What the PSG also can sound like...

I posted some example code on the previous page just before your reply .

As for usefulness, with fully manual CPU timing on an ISR the tone frequency will be hard to get stable; with the PSG at least the base frequency will be solid, the pulse width (duty cycle) may jitter or drift a little but this is probably acceptable.

That’s for SCC, surely...

Oh yeah, derp.

Interesting point of view. It does sound different I think, although I don't think anyone has used the scc this way?

Also that filter trick works well and not difficult to implement? Maybe suggest it to Huey for trilotracker

this BASIC makes the SCC sound like in church. maybe the chip could do arcade r-type, who knows.
using a BASIC program to add sinuses. or calculate other ideas.

in openmsx with toggle_scc_viever you can see the curves
SCC needed in slot 1. In machine code after the "3E", that gotta be slot ID.
it takes a while to make the sinuses, then press enter for sound.
