ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

ym2414B OPZ doesn't have a public manual
<whitequark>
i'm going to hook up opl3 to glasgow i think
<whitequark>
i was wondering what i should do and this came up
<cr1901_modern>
what came up?
<whitequark>
i asked tef to tell me whether i should implement ymf262 support or finish 1wire
<whitequark>
he flipped a coin and said ymf262
<cr1901_modern>
ahhh, as good as any decision making method
<cr1901_modern>
although 1-wire ymf262 would be amusing
<cr1901_modern>
the most recent designs are SPI, but Yamaha only makes them in limited edition quantities
* cr1901_modern
doesn't remember the part name

LPC bus ym when
<whitequark>
yamaha still makes them?
<cr1901_modern>
whitequark: They made a small run of a spiritual successor to the FM synths (have no idea whether it's OPL, OPN, OPBBQ, whatever). It's Arduino compatible, uses SPI, and the basic hallmarks of a Yamaha synth are there.
<cr1901_modern>
Idk if they are still made, nor how to get one- I missed the window :/

cr1901_modern: can I get a part number on that thing?
<Lord_Nightmare>
the werid yamaha spi FM chip which is hard to get?
<Lord_Nightmare>
YMF825
<Lord_Nightmare>
if you find some place which has the arduino module/shield for it in stock let me know, i've been hunting for one myself
<ej5>
heh, after all my SP0256 experiments, 8bitguy releases a video on speech synthesis
<fseidel>
Lord_Nightmare: ah, I think I found a datasheet for that thing a while back
<cr1901_modern>
Last I looked at this, it was sold out
<cr1901_modern>
>Dual Power Supply(5 V/3.3 V) Configuration
<cr1901_modern>
Why would you use both power supplies when there's a 5v-only config?
<cr1901_modern>
cc: whitequark if you want to decap a YMF825... available at the link fseidel and I posted. Looks like according to the datasheet it was released in 2011...
<cr1901_modern>
(Of course the datasheet describes jack shit about registers)
<whitequark>
cr1901_modern: ok...
<cr1901_modern>
why the elipses?
<whitequark>
just being not fully awake
<whitequark>
is there an OPL3 application manual?
<cr1901_modern>
yes, and it's easier to find
<cr1901_modern>
well IMO
<cr1901_modern>
btw, did you read the backscroll? Found out where that opl2 manual came from. It was Stilett0's... he got it from someone who had a paper copy
