Re: Asking for help from a programmer about Ensoniq emulation
02/20/14 07:10 PM


Ok, things are rolling pretty well:
Only the first 256 lines of the given table are actual "samples". What's below that line is a mistery, but it's not playable.
I put "samples" in quotes 'cause 4 entries "points" to the same area (line 256 is the fourth occourence) so i suspect that it really means "end of .... something".

Question: the table was that size 'cause it was somewhat declared and "pointed" in that way in the debugger, or was just a guessing 'cause the similarity of the data?

The loops points works almost flawlessy, and this means that the most hard and boring part of my task is already done.
What it remains to me is to identify some sounds, that i can't with just my ears.
There's any chance to get some help on them? Is the MESS SQ1 emulation playable, or it requires a hack to accept MIDI notes?
The basic question is: how much is hard for a "mame-noob" like me to get the emulated SQ1 play notes and look at what ROM address it is reading?
I don't think it's trivial without any help and guide, but i really don't know.
Is it an hard task for an expert person? OR: is it hard to write something that write what i need on screen?

-EDIT-
OR, if it is easier, someone could find what happens when the display is updated with the choosen sample name and "family" and look who point to that sample table...somewhere there's an association between the sample name strings and the samples table....

There's an HEX Editor able to show this kind of Type?


Thanks again to all, i'm going back to the virtual sampler.
