Difference between revisions from 2017/01/09 21:30 and 2016/09/01 13:31.The YM2203 (OPN) and [YM2608 (OPNA) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM2608] are sound chips found in the NEC Japanese computers.
You can get a good tutorial about PMD98 on Noyemi K's website: [pmd98 setup http://delmunsoft.com/PMD%20Setup.html] and [pmd98 programming http://delmunsoft.com/PMD%20Programming.html].
The full [MML commands for pmd98 http://battleofthebits.org/lyceum/View/Professional%20Music%20Driver%20Effects%20Commands] are on BotB.
Here are some memo and additions:
FM instruments are defined this way:
| Shortcut | Name | Range |
| No | Reference number | 0～255 |
| AR | Attack Rate | 0～31 |
| DR | Decay Rate | 0～31 |
| SR | Sustain Rate | 0～31 |
| RR | Release Rate | 0～15 |
| SL | Sustain Level | 0～15 |
| TL | Total Level | 0～127 |
| KS | Key Scale | 0～3 |
| ML | Multiple | 0～15 |
| DT | Detune | 0～7 |
| AM | AMS Enable | 0～1 |
| AL | Connection | 0～7 |
| FB | Self Feedback | 0～7 |
For example, a flute:
```
; nm alg fb
@001 003 007 = Flute
; ar dr sr rr sl tl ks ml dt ams
028 005 003 006 014 042 003 012 007 000
011 007 000 006 015 051 001 008 000 000
014 002 000 006 002 048 003 004 003 000
012 016 000 007 001 000 002 004 000 000
```
a bass:
```
; nm alg fb
@002 002 004 = Jazz Fretless Bass
; ar dr sr rr sl tl ks ml dt ams
031 026 015 015 015 019 001 007 000 000
031 014 015 015 015 028 002 001 000 000
031 000 000 015 002 026 003 000 000 000
031 000 000 015 001 012 004 001 000 000
```
To convert your music into MML for PMD-98, you can use deflemask for designing the instruments (in DefleMask: A = ar ; D = dr ; S = sl ; MULT = ml ; R = RR ...) and [3ML editor http://3ml.jp/download.html] for exporting from midi. Just export tracks individually using the "Mabinogi MML format", and __un__check the "optimize MML" option. (remove the ``MML@`` before the notes).
a sample MML file for using with PMD-98:
