■ Explanation of words
- The words used in this manual are explained below.
- SCSP(Saturn Custom Sound Processor)
- This is a multi-function game sound generator LSI that combines a PCM sound source and a sound DSP.
- Data (DATA)
- Bit is the smallest unit representing 0 or 1. 8 bits are collectively called a byte, and 16 bits (or 2 bytes) are called a word. When the upper and lower bytes are divided into 4 bits, each is called a nibble.
- Banpot (PAN-POT)
- A function that determines the localization (localization: direction and position where sound is heard).
- Direct data
- Sound that does not pass through DSP, or does not apply any effect even though it passes through, is called direct data (or dry data).
- Effect data
- When the sound generated by the sound source section is subjected to some effect through the DSP, the resulting sound is called effect data (or wet data).
- MIDI Standard (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
- A standard for communicating between electronic musical instruments and computers and exchanging pitches and lengths.
