Sound Chip, whisper me your secrets [video]
Vintage sound chips make cool music, but what's hiding inside of them? Which algorithms are they using? In the past years I've been dedi...
In the past years I've been dedicating my free time to building emulators for old digital sound chips from synthesizers/game consoles, in an effort to preserve them and make them usable without the original hardware. During this time I went through lots of interesting stuff: silicon reverse engineering, logic analyzers, weird compression schemes, forgotten audio algorithms and more. Instead of analyzing fixed behavior hardware, this time I want to focus more on DSPs: processors that can execute code to manipulate audio data in real-time.
