Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 3

I suggested in Part 2 that it might be possible to do some simple modulation of the amplitude of the AY-3-8910 channels rather than drive frequencies directly. This is taking a look at the possibilities of some kind of lo-fi direct digital synthesis using that as a basis. Part 1 - Getting started and looking at … Continue reading Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 3 →

Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 2

Following on from my initial experiments in Arduino and AY-3-8910 this post looks at the sound generation capabilities in a little more detail and adds some basic MIDI control. Part 1 - Getting started and looking at playing YM files. Part 2 - Adding basic MIDI control. Part 3 - Basic experiments with direct digital synthesis. Part 4 … Continue reading Arduino and AY-3-8910 – Part 2 →

Arduino and AY-3-8910

I've had some AY-3-8910 programmable sound generators for a while and planned to do something with them, but they've sat in the "to think about" box for a while. But recently getting hold of the WhyEm sound card for the RC2014 has re-awakened my interest. This is some "first looks" experiments with the AY-3-8910 and … Continue reading Arduino and AY-3-8910 →
