<DIV><FONT size=2>ha ha! yes, sounds like a 76477 to me. the cool thing about it
IS that it sounds like that.. no lush pads, powerful basslines, soaring leads or
subtle pads. what you get is unusual mod routings, a lot of weirdness and a
sid-chip quality sound. i love the thing, i have enough other stuff that does
all the above, but nothing sounds like this silly chip machine..</FONT></DIV>

FAMILY="SANSSERIF">There's been a lot of talk about the SN76477 lately. Too
bad they are imposible to find now. Luckily I bought a chip about 2
years ago. I never got around to building anything with it yet mostly because
of this Darkstar article... <BR><BR><A

sample links are misdirected. To play the sample you have to be creative.
Notice the main url and add "issues/". For example... <BR><BR><A

hate to say it but, does the SN76477/Darkstar really sound this bad? Every one
seems to rave about it, but these samples would lead on to believe otherwise.
I'd hate to spend the time and money building a SN76477 based module and find
it unusable. <BR><BR>Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!</FONT>
