Synthesix Lite FM - PSG Envelope Jam
Channel: Laurens Holst
Date: 2018-08-06

Playing around with the AY3 PSG’s envelope generator in audio spectrum, which makes ring modulation sound… first half of the video is me experimenting a bit, in the second half it turns into a nice jam (around 5:00).

I’m playing on the BeatStep Pro (and an Arturia Vortex on the side), which controls the MSX over MIDI, where I’m running a new little project of mine called Synthesix Lite FM, which turns the MSX into an OPLL + PSG synthesizer.

This video only features the PSG, of course. It’s using 2 tone channels, 1 envelope channel and 1 noise channel. One tone channel is not used because the BeatStep Pro can only control 3 channels at a time… maybe I should get a second one? 😄

Turn on the subtitles for commentary.
