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. Channel logs: https://freenode.irclog.whitequark.org/~h~yamahasynths
<Lord_Nightmare> ValleyBell: is the format the same as the la32 uses for pcm, i.e. log-pcm?
<Lord_Nightmare> if it is, you could just call it Roland LogPCM or something

<andlabs> they had bonus brand floppies in japan?
<andlabs> neato
<andlabs> also I did not know yuzo koshiro only started writing game music in 1986
<andlabs> would have assumed he started earlier than that lol
<andlabs> I'm going to bed now; good night

<ValleyBell> Lord_Nightmare: No, the format is different from LA32.
<Lord_Nightmare> huh
<ValleyBell> It's still logarithmic, but samples are 8-bit.
<ValleyBell> LA32 uses 16-bit samples
<ValleyBell> Maybe I could just go with "Roland LP" and for the MT-32 we would go with "Roland LA"
<Lord_Nightmare> well technically la32 uses 15-bit samples; the lowest bit of the pcm roms seems to always be 0
<Lord_Nightmare> I'm interested in knowing what the algorithm is, since there's some odd logpcm sample formats we haven't figured out yet in general
<Lord_Nightmare> like the "OKI II" format used on msm6295
<Lord_Nightmare> which i don't think any game uses
<Lord_Nightmare> but the chip supports it and its undocumented
<Lord_Nightmare> thanks!
