apolkosnik[m]So, it looks like the AHI-Noteplayer is looking for a realtime mode, when Use best audio mode is checked. 00:52
minuteshould be a realtime mode though, weird00:53
minuteapolkosnik[m]: do you use the -tw driver version?00:54
apolkosnik[m]yes00:54
apolkosnik[m]it plays much better 00:54
apolkosnik[m]I was trying to set up that octamed sound studio earlier, just couldn't find any octamed modules 00:55

neomanapolkosnik[m], I got it running with AHI Noteplayer but you have to choose the driver manually08:44

minutehere is a testcase for ZZ9000AX, if you have problems with distortion or stuttering (?), you can help me https://www.a1k.org/forum/index.php?threads/83561/page-7#post-158750012:58
minuteit's in german but i think the list is readable as english12:58
minutei notice that at the beginning in the very high freqs, there's some harmonics that might be clipping hmm. when i turn the volume in songplayer down to 8 they're gone13:01
minuteah yeah, i think it happens in the 24->48 upsampling in zz firmware13:05
minutehttp://dump.mntmn.com/sweep48.wav this sounds fine 13:05
minute_Bnu: do you happen to have something better than this? https://source.mnt.re/amiga/zz9000-firmware/-/blob/master/ZZ9000_proto.sdk/ZZ9000OS/src/ax.c#L51313:13

gdonnerminute: Both files played ok here, on both 24 and 48 Hz AHI settings16:17
gdonnerMy setting are as follows:16:17
gdonnerfirmware and drivers v1.1016:17
gdonnerKickstart 47.102, Workbench 47.3 (OS 3.2.1)16:18
gdonner68040 (A3640, rev. 3.2, recapped/fixed polarities)16:18
gdonnerOnly MuFastROM running16:18
gdonner68040.library v46.4, mmu.library 47.216:18
gdonnerThis is on my A300016:19
gdonnerOddly enough, Play16 (from Thomas Wenzel) seems to play the sweep48.wav more accurately than SongPlayer does16:19
gdonnerI'll try all the above on my A4000 and report back16:20
gdonner(this is using the -ahi-tw.lha ZZ9000AX.audio file with a reboot)16:20
gdonnerthere were a few clicks on first play of the sweep24.wav file16:21
gdonnerbut I believe that's normal16:21
apolkosnik[m]is there a way to quiet the spikes on the startup (when the machine is powered up, then couple of spikes while it's booting up)? 16:21
gdonnerno distortion, no stuttering16:22
gdonnerminute: ok, both files played fine on my A4000/060 as well16:42
gdonnerspecs: same as the A3000, except A3660 (50 MHz)16:43
gdonner68060.library v47.1, mmu.library v47.416:43
gdonnerMuFastROM also running16:43
gdonnerhope this helps! and confirmed: Thomas Wenzel's Play16 plays audio better than SongPlayer :)16:44
gdonner(more complete, more detail)16:45
minuteoh, play1616:51
minuteapolkosnik[m]: will be in next fw rev16:51
minutegdonner: thank you very much for testing! so it seems to work as designed then on your machine16:52
minutei already know that the resampling (upsampling to 48khz) in the current firmware is not ideal, as it is missing a low pass filter stage16:52
minuteso if you play 44.1khz stuff and it is resampled in the card, this will sound sub optimal16:53
gdonnersure--happy to help!16:55
gdonnerBTW, thanks for all your work on this (and Thomas W. too)16:56
apolkosnik[m]awesome, thank you! 16:56
apolkosnik[m]Hippo is doing much better once I bumped Priority in PS3M settings to +116:58
minuteaha?16:59
minutewhat exactly is much better? no more stuttering? (did you have stuttering before)?16:59
minutebtw i had to set the AHI volume in hippo to 50016:59
minuteinstead of 100016:59
minuteor it would be distorted16:59

_Bnuminute: My resampling is probably worse, quality-wise.19:13
minute_Bnu: oh, ok?19:13
_Bnuhttps://github.com/captain-amygdala/pistorm/blob/main/platforms/amiga/ahi/pi_ahi.c#L282-L30519:14
_BnuI thought it sounded fine, but others told me it sounded bad, so I ignored it forever...!19:15
_BnuI was just happy it worked and didn't desynch to hell and beyond, lolb.19:15
minute_Bnu: looks very similar to mine19:19
minute_Bnu: a physicist told me that it might just be missing a low pass filter19:19
_BnuMy idea on how to make it "better" was to render it as a texture, using bilinear filtering or something.19:19
_BnuAbuse the Pi GPU to smooth out the waves, 16-bit luma.19:19
minutefunky19:20
_BnuI figure you could probably even do some sort of mixing that way, with some alpha channel blender setting.19:23
minuteyep19:25
Jopephew, ups didn't tell me that the ax arrived on the 12th :-P20:23
Jopeby chance I checked the tracking today and it would have gone back tomorrow20:24
Jopedelivering parcels: difficult20:24
minuteoh :D20:27
