Oversample Parameter Added to Sega Mega Drive MIDI

I've added another sample playback parameter to the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis MIDI Interface - an 'oversample' parameter. Basically, this is whereby the sample rate of a given audio sample (when channel 6 is in DAC mode) is kept constant, but a determined number of samples (0, 1, 2 or 3) are skipped during playback. The aim here is to give more control over the DAC channel, thereby being able to get a wider range of sounds out of it. Combining the oversample parameter with the playback rate parameter can produce some interesting results.

Fantastic.

I'm shaking in my pants for this device to come to market.
