fhertz

since I already have synth chips, I wonder if anyone knows how they actually work, what sort of signals they want (pulse modulated sysex messages or what), whether they are digital or analogue signals, what frequency of signals, etc. i have 7.68MHZ crystal oscillators too. insight like that.

Thanks Peter! my 32 bit microcontroller has the below processor: MK20DX256VLH7 Cortex-M4 72 MHZ overclockable to 96 MHZ Where would you suggest a complete newbie to start? , both this forum and ucapps.de are very dense with material.

Hi, Finding the MIDIbox project was sort of a long path. I wanted the sound of a Yamaha YM2612, so first I Googled. I found some Ebay listings for chips and bought one. Then I needed to find a way to cause it to make sound. I saw that most people were using something called a Teensy (teensyduino) to handle the messages that the YM2612 needs. So I bought one of those. Then I had no idea what to do so I asked for help on the Teensyduino forum, and the first response was that I ought to check out your project. This is why I am here. It looks like I have wasted a lot of time and energy until now. I was looking for the source code of MIDIbox to see if it could be used to run a YM2612, and to see if it made enough sense for me to give my current microcontroller some instructions. Basically, I know nothing and I shouldn't even try to do this kind of insane project with zero experience in the matter. So my question is, is MIDIbox basically married to the suggested microcontroller? Also, where's the source code? This project looks really great and I wish I found it before I blew all sorts of money buying random parts that I may not even be able to use. Main interest: FM thanks!
