SOUND EFFECTS FOR MUSIC
PROCESSOR AND MATCHING
With the main melody
So muzprotsessor ... Gone are the
times when people are satisfied with
unassuming bibikanyami dynamics
SPECCY during the game. Now anyone who
wrote his play necessarily involves in it
music. Naturally, for AY'a. Someone is coming
further supports LPT COVOX,
SOUNDRIVE, GENERAL SOUND ... Someone
music is better, someone worse, but it's not
it - now the program without music
support for AY causes at
as a surprise. However, listening music,
but sometimes it is not enough. So
want to hear the shuffling of feet of the hero or
dripping water, for example, and you hear only
some overextended motif (well even if
music can be turned off). But suddenly you
still hear the rustle of wind and cherished ...
Notice that prevails around the dead
silence, which can not revive even your
steps. There inevitably recall
unprecedented cycle of games DIZZY, where
through the music clearly punched
sounds ... on the dynamics of the beeper. In general, where
Whatever else - everywhere wedge. Yes, sometimes all the same
there are programs in which the sound
effects are displayed in parallel with the music,
but such examples are quite small.
I hope this article helps someone
when writing their own toys. I
do not claim to truth in the last
instance, moreover, convinced that someone
decided / solve this problem more elegantly me
but still ...
While working on "CSC: Deja Vu" in
some point the question arose
accompanied by music games. Remembering
public reaction to the absence of AY-music
CSC-1 (by the way, there is already version for cars
with 128K RAM. And the music plays in
menus and during gameplay.) was
unanimously agreed to voice a new game.
After a while it became clear that
music just is not enough. Panda
vystrenko concocted a dozen effects
and ... Work has stalled. Nobody knew
how to combine music and effects. All
attempts ended in failure - the hissing,
wheezing, and nothing more. Even working with
specially written dual
music, nothing gave. Although surprised
nothing: Panda writes music, but only as
I generally far from the case man.
One way or another, but the question was about the effects of
postponed indefinitely. And
generally, somewhere in late May '97go work
the game ended. The reason for that was
my own and draw more glitches.
Somewhere in the middle of autumn 1997, I
traveled to Sevastopol, where he met with
Dismaster'om and Squizer'om (not counting
gang SMASH'evtsev). At that time, I again
started thinking about the continuation of work on
CSC (at that time there was a program
AVTOMASKI, but my computer is broken)
why did not fail to take advantage of
case and agreed with Dismaster'om
What about the special the Player for music and
special effects. Arranged for the left ... Passed
three months ... Dis'a probably everything
forgot (I, too, is good, and not
bothered to write a letter or Squizer'u,
nor Dis'e), and the cry of Mighty Hacker none
and did not think to respond. In short,
wait for assistance was not from anyone, and that's
himself had come to grips with this
problem.
Below is an example of a small
program that I have supplied
exhaustive, in my opinion,
comments. I think, understand that the
Why not make much effort. Yes, until
do not forget - my program is designed for something
that the sound effects are derived via
'B', a two-channel music. It is possible,
Of course, removing the last restriction, but
then have to sacrifice cleanliness
sound effects and live with
overlay, which will inevitably arise.
But everyone makes their own way, so that
See for yourself. Literature, which I
used until the deal with the work
AY'ka not numerous: ZX-REVIEW # 5'95 and
Unforgettable "ZX-SPECTRUM and TR-DOS for
users and programmers, "A. Larchenko
and Rodionova.
In the beginning you need to know
number of notes (I'm no expert, so
I admit that some of the terms will be
a misnomer, however, important
is the essence) in the special effects. To do this, I personally
use the following primitive
applets in BASIC:
10 RANDOMIZE USR 49152: LET A = 65533:
LET B = 0: REM sound effect is written
ProTracker'e in and swapped out to disk
together with the player at
49152
20 RANDOMIZE USR 49158: LET B = B +1:
OUT A, 9: PRINT AT 0,0; "Volume
Channel B = "; IN A;" "';" Number of the current
notes = "; B;" ": REM This line readout
is called volume information for
Channel B, the end of the sound
says 0 on the screen and silence in
dynamics, the number in a long
LEN, on kotoy it will be lower.
1930 PAUSE 0: IF INKEY $ <> "q" AND
INKEY $ <> "Q" THEN GOTO 1920: REM
This line is necessary for
stepping effects.
Calculating the length (number of B) can proceed
to the procedures in assembler. Load the file
FX (can not be shipped, if memory
computer has not been cleaned after use
BASIC program) with the desired effect and
consistently perform routines
MAKE and PACKER. The first essential for
creation of a memory array data
muzprotsessora registers, and the second - for
little optimization of the array
(The optimization is incomplete, since it is possible to win
another byte of each note).
After this, ready reserve unit
Data from the address pointed to by
variable SOUND (40000), length LEN * 4
(Packed, though, as said above,
possible and LEN * 3).
Now we can proceed
directly to the demonstration. As
set the music to interrupt, I think,
no one explained the do not. But before
initializing the player must
make any minor changes. For
This should throw a block on TO_PLAYER
address equal adres_zagruzki_muzyki 1351
(For player of the PT2.1). Block length
97 bytes.
Someone may wonder: "Why
completely remove the processing of a channel
from the player, if there so empty? "
In response, I can only offer
porobovat not to amend the
player - listen and compare.
Okay, to solve this. Now a couple of
words about the program, responsible for
playback effects. I did so,
sound to be issued on AY pressing
FIRE key at Kempston (incidentally, that
quit the program, you should click
simultaneously UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT on the
same Kempston). Of course, the game you
have to add a procedure for choosing the right
sound, etc. etc. But in this case
It does not require, therefore, assume that
There is only one SFX, which must be heard
when you press certain keys and not
interrupted until until you hear
the last note. Quite naturally,
SFX note should sound after the note
composition, ie, Once an interrupt. In
general, see the comments as
proper description of my program
come to an end.

I think that will be easy to understand.
Only note that this method of combining
effetov music and in my opinion is
easy because uses the traditional
player and a small sound issue protsedurka
in the channel. The hardest part -
directly to the creation of sound. More precisely,
create something just simply - in the same
editor, but relatively difficult to then
receive data. Maybe just for me
I do not argue. Yeah, write to someone
program from a human, I would be very
happy, but for want of a better ... Perhaps
someone like a soft, but I do not
met. Basically, as I understand it,
the authors write either for their own players
melodies and effects (for example, have done so
guys BITMUNCHERS in his toy
KLIDEMINER), or wildly distorted by
standard (demo version of MARIO BROS
OMEGA HACKERS). I do not know how
Glory comes Mednonogov - was not asked
to learn.
In any case, what would I have told,
as have so far not seen anywhere else and
article on this topic. Again,
either everyone knows everything, or everything to everyone do
not care.
This material in its time overtaken
the same fate as the article about AVTOMASKE.
I hope that even now, after
two years, it is someone will read and apply
on praktike.
