Problems With Sound Playback Control; Recommended Third Party Software/Hardware Tools For Sound/Music; Development - Sega SATURN Device Manual Supplement

15. Problems with Sound Playback Control

· The Version 1.00 specification which required that the MIDI channels of sequences
that could be simultaneously played to be set to different channels has been
changed to a method that plays the sequences (songs, SE) by means of playback
control numbers. Refer to the SATURN Sound Driver System Interface manual for
details.
· Make sure that the tempo of the sequence does not exceed the range of 40 to
300 quarter notes.
16. Recommended Third Party Software/Hardware Tools for
Sound/Music Development
· Contact the following companies for MIDI sequencers:
Performer from Mark of the Unicorn
Vision from Opcode Systems

* Basically, any sequencer that runs on either the NEC 9801 or the IBM PC compatible may also be
used as long as it can output standard Type 1 MIDI format files.
· For advanced PCM waveform editing (requires the Audio Media II or other
sound card), contact these companies:
Alchemy from Passport Design
Sound Designer II from DigiDesign
· CD players with optical output and DAT recorders.
