Ah, methinks the ADSR is the envelope.
Yep. It's been an envelope since before PCE existed ;3. Though, I don't think it's THAT primitive. It functions about on par with my Roland SH-101, and that thing is awesome.
What would be even cooler would be an emulated (via Mednafen, most likely) PSG engine with a Windows interface. Then you could tweak shit using a modern interface and hear actual (well, nigh-actual) PSG results.
Yeah. People have been saying that since like 2005. Maybe even earlier. It'd be easier to just use this since it works already and quit dreaming of what would be cooler since it'll probably never happen. -_-;
And what ccovell said is infinitely true. Some waves sound like complete ass if you apply no envelope to them. They come out harsh/abrasive, and lack any real character. I first discovered this when I did that Splatterhouse cathedral tune, and realized it 100% when I did the Shadow of the Beast tune.
The right wave + envelope is how you get a nice bass tone. Protocard recipients will see this when they get their cards.
With this program, you guys can actually grab the values, and punch them in as custom waveforms for Squirrel. Same for envelopes.
Ccovell: My only complaint, and it's a foofoo complaint, is the palette. Any chance you'd want to put in a palette-swap button for green/teal/yellow/orange/etc on black?
and, would you be against me packaging this tool in with Squirrel 3.0 when it gets released? With reference/link/etc, of course, so people don't think Aetherbyte wrote it.
