SPCs that make use of the noise generator

Post by jwdonal »

This is continuing a discussion from a previous topic but thought it made sense to make a new topic.

I've finally finished implementing my FPGA SPC Player. The last piece I just added was the noise generator. Following are some sample tracks that make use of the noise generator and what they sound both with and without the noise generator block.

The high-pitch buzzing noise that you hear in some of the without-noise tracks is junk BRR data (that would normally be getting replaced with the noise sample) getting passed through to the output.

Thanks to KungFuFurby for the Air Cavalry and Equinox track suggestions!

Wait.... You mean some of the ocean-wave sounds in Chrono Trigger are made WITHOUT the noise generator?
