I also did quite a lot of MA-2/3/5 reverse engineering two years ago and need to brush off on it and compare notes. My goal was also to make new use of those chips (on Famicom carts). So I made a board for it that transforms its pinout to OPN2 pinout.. Just because its easier to integrate in …

While I'm guessing Yamaha probably doesn't care, I might have to find someone to clean room reverse engineer it for that to happen. Haven't found anyone that cares as much as I do to actually help me with that. Oh well. My "OPL player" is actually a stripped down MA3 middleware, with just "machdep" …

Ymu765-s have just arrived. If only there was some "leaked middleware" somewhere ;) Now the question is if it is going to work with the Ymu762 code. I still have Ymu759 board that was my target initially, I will replace the chip and see what is the result. MA5 has the same FM capabilities as MA3, …

That Russian site even has a youtube demo video : https://youtu.be/qqYftv_KT-s Another guy, Konrad, made many more demos, based on the same MA-3 middleware code (see zip in my first post) : NaariaylLove.mmf : https://youtu.be/NvPzxPiDSsY FamiCommodore.mid : https://youtu.be/OF20K_QSMMo Body&body : …

I need to work on that, but I dont have the time sorry. I want to eventually release my notes in a clear manner. If you just put the raw dumps somewhere we could cross reference them with the logs I got while playing various MMF-s with the MA3 middleware, like this (simple) one: https://gist.github …

Ah, I see. That makes sense why it was unportable then. Still, he used them and had enough familiarity with the MA-2 to write a tracker. He might have some insight to the chip anyway, at least at the register level. Not really. The DLL-s that Delek used expose the "SMAF" interface, not the MA …

Surprise, surprise... https://archive.org/details/ensoniq-soundscape I should have all the stuff (printed manuals and floppies) for Elite, but it may take few weeks until I scan anything.

Guys, why did't you ask me about this directly ? ;) @plgDavid - nice work, I gave up doing the same (I bought a few old Samsung and Siemens phones, but none of them had pads easily available). I would be interested in seeing your dumps - the board that I use for experiments has MA-3, but my first …

I'm not sure, how the Arduino can help me with programming. It's just a development board for a AVR microcontroller. Also, my musical abilities sucks just like the programming skills. To create musical synthesizer firmware, knowledge of musical theory most likely needed. The weak documentation for …

Arrgghhh.... Ymf724 + Als4000 is not the best combination in fact. I did not manage to relocate OPL3 from Ymf724 card to e.g. 0x398 (although this seemed to be possible). I did not find any option in the Als4000 drivers to do so either. OK, next attempt would be with the ALS007 ISA card - not only …

AGP implementation in those early boards (ALI, SIS, Intel LX), well... sucks. High demand for electricity is not covered by circuits on the board. However, S3 Trio 3D works stable :) Maybe ATI Rage Pro is also good choice if you want to be period correct. Zyga, come back to the C64Power please, we …

I bought two such boards - they came with Celeron (333 MHz), YMF724 based PCI sound cards, S3 Trio 3D AGP graphics card and some oldschool network card (BNC+RJ) that I got rid of immediately. I think I got them from the same source (ha ! they also have Adax stickers), as they were pretty dirty ;) …
