MockingBoard Mini-manual (Part 2): Sound Programming

|
|
|
The user can set Tone Frequency (12 bits, 4 coarse & 8 fine)* and
|
|
Amplitude (4 bits) for each channel individually. A fifth Amplitude bit
|
|
lets
|
|
you decide if a channel's Level will be "fixed" (use the Level value) or
|
|
"variable" (i.e. follow the current Envelope pattern). You can set NG
|
|
Frequency (4 bits)* but not level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Tone Freq = A2 Clock Freq/ [ (4096 x Coarse) + (16 x Fine) ]
|
|
Noise Freq = A2 Clock Freq/ (16 x NG value)
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Envelope of the combined outputs of enabled sources can be
|
|
controlled
|
|
for Period (16 bits, 8 coarse & 8 fine)** and, roughly, for Shape (4
|
|
bits).
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Env Freq = A2 Clock Freq/ [ (65536 x Coarse) + (256 x Fine) ]
|
|
|
|
|
|
The registers of the PSG are described briefly below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reg. Function & Bit(s) used
|
|
|
|
|
|
00 A Freq. fine (0-7)
|
|
01 A Freq. coarse (0-3)
|
|
02 B Freq. fine (0-7)
|
|
03 B Freq. coarse (0-3)
|
|
04 C Freq. fine (0-7)
|
|
05 C Freq. coarse (0-3)
|
|
06 NG Freq. (0-4)
|
|
07 Enable =0/ Disable =1
|
|
|
|
|
|
NG on A (5) on B (4) on C (3)
|
|
Tone on A (2) on B (1) on C (0)
|
|
Ex: Writing $F0 to Reg 07 plays tones A, B, C plus noise on C
|
|
|
|
|
|
08 A Level (0-3) and
|
|
Envelope Control (4): 1 = Use Env; 0 = Use Level value
|
|
|
|
|
|
09 B Level (0-3) and ...
|
|
0A C Level (0-3) and ...
|
|
0B Envelope Period Fine (0-7)
|
|
0C Envelope Period Coarse (0-7)
|
|
0D Envelope Shape (four bits)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Continue (3) 0= do 1 cycle and set Level to zero
|
|
Attack (2) 1= count up 0= count down
|
|
Alternate (1) 1= reverse count direction each cycle
|
|
Hold (0) 1= do 1 cycle and hold count
|
|

To program the MB you write to the board's 6522 I/O chip(s). All
|
|
addresses reference here are for a MB Sound II (2 Output channels) in Slot
|
|
4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
$C400 ORB1 function to perform, OUT 1
|
|
$C480 ORB2 function to perform, OUT 2
|
|
$C401 ORA1 data, OUT 1
|
|
$C481 ORA2 data, OUT 2
|
|
$C402 DDRB1 data direction, OUT 1
|
|
$C482 DDRB2 data direction, OUT 2
|
|
$C403 DDRA1 data direction, OUT 1
|
|
$C483 DDRA2 data direction, OUT 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before sending music, etc. data to the MB you must Initialize the board's
|
|
I/O. To Initialize the 6522's: Store $FF at $C402 and the other three
|
|
DDRxx addresses. This needs to be done by your program just once.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your program gets access to a PSG via the 6522 by using a few basic
|
|
Function codes which set the PSG's I/O control lines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set Inactive = $04 Set PSG Reg# = $07 Write Data = $06 Reset = $00
|
|
|
|
|
|
To Write to a PSG register: Tell the PSG which Register you wish to access
|
|
(i.e. Set the "current register" #) and Write the data. This is easiest to
|
|
do with subroutines to handle the basic Functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example Subroutines (for Output Channel 1):
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set Reg # 1000: A9 07 8D 00 C4 A9 04 8D 00 C4 60
|
|
Write Data 100B: A9 06 8D 00 C4 A9 04 8D 00 C4 60
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notice that each Function sub ends by setting the PSG control lines to
|
|
Inactive.
|
|
Similarly, to do a Reset (set all PSG regs to zero) ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reset 1016: A9 00 8D 00 C4 A9 04 8D 00 C4 60
|
|
|
|
|
|
To put the value $55 in PSG Register 02 (Channel B Freq. fine) ....
|
|
|
|
|
|
1080: A9 02 put Reg# in A
|
|
1082: 8D 01 C4 store A at the Data address ORA1
|
|
1085: 20 00 10 JSR to Set Reg# (sets "current register" to Register
|
|
2)
|
|
1088: A9 55 put the value $55 in A
|
|
108A: 8D 01 C4 store A at the Data address ORA1
|
|
108D: 20 0B 10 JSR to Write Data ($55 goes into PSG Register 2)
|
|
1090: 60 Exit from subroutine
|
|
|
|
|
|
Good luck!
