Its aim is to be a freely available homebrew sound / music engine that runs entirely on the z80 and allows complete control over the YM2612 and PSG sound chips. * Supports all FM & PSG channels. * Supports PCM at 11KHz despite only using the Z80 * PSG Volume control using Envelopes * SFX can play while BGM gets played, interesting for games, and once SFX is done, the BGM can use the channels again (Intellignent SFX control) * and a lot more I am too lazy to put in this NFO... This tune is the very first publically shown tune that fully utilizes this engine and: It is also the very first publically shown tune that uses ALL of the ten sound channels available on the Mega Drive / Genesis system! * Sound produced using: EchoTool v0.5a by Oerg866 * Run the binary in an emulator or on real hardware :) Because it has some graphical VU meters to spice things up :D (Too bad they aint gonna show it on the big screen..) PLEASE NOTE: The tune will sound out of tune (haha pun) on Kega Fusion, so please use Regen or real HW :P ... * Please DO note that neither Echo nor EchoTool are released as of Revision 2011. I do not know when he will release the stuff tho... And as long as Echo isnt released, there is no reason to release the tool to make music with it either :D But: Please, to respect his work, do not rip the z80 engine nor disassemble it. That's it so far ! Cheers to all Revisionists, Oerg866 CEO of... oh who am I kidding :P
