Talk:General Instrument AY-3-8910

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is a same article in AY-3-8910. I mark it for deletion.--80.226.155.46 18:09, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AY riders

Why does no mention exist on this page of groups who have made music and even albums with the AY chip? e.g. the (AY Riders) have actually held a successful concert (in Poland). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Phase Theory (talk • contribs) 2006-04-30 00:41 (UTC).

Presumably because it's an article about the chip, not the people who use it or the music made with it. Or simply because nobody has cared enough to add it. There's already links to examples of music, a link to them or a "See also" entry wouldn't be out of place, I suppose, so go ahead. Or better yet, link to Chiptune which is concerned with the music (and not the hardware) and has tons of composer links.

== Creative uses == the music made with it? Anyway, I will go ahead, and I will link to Chiptune as well. CMIIW 19:16, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I'd say "creative uses" rather means "creative tricks and hacks", doing things that were perhaps never intended by its designers, and not "people being creative making music".

Saying that some people made music with it is a bit of a "well, duh" statement, given that it was actually made to do just that.  :-) (and especially when the section starts with "some people made really advanced music, on the ST and the Amstrad CPC")

A small music links section perhaps? For having examples of music, we could do worse than pointing people to, say, AY Riders and YM Rockerz. I'll make the changes if you don't mind.

The ZX Spectrum+ didn't have the sound chip but the 128, the +2 and the +3 did.

[edit] The 8910 doesn't have an ADSR Envelope

The article links to the ADSR Envelope article, and suggests that the 8910 chip has an ADSR Envelope. While it does have some crude form of envelope generation, it is not an ADSR Envelope.
