								the console is powered by the Ricoh 2A03, a CPU with sound generator built-in. it has five channels: first two channels play pulse wave with three different duty cycles, third is a fixed-volume triangle channel, fourth is a noise channel (can work in both pseudo-random and periodic modes) and fifth is a (D)PCM sample channel.
