POKEY has 4 sound channels? Very cool!
>puts YM2149F with only 3 voices into Atari ST

>> No.7808101

You can do a lot with only three channels.

This one might be cheating because it's an 8580, but it still only has 3 channels

nice profile pic, did your mom take it after you told her about how you use your PS1 as a CD player while she drove you for chicken nuggums?

The YM2149F was also an ancient fossilized rock from the 70s, it predated POKEY even.

>> No.7808541

Bob Yannes among other things planned for six sound channels but Jack told him they had to get it finished on time for the 1982 CES and it was good enough, it would still beat anything else on the market.

I read somewhere that the sid was intended to have more channels but they could not get the multiplexing working in time, so they were forced to just copy and past the entire thing three times. Imagine in parallel universe where the sid had more channels.

Not every fabricated device needs a voice for every imagined gender it has
