SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis DAC Channel Strip (Max for Live Device)


This is a channel strip for controlling the parameters of a SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis digital to analogue converter channel. This gives you control over:
  • DAC on / off
  • Custom waveform on / off
  • Oversample
  • Sampling rate
  • Custom waveform byte 1 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 2 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 3 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 4 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 5 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 6 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 7 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 8 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 9 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 10 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 11 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 12 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 13 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
  • Custom waveform byte 14 of 14 as part of a handy multislider object
In future iterations of this plug in, I would like to add presets of the waveform data.

All of the above parameters can of course be edited via MIDI CC control envelopes / controllers - but having a handy little plugin like this might make it easier to explore different sounds for some people.

This will released at the same time as the SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis MIDI Interface.

Any chance of these becoming actual max objects, so non m4l users can use the free runtime?

Peter, there is a 100% chance of this happening. Also: http://little-scale.blogspot.com/2008/08/tuning-sega-genesis-and-genm-sound.html
