Soundchip: MOS Technology SID


Properties of the System

Note Range: A-0 -> C-7

Max Volume: F (global parameter of the soundchip, you have to use the ADSR to modify the volume per channel)

You have 3 channels, with selectable Waveforms (Triangle, Saw, Noise, Pulse), ADSR generators, 3 different filters that can be mixed and various other parameters.


There are two version of the SID chip, the 6581 and the 8580. DefleMask supports both of them, and the differences are: better mixing of waveforms for the 8580, and more agressive filters for 6581.
