| 04:23 | <@ToxicFrog> | the fuck |
| 04:23 | <@ToxicFrog> | how did this code ever work |

| 04:29 | <@McMartin> | Man, I hate that |
| 04:30 | <@ToxicFrog> | My best guess is that since I last used it, sed stopped accepting 'sed -r -r' as a valid command line. |
| 04:31 | <@ToxicFrog> | But then, the fact that my script was emitting 'sed -r -r' in the first place meant that on OSX it was running 'sed -r -E', which means Derakon should have reported it broken. |
| 04:31 | <@ToxicFrog> | But it worked for him. |
| 04:31 | <@ToxicFrog> | Aah well, works now. |
| 04:31 | | * ToxicFrog feasts on delicious Genesis soundtracks |
| 04:33 | <@ToxicFrog> | What is it about the YM2612 that causes it to sound so sweet? |
| 04:33 | | Reiv [orthianz@3CF3A5.E1CD01.36D449.95F5A5] has joined #code |
| 04:37 | <@McMartin> | It didn't do wavetable, so you don't get the otherwise-period instrument distortion at the high and low ends |
| 04:38 | <@ToxicFrog> | Well |
| 04:38 | <@ToxicFrog> | The thing is, it doesn't sound like actual instruments |
| 04:38 | <@ToxicFrog> | But it sounds kickin' rad nonetheless |
| 04:38 | <@McMartin> | Also, because it didn't do wavetable, the good soundtracks from the Genesis era tend to focus on superior composition over superior sound texture |
| 04:38 | <@McMartin> | Yamaha knew their electrons, man |
| 04:39 | <@McMartin> | My guess is that unlike most of the other non-wavetable synths (The Adlib/OPL2 comes to mind) it probably used actual sine waves. |
| 04:39 | <@McMartin> | WIKI WILL KNOW |
| 04:40 | <@ToxicFrog> | It does. |
| 04:40 | <@McMartin> | The use of a full sine wave oscillator over the OPL2's quarter-sine-wave oscillator probably does a lot for it |
| 04:42 | <@McMartin> | I'm not sure I fully grasp the significance of time-division multiplexing |
| 04:44 | <@McMartin> | Oh, hm |
| 04:44 | <@McMartin> | Even the OPL2 could do full sine wave |
| 04:45 | <@McMartin> | Wiki's sample OPL2 track is pretty good, too. |
| 04:45 | <@McMartin> | Tyrian's soundtrack is usually better expressed as OPL2 programming than as General MIDI, too. |
| 04:46 | <@McMartin> | CAMANIS is one of my favorite tracks for the chip. |
| 04:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | Hmm. I wonder if I should try out this 'foobar2000' thing one of these days. |
| 04:48 | <@McMartin> | OK, after doing some more reading |
| 04:49 | <@McMartin> | I believe what you're reacting to in Genesis music is this effect specifically: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Frequency_modulation_synthesis |
| 04:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | Aah |
| 04:53 | <@McMartin> | Because it looks like that and an extremely limited PCM channel were GYM's only tricks. |
| 04:56 | <@McMartin> | (This trick, plus a few waveform transforms, and a less limited PCM channel gets you the Classical Sound Blaster. So there's going to be some Warm Nostalgia Fuzzies there too.) |
