Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

You can control the SID emulation (waveform, a,d,s,r, notes) from BASIC (mode 2) but you can't play back .DMP files from BASIC (yet)Edited by Oldbitcollector 2014-11-11

Yet ? You mean you will write s sidplayer for mmbasic next times ?
Btw: i like the co-work between mmbasic and propeller here.
Is i2c the only bridge between ?

@plasma,

I've actually considered it for mode4. Personally, I'd love to see DMP SIDs playing in the background of our sprites/tiles game environment. We've got to find a spare cog to pull this off and there are some possibilities which we still have to test.

You can currently send SID data/music from the development version of mode2 and mode4, but a "sidplayer" in MMBASIC will require us to open the .DMP file, reading 32 bytes at a time, then send them to the SIDcog software. I imagine I could probably implement that in MODE 2 right now. I'm pretty sure we don't have room for it in "Companion mode". Remember I'm juggling 32k here. ;)

At the moment, the connections between the Micromite and the Propeller are the serial console pins and I2C pins.
