11. Precautions for the DSP Linker Version 1.11
· Modulation system effects cannot be used in version ES1 of the SCSP chip. It is
recommended that they be used in versions ES2 and ES3.
· All modulation voices must be keyed on as monophonic sounds (due to a bug in
Version 1.27 of the sound driver, use of the Tone Editor parameter MONO mode
should be avoided).
· Ring Buffer in the Option Menu
The Ring Buffer menu item is used to set the size of the ring buffer (memory for
delay) used in the algorithms that are being edited. The ring buffer is located in
the 4 MB sound DRAM. If the buffer size is too small, an error will occur when
linking is executed. Even if the link is successful, it is recommended that the data
size be set to the required minimum size by referring to the information
contained in the link result dialog box.
· Since a slight noise glitch will result during an effect change due to the SCSP's
chip design, the effect return level can be lowered through a mixer change com-
mand if the noise is annoying.
12. Precautions for the Sound Simulator
· Place SYSTBL.TSK and SDDRV.TSK in the same folder as SndSimulator. Also, do
not change the names of these files.
