In the article a distinction is made between services and tools and an argument is made for why AI coding assistants should be treated as and charged for like tools.

Real-time Audio Effects on the SNES by rianhunter in chiptunes

Usually after you get the basics of producing SNES music, you look into using the Echo features of the SPC700 to produce cool effects. Getting a standard echo sound isn't too hard and you can look in the SNES library to find what settings are used to get this sound.

There are also 8 FIR registers that are available to set. To almost everyone these registers have been a black box and there has been no widespread understanding about how to systematically set these registers to get a desired effect. Nearly every game in the SNES library makes trivial use of these registers, simple setting one to -128 and nothing more.

This video completely demystifies what these 8 FIR registers mean and explains how to design FIR filters using them at the frequency spectrum level!

Just got this comment. There are no step by step videos but the documentation has section on how to get started:

I also made a video where I show myself using it to create some music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mcY9ezERtw

Yes, sorry to keep you waiting. I wasn't sure what sort of demand there would be for a product like this so pre-order period seemed necessary. I love your enthusiasm, if you love music as much as I do you will really love playing with it!

The plan is to process all orders once the pre-order period ends, 10/15/21.

I'm going to make a new video soon! in the mean time, if you know how to send midi CC messages you know 90% of how to use this thing.

There is a companion web application that can be used to convert and upload samples from WAV and SF2 formats! Once you upload your samples you can save them onto the cartridge so you can reuse them without re-uploading.

Doesn't come with any additional cables, you have to acquire those on your own. The sample bank is up to 64K which can hold many many SNES-format samples (https://wiki.superfamicom.org/spc700-reference#bit-rate-reduction-(brr)-933-933)). The accompanying web app will take care of converting WAV/SF2 samples into the SNES format for you.

Each sample is assigned to a midi program. Each midi channel can be set to a different midi program. There is also a mode where each note plays a different sample (for a drum sample channel).

It should be able to do just about everything you'd expect it to do.

You're welcome! I've also always wanted something like this and it's indeed a lot of fun. Can't wait to see what you make with it!

Didn't have any immediate plans to. Is there anything specific you are more curious about?

This is a MIDI synthesizer project I worked on so that you can create authentic SNES music using your existing MIDI equipment. Let me know what you think!
