Description
The XO Chip specification states that a new 16-byte pattern buffer should be generated to hold digital samples for playback. This internal buffer is set using the audio
operation with opcode F002
. The function reads 16 bytes starting from memory address pointed to by the index
register into the 16-byte internal pattern buffer. When the sound timer is non-zero, the 16-byte pattern buffer is played back at a frequency that depends on the pitch register. The playback frequency of the sample is determined by the following equation:
4000 * 2^((pitch - 64) / 48)
The audio pattern is played at the specified frequency (in Hz) until the sound timer reaches (or is set to) 0. The pattern remains in the internal pattern buffer until a subsequent audio
operation replaces the pattern in the buffer. The pattern buffer is initialized to be all zeros.
