There are also a couple tiny instances of formatting, like [sic] in the Namco 163 doc (yes, it is now correctly formatted) and a couple labels that needed bold.

# AY8930 instrument editor
|
|
|
|
the AY8930 instrument editor consists of two tabs.
|
|
|
|
## Sample
|
|
|
|
for sample settings, see [the Sample instrument editor](sample.md).
|
|
|
|
the only differences are the lack of an "Use wavetable" option, and the presence of a "Use sample" one.
|
|
|
|
note that using samples on AY is CPU expensive!
|
|
|
|
## Macros
|
|
|
|
- **Volume**: volume sequence.
|
|
- **Arpeggio**: pitch sequence.
|
|
- **Noise Freq**: noise generator frequency sequence.
|
|
- note: global!
|
|
- **Waveform**: selector of sound type - square wave tone, noise and/or envelope generator.
|
|
- you may select more than one option.
|
|
- **Pitch**: fine pitch.
|
|
- **Phase Reset**: trigger restart of **envelope**.
|
|
- **Duty**: duty cycle sequence.
|
|
- **Envelope**: configures the hardware envelope.
|
|
- **enable**: sets whether envelope is enabled.
|
|
- **direction**: flips the envelope's direction.
|
|
- **alternate**: when enabled, the envelope will change direction once it hits a boundary.
|
|
- **hold**: sets whether the envelope should stop when hitting boundary, or loop.
|
|
- **AutoEnv Num**: sets the envelope to the channel's frequency multiplied by numerator.
|
|
- **AutoEnv Den**: sets the envelope to the channel's frequency multiplied by denominator.
|
|
- these two must be set in order for AutoEnv to work!
|
|
- **Noise AND Mask**: alters the shape/frequency of the noise generator, allowing to produce various interesting sound effects and even PWM phasing.
|
|
- **Noise OR Mask**: see above.
