PCE PCM

[elmer]

Volume (channel, pan, global) for all channels is log, but waveform data is linear. The 10bit waveform data for paired channels for 10bit is linear as well; the second channel volume is set to be 1/32 that of channel 1, so it all lines up. You can do 12 or 13bit with three channels I believe, but it's not really worth it.

Thanks! 

That's cool ... so just subtract 10 from the channel volume (for 1/32 with a 1.5bdB step), and then do some bit-shifting.

That doesn't sound too nasty. 

I just ordered an Owon SDS1702 scope, so I can retest test stuff if you need. Probably gonna pickup a 100mhz 16 channel logic analyzer soon too.

Fun toys! Are you planning to do some hardware design work in the future to justify those? 

I'm still hoping for a full SuperGrafx/SuperCDROM/ACD with HDMI in an FPGA, one day!

You ever read something online and get erect nipples?

That's what this post did.

Nah, can't really justify the cost of it (but it wasn't too bad). Just some things I wanted to test out on the PCE, for clarity. Plus, I plan to do some micro controller stuffs in the near-ish future.
