefleMask crash. 05: Note Delay Effect EDxx Fixed on Game Boy and SN76489. 06: Fixed a error in the frequency table that produced the same pitch for notes A#6 and B6. 07: Fixed a desynchronization issue with the follow row mode. 08: Now you can use the Axx effect with an envelope without problems. 09: Now you can press apart from Enter, the enter from the Numpad to play/stop the song. 10: Fixed a potential bug with the panning effect. 11: Fixed the fact that you could move to the right in the rows indefinitely (now the limit works right regardless of the system selected). 12: Fixed an Operator order issue, the order was 1 3 2 4, now it is 1 2 3 4. If you have a module that uses operator based effects, you should switch operator 2 and 3. 13: Moved a little to the left the save instrument dialog. 14: Manual Updated. DOWNLOAD! |

Thanks again! :)
Mind if I train my skills a little and in a little time send You a much longer and more technical track for demo? :)) Still need to exercise a little more with controlling the white noise generator and effects! PS: All the little things grow big someday, lol |

| Can this be used for composing tunes to be played on the real hardware, without using the "streaming 400 kB VGM" approach, or is it only meant for VGM output? | |
