Additional notes from poking the CVS sound hardware with an
In Circuit Emulator from PrSwan (Paul Swan).
I have recordings available.
- 0x1884 - Enables an XP8038 frequency generator IC
Reflected on pin 10 of a 4016.
The frequency is set by 0x1840, the 8 bit DAC register.
Not all 0x1840 values were tested, but:
0x00 - off, 0x1884 enable has no sound.
0x55,0xAA,0xFF - increasing value has higher frequency
- 0x1885 - A scope showed this halving the XP8038 amplitude with a little decay.
Causes 4016 pin 11 to rise (on) and decay-fall (off)
- 0x1886 - Mikes comment above about a high pitched whistle didn't match my PCBs. His was faulty?
Outputs a complete Galaxia-style ship fire sound, with attack-to-on and decay-to-off.
- 0x1887 - Reflected on an LM380.
Causes an envelope-like operation on the XP8038 tone with attack (on) and decay (off).
