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.

<cr1901_modern> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtjx-vgw9Cw I want all future technical difficulty prompts to come with kickass music
<cr1901_modern> (Apparently a remix of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wabkoSoepZk)
<fseidel> and it's in here too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVxuaDQLCRM
<fseidel> is that _every_ obscure sonic arcade/amusement machine?
<fseidel> oh, I guess it's not in Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car...

<cr1901_modern> fseidel: It is sickenly catchy
<cr1901_modern> thanks for the find
<KitsuWhooa> Surely I can't be the only one who thinks it's harsh on the ears :p
<cr1901_modern> KitsuWhooa: I mean, I genuinely think the Options Theme of Sonic Spinball is good
<cr1901_modern> so YMMV
<KitsuWhooa> ...ah :p
<KitsuWhooa> it definitely varies, yes =p
<cr1901_modern> Options theme needs more feedback in operator 1, IMO

<cr1901_modern> Maybe someone can correct my math for me here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_floppy_disk_formats#Physical_composition
<cr1901_modern> The unformatted capacity of a single density disk is 250KB
<cr1901_modern> (err, per side)
<cr1901_modern> It has a theoretical storage capacity of 5876 bits per inch
<cr1901_modern> So, to get the number of bits per track, I do: (250KB * 8 bits)/40
<cr1901_modern> 50000 bits per track
<cr1901_modern> with a theoretical storage capacity of 5876 bits per inch, that means the circumference required at MINIMUM to store 50000 bits is... 50000/5876... 8.5 inches
<cr1901_modern> That is a circle of radius... 8.5/(2*pi) 1.35 inches... does that sound right?
<cr1901_modern> I don't have a ruler handy; can anyone measure out 1.35 inches and tell me if it's remotely close to track 40 on a 5.25" floppy?
<cr1901_modern> It sounds reasonable, but 8.5 inches is a lot...
<ZrX-oMs> If the disk has 48 track per inch...
