Hi, You can now Play with / test the Tandy DAC. This new version is useful only if you want to test the OPL3LPT and the Tandy DAC. Use of an EMS card is recommended for big modules. 18/10/2020 Beta 22 - Fixed one bug for the Tandy Port config - Added OPL3LPT Support - Changed in the way the mixing …

Probably big thing, but... Is there possibility to add support for XMS memory in addition to EMS ? I know that XT can't use XMS, but for 286 this will be useful (when there is no EMS driver available, you can't use EMM386, and UMB_EMS4 is too slow) I even don't know how XMS is working. I basically …

If there is any way to add more keyboard controls to some dialogs, like on/off for 16-bit mixing and/or EMS usage, that would be cool and require less people to use a mouse when testing. But if the code isn't set up for it, no need to worry about it. It is done, Basically use the first letter of …

Hi, If you redo the full replay in an external .ASM file, I can integrate it in Mod Master 😀 Anyway, it will be worth it if musicians start to use it.

Is there a need to go higher than 48 KHz? Even 8-bit, that frequency response (including the distortion added by 8-bit) is already above the range of human hearing... Not to mention the 5kHz roll-off and ~11kHz cutoff filtering affecting the output of most PSSJ implementations. Yep, I don't know …

I wondered about the 2K buffer thing, because when I was looking at the docs I couldn't see that as a limit. The BIOS extensions for the DAC don't have that limit either, so glad that we were both mistaken on that. But it is a shame it does IRQ only at the end of a buffer, so we have to resort to …

Tandy DAC was released a year before Sound Blaster, so even more of a shame. I'm delighted that your TL/2 (an 8MHz 286) could run modm xt all the way up to 48 KHz. Yep, When I bought the Tandy TL and I did look on internet for the DAC Speed, I saw 22KHz almost everywhere, but I also saw 44kHz …

The New Tandy stuff is working and as usual, need some adjustment before I can release it. (You can see it on my Twitter account) The Sound quality of this thing is excellent, what a pity that too few software support it.

My file format is based on the formats of typical Adlib trackers (Amusic, RAD). And I also used portamento according to the approach of FM trackers (seemed to make more sense as an orientation for a Tandy tracker than sample based ones). That the format is too much tailored to the Tandy sound chip, …
