Podcasts about sharp x68000

Released in 1987, the Sharp X68000 would lead the way for Japanese computer systems, ending its reign around 1996. Utilizing the Yamaha YM2151 sound chip would make the computer sing some of the best FM synthesis based VGM ever released. Today on XVGM Radio, we're joined by our third host NikoTengoku to spotlight just a … Read more "Episode 119 – The Sounds of the Sharp X68000"

Show Notes As has become tradition around here at the WaveBack podcast, every October Matt and Kris focus on the music of a different Castlevania game in chronological order. This time they're cracking their whips at an often overlooked entry in Konami's classic vampire killing franchise, and one that didn't find its way to North America until well after its initial release overseas. Watch out for trees being struck by lightning because tonight they listen to the music of Akumajo Dracula for the Sharp X68000.

Today's broadcast is C1E73 for Scene Sunday, March 26th 2023. Today's episode is a focus on the original chiptunes and cover works of Chipist and VGMporium podcast host rayjkayj on a program we're calling "UNKAYJ THE RAYJ"!    Tracklist: Track# (total / "chapter") - Track Name – System (approximated) - Production Source – Compo / Event (or N/A) - Timestamp (all tracks were composed by rayjkayj except for covers where original composer will be listed)      A1) Earcatcher: 00:00:00   A2) Intro – 00:00:21      "Chapter 1": 2011 – 2018: All tracks made in VGM Music Maker (VGMMM), which emulate the YM2612 FM chip of the Sega Genesis and the SN7689 PSG chip of the Genesis and Master System. For the purposes of considering these "of a certain system", think of the PSG-only tracks as Master System and the rest as Genesis.

I swear I’m not trying to out-obscure myself every few episodes, but I stumbled on this one and had to share. I mean, I’ve said how much I love a good shooter soundtrack and how much I love a good X68000 soundtrack. Now, a good X68000 shooter soundtrack? Yeah, right in my wheelhouse. Anyway, you’ll […]

Programa de Radio No.140 Podcast 289Transmitido el 19 de Mayo 2021 por Radio y TV. Querétaro 100.3 FMEn este episodio tendremos la música del compositor Sakuraba Motoi, músico de formación académica que se inclinó por el Rock Progresivo y que conforme al paso del tiempo lo adaptó en la realización de música de videojuegos hasta fusionarlo con la orquesta para ambientar videojuegos que requieren ese dinamismo y acción que sólo el compositor puede transmitir en videojuegos como Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile y Dark Soul, mañana nos enfocaremos en sus primeros trabajos programados en computadora para sistemas como la NEC PC98 y la Sharp X68000.

This week, I’m getting back to the game soundtrack I had to pull an audible on – Star Trader for the X68000! I originally thought the soundtrack for this version was the same as the original version of the game on the PC-88. As it turns out, I was way off! The original version of […]

Who else but Motoi Sakuraba could get me to check out the soundtrack for a side-scrolling shooter that started life on the Sharp X68000? Yeah, probably Falcom Sound Team, but Sakuraba got me here this time. Anyway, this was one I only recently learned about myself and I’m happy to share my newfound love of […]

#Frequencymodulation synthesis (or FM synthesis) is a form of sound synthesis whereby the frequency of a waveform is changed by modulating its frequency with a modulator. The frequency of an oscillator is altered "in accordance with the amplitude of a modulating signal". (Dodge & Jerse 1997, p. 115) FM synthesis can create both harmonic and inharmonic sounds. To synthesize harmonic sounds, the modulating signal must have a harmonic relationship to the original carrier signal. As the amount of frequency modulation increases, the sound grows progressively complex. Through the use of modulators with frequencies that are non-integer multiples of the carrier signal (i.e. inharmonic), inharmonic bell-like and percussive spectra can be created. #FMsynthesis using analog oscillators may result in pitch instability. However, FM synthesis can also be implemented digitally, which is more stable and became standard practice. Digital FM synthesis (implemented as phase modulation) was the basis of several musical instruments beginning as early as 1974. Yamaha built the first prototype digital synthesizer in 1974, based on FM synthesis,[1] before commercially releasing the Yamaha GS-1 in 1980.[2] The Synclavier I, manufactured by New England Digital Corporation beginning in 1978, included a digital FM synthesizer, using an FM synthesis algorithm licensed from Yamaha.[3] Yamaha's groundbreaking DX7 synthesizer, released in 1983, brought FM to the forefront of synthesis in the mid-1980s. FM synthesis had also become the usual setting for games and software until the mid-nineties. Through sound cards like the AdLib and Sound Blaster, IBM PCs popularized Yamaha chips like OPL2 and OPL3. OPNB was used as main basic sound generator board in SNK Neo Geo operated arcades (MVS) and home console (AES). The related OPN2 was used in the Fujitsu FM Towns Marty and Sega Genesis as one of its sound generator chips. Similarly, Sharp X68000 and MSX (Yamaha computer unit) also use #FM -based soundchip, OPM. An analog (or analogue) synthesizer is a synthesizer that uses analog circuits and analog signals to generate sound electronically. The earliest analog synthesizers in the 1920s and 1930s, such as the Trautonium, were built with a variety of vacuum-tube (thermionic valve) and electro-mechanical technologies. After the 1960s, analog synthesizers were built using operational amplifier (op-amp) integrated circuits, and used potentiometers (pots, or variable resistors) to adjust the sound parameters. Analog synthesizers also use low-pass filters and high-pass filters to modify the sound. While 1960s-era analog synthesizers such as the Moog used a number of independent electronic modules connected by patch cables, later analog synthesizers such as the Minimoog integrated them into single units, eliminating patch cords in favour of integrated signal routing systems. #synthesizer weki --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vegansteven/message

An early Super NES title, Lagoon is a Zelda-ish adventure that is today most remembered for its soundtrack. But here’s the thing: That music was initially composed for the game’s first incarnation on the Sharp X68000, which is both maybe the best version of its music and also a version you probably haven’t heard before.

Back in the Commodore 64’s heyday, the lengthy tape loading times meant that computer games enthusiasts needed something to nod their heads and tap their feet to as their screens flickered with raster bars and intro screens. Thus, the ‘loader’ track was born! Join me as I check out some SID chip jams from games old and new (three tracks on the playlist are from games released this decade!) along with some loading tunes from the Sharp X68000, Amiga, and Atari ST.

Patrick and Steve talk about the Sharp X68K, a powerful Japanese home computer that debuted in 1987. It featured audio similar to the Sega Genesis/ Mega Drive, but with some differences of course.

The Sharp X68000 was a real monster of a home computer for its time. It was only available in Japan, but it boasted a wealth of great arcade ports as well as some inventive original titles. This episode features some of my musical picks from Sharp’s 16-bit powerhouse, incorporating both the system’s built-in FM synthesis chip, and the optional MIDI card expansions.
