Suggestion for the SID-Testtone application

[Marxon]

Hi,

 

I have a suggestion for the SID Testtone application:

How about modifying the application, so that it not just generates a simple sine tone 

but plays a whole sequence with changing oscillators and filters?

This would be a fast and easy way to test whether a SID chip is completely working or not.

 

Best regards

Doesn't the test tone app just use the PIC as an oscillator to test if all of the hardware connections work (i.e. without a SID)?

[TK.]

It also configures the SID to play the test tone.

 

However, it's a very simple application. It wasn't intended to extend it by sequencing capabilities.

If somebody wants to test the SIDs, just upload the MBSID application and play some patches. This could be automated with an external sequencer.

 

Best Regards, Thorsten.
