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.

<ej5> it's interesting how, for people outside japan, their culture is tied so strongly to manga and anime, when ordinary japanese have an awareness but not necessarily a strong affinity for it.
<ej5> huh, i have literally learned a new thing today: VNs. lol.
<Foone> brb driving over to your house with my VHS set of Neon Genesis Evangelion
<Foone> TIME FOR YOU TO LEARN
* ej5 hides under the couch
<TD-Linux> ej5, this vcf I wanted to show a vn I translated, but didn't finish it in time. next year :D
<ej5> honestly i only ever watched one anime -- cowboy bebop.
<ej5> it was very good.
<Foone> I keep trying to find a VN to put into the death generator and DDLC is the obvious one given the limited number of backgrounds and character pictures
<Foone> but at the same time, a very terrible fit for other reasons
<ej5> also since you're here, that fluke keyboard
<Foone> it doesn't have an OPL3 in it, I checked
<ej5> turns out a friend of mine donated one of those to the computer history museum. i'm hoping he knows where it came from.
<ej5> haha
<Foone> heh! I saw the computer history museum had one
<ej5> yeah that was his one.
<TD-Linux> ej5, snatcher would be cool
<TD-Linux> er Foone
<Foone> I've thought about it! but the easiest one to do in terms of not needing to translate it or anything would be the sega cd one and emulating that is not easy
<cr1901_modern> ej5: If you've played snatcher, snatcher is a VN.
<cr1901_modern> Early ones (late 80s, early 90s) are rather pornographic, gory/violent, or both. But they've gotten less pornographic over the years :).
<ej5> i have not. the closest for me was "the wolf among us"
<ej5> but telltale is gone, sadly
<Ultrasauce> Foone: YOU CAN'T CUT BACK ON SANITY! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!
<Foone> phoenix wright? that's a well known VN over here
<cr1901_modern> Evangelion is... interesting. I like Ep 25 and 26 more than EoE. But EoE is kinda gross as well (THAT scene near the beginning, and the context of the Asuka's final line)
<whitequark> if thats what grosses you out in eva youre missing the point completely imo
<cr1901_modern> I thought you haven't seen it
<cr1901_modern> There are different types of gross anyway- at least Gendo gets _some_ sort of comeuppance in EoE.
<whitequark> i've started
<whitequark> also
<whitequark> comeuppance doesn't really matter if you're a first party and not a third
* cr1901_modern honestly needs to think about that
<cr1901_modern> (For those who don't know: The context of Asuka's final line in EoE is that Hideki Anno didn't like her voice actress' delivery. So he asked Asuka's voice actress a really creepy that amounted to: "What would be the first words out of your mouth if you found a stranger over your bed at night?"...
<cr1901_modern> her response became the final line in EoE)
<cr1901_modern> creepy q*

<ValleyBell> Sarayan / Lord_Nightmare: happy research
<KitsuWhooa> enjoy :p
<ValleyBell> I'm looking forward to seeing the ROMs being part of a future MAME ROM set. :P
<KitsuWhooa> Something noteworthy, samples are across the ROMs, even though the roms are all in parallel
<KitsuWhooa> that'd be neat :p
<andlabs> yay gm.dls but for real
<andlabs> =P
<ValleyBell> We already had ROM dumps of the SC-55, actually.
<andlabs> I'm not sure how they differ soundbank-wise
<andlabs> but heh
<andlabs> one related thing I need to figure out one day
<andlabs> what sound bank / synthesizer the chip in the Yamah CBX-K1XG (SK1XG in Japan) is based on
<andlabs> now htat I have one of those
<andlabs> same deal with the PSR-270, which is the Yamaha keyboard I grew up with
<andlabs> the former because I want to know what professional synthesizer I no longer need to buy
<andlabs> the latter because I grew up withh it so it's a homage to my heritage

<KitsuWhooa> oops, nevermind that
