cr1901 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.

> Ensoniq's FM emulation sounds like an angry, drunken Jean-Jacques Perrey.
<KitsuWhooa>
well, it is shitty emulation :p
<CatButts>
no
<CatButts>
it's a feature!
<CatButts>
adlib remix
<KitsuWhooa>
I can't remember if ESS AudioDrive also had OPL emulation
<CatButts>
it does
<KitsuWhooa>
I think it sounded better than this
<KitsuWhooa>
but I don't have that card with me to test :p
<CatButts>
ESS has its own fancy all 4OP mode
<CatButts>
for all 18 channels
<cr1901>
>Ensoniq used their ecw wavetable to play OPL/FM, so there's no attempt at emulating. It's just re-routing the notes, with hilarious results
<cr1901>
Oh dear...
<KitsuWhooa>
well, okay, you can call it that I guess :p
<KitsuWhooa>
Also, even the midi is fucked on the SBPCI drivers
<KitsuWhooa>
PM2 hangs the whole system if you tell it to use midi
<KitsuWhooa>
it's funny because the opposite sounds better most of the time. As in, playing midis with OPL2, even with the default patches the linux userspace tools come with
<KitsuWhooa>
bonus points if anyone recognises where it's from =p
<cr1901>
Idk, sorry :(

I just realized that "wavetable synthesis" is the industry-standard term for "the sound synthesis the Virtual Boy uses", but Idr what I called it other than "the sound synthesis the Virtual Boy uses"
<cr1901>
exact emulation of the LFSR in that system exists- Idk how they figured it out; Idk any decap projects for those chips

<cr1901>
So if you need me, reach me on hellsite
<qu1j0t3>
cr1901: Hey enjoy it!
<qu1j0t3>
cr1901: that's a long time! i'm way too long without one but not THAT long
<cr1901>
Good thing about living in NJ is day trips are 100% viable :)
<qu1j0t3>
hmu if you forget a turn and end up in YYZ
<qu1j0t3>
(toronto...)
<cr1901>
I'll make sure to take a left turn at Albuquerque
<cr1901>
For day trips, I have a choice of: AC, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, Wildwood, or Cape May. Going to Cape May till Wednesday for this trip

cr1901: late, but have fun and stay safe
<cr1901>
Will do, thanks :D!
<tunixman>
whatever you do don't get off at Rancho Cucamonga.
<qu1j0t3>
voice of experience sounds like
* tunixman
sad nod with tear
<tunixman>
I lived there back when it was still Etiwanda and the burn of the Limonite murders was still fresh.
<tunixman>
we did manage to claw the national band competition back to the west coast though after it had retreated to the midwest.
<NiGHTS>
Wineville Chicken Coop murders - Wikipedia
<tunixman>
That's because I got it confused with the street it was on.
<tunixman>
I think. Mira Loma is the new name of the city.
<cr1901>
>1926 and 1928
<cr1901>
>I lived there back when... the burn of the Limonite murders was still fresh.
<cr1901>
Uhhh, how old are you? :o
<tunixman>
hahahaha I'm exagerating a bit. But we did talk about them.
<tunixman>
it was sort of common knowledge, a bogeyman the teachers would use to scare the delinquents.
<cr1901>
The case I followed a lot from that area was EARONS. Was _very_ surprised he got caught.
<cr1901>
well from that area, I mean California*
<tunixman>
goddamn... I remember some of that.
<tunixman>
"The Original Nightstalker", yeah, wow...
<tunixman>
That whole central valley/inland empire span is basically interconnected.
<cr1901>
The composite drawings and the phone messages left to victims a literal decade after the crimes are creepy as fuck
<tunixman>
yeah...
<tunixman>
Oh yeah that's right, the visalia guy spread his wings and came down south.
<cr1901>
IIRC, authorities didn't know the Visalia guy and EARONS were the same person until he was arrested
<tunixman>
no, they didn't know for sure, but there was a lot of suspicion because of the similar techniques.
* cr1901
changes the topic to allow true crime to be on topic :P
<tunixman>
When I lived there the DX7 was all the rage so it's totally on topic.
<cr1901>
(No, not really. But if anyone has any complaints, since this is kinda gruesome, please let me know)
<cr1901>
mid-80s?
<tunixman>
yeah, thereabouts I think.
<tunixman>
It was the only place we lived for longer than 3-6 months during our childhood, and we managed to stay in that school system through the end of high school for me.
<tunixman>
I have a lot of weird mixed feelings that are super strong.
<cr1901>
I would fathom mid-80s California was an interesting place to grow up, and not just b/c of the unsolved crime :P
<tunixman>
oh yeah we had plenty of solved and "solved" crime too.
<tunixman>
It was very different from the subsequent phases of life.
<tunixman>
(my life{
<cr1901>
Incidentally, Foone was talking about DB Cooper recently, which I'd love to know what actually happened to him
<cr1901>
(even if the boring explanation- he died on impact w/ ground- is prob most likely)
<tunixman>
that's such a wild story.
<qu1j0t3>
_everyone_ wants to know. :)
<cr1901>
None of the money he took ever made it back into circulation... a small part of it was found buried in mud. So I'm guessing he died and is buried underneath some mud somewhere close by.
<cr1901>
or far away... Idk how far money can travel w/o human intervention over a decade
<qu1j0t3>
cr1901 | I would fathom mid-80s California was an interesting place to grow up // yeah i picture some kind of remix between Chinatown and Brick
<tunixman>
t qu1j0t3 that's not wrong at all.
<qu1j0t3>

Mad Men, where Dick Whitman grew up, that's what I'm thinking of.
<tunixman>
man I just want to drink to forget now.
<tunixman>
I suppose I did it to myself.
