Hi all,

I've been using this sound driver for my projects for a little over a year now. I was going to wait until I had a good tracker working or at least a sound script compiler, but I have not had much free time to work on these things. So I am releasing the driver and auditioning software now in case anyone wants to try and use it (or at least learn from it), and hopefully I will be able to finish some PC-side composition tools to make life easier.

The driver itself is based upon macro instruments, so instruments are simply sound effects played with a frequency offset. This allows you to get much more complex envelopes than just ADSR. Stereo panning and attenuation is supported, as is streaming of small samples from the cart. The driver is not very large and expects to live in $A000-$A6AF, and uses $A6B0-$BFFFF for sound effects and music data.

If anyone would like to try using the driver, or hear a demo, things have been uploaded here.

Enjoy.
