Hi. Really astonishing how much detail flew into your emulation with all the sonical movements grittyness and awkward behaviour of the sounds. I appreciate that very much because I am always looking for that extra unique and not unified clean sound like they all have. Your philosophy seems to be emulating without compromises. Well done! Joy to you.
"Did you have one of these?" [Opens closet, pulls out exact keyboard as the first example in the video] Yes, I apparently do. Given to me from its previous owner, who was probably not its first owner. Please tell me there's something useful I can do with it, ha ha ha
Jeffrey Brice Music Yes eventually. It will be a small production. While I did buy 300 of those chips Who knows how much more there are that will get recycled and resold in china.
plgDavid that's totally fair. I'm sure it's quite a process. Out of all the music tech projects out there yours are the ones I follow most. If and when you do release carts I'm hoping to have one of each :P
@@plgDavid Thank you. I have another idea: it would be interested to have a library of rhythms (drum loops) from styles in PSS 380/270/140 etc in PortaFM...
Men's brains amaze me with these kind of details haha. I am trying to understand some of the terminology and it is going over my head 😂 I love the FM sound!
@@plgDavid Around 2010 I once met and briefly talked to a woman from a team, that worked on the original ARM chip. She definitely knew her sh*t! I forget her name though as it was a very quick chat at a supermarket checkout.
We are not conducting decapsulation, but my sources tell me some deeper intrusive methods would be needed to capture the VRC7 instruments as they are on the DIE. We used a different method for all 4 known variants which are 100% "ear accurate", but surely a few bit off with the actual ROM. I dare you find a difference though :)

Loooovely! Such deep care for this stuff, mate!
Bless you for testing against real hardware!
Great video. Just bought Porta fm yesterday and having a good time now. Amazing plug-in.
Fine work and finer still to come.
Those matching spectrums are pretty sexy. :O
Thanks! Means a lot coming from you!

Look silly on stage
At 0:09 that was my childhood right there. I had that exact PSS-140 when I was younger.
So good. Thank you!
Very interesting to see behind the process. Are the cartridges still something you're thinking of putting out?
Jeffrey Brice Music Yes eventually. It will be a small production. While I did buy 300 of those chips Who knows how much more there are that will get recycled and resold in china.

How did you command the sound chips from famicom carts on famicom directly from the synthesizer ?
Custom C++ code on microcontroller inside the shell
Et le VST lui parle à travers MIDI
plgDavid what
@@joshi_6887 Quoi what? Il faut préciser la question.
Great synth! I had PSS-390 in 1990s... I have purchased the PortaFM lately. I love it :) What does the DMXOPLL mean?
Its a suite of open source patches out there

Have the instruments from the VRC7 been dumped?

We used a different method for all 4 known variants which are 100% "ear accurate", but surely a few bit off with the actual ROM. I dare you find a difference though :)
plgDavid It would be cool to have the exact settings, but as long as they sound the same, I really don't care that much.
@B3ro1080 That they were.
@B3ro1080 Yeah I actually reproduced the debug mode on hardware and had 9 channels on VRC7. Pretty amazing discovery
@B3ro1080 Yamaha made the chip and stamped a Konami logo on it... so doubtful!
00:8 Oh god, haven't heard that for almost 30 years!
This is soooooo awsome, like wow :D Do you make VSTs from those chip dumps?
Kacper Jacuński most of our VSTs are based from my hardware rigs and the research team I put toghether see plogue.com Thanks!
No, thank you :D
incredible
This is cool, but why is there no OPL2 or OPL3 mode for extra waveforms?
Jack Cimino Because its an emulation of the OPLL only. Would be easy to add but wouldn’t be the “cheapest FM synth” anymore
请问大大，软件她支持中文吗？
I have a PSS-170 across the room from me for no reason. It sounds just as quanky as it did when I got it.
