Apple mac se sound chip

[Jamesapp]

Hello

 

i recently got into 8 bit music. 
 

i have a ti 99/4a im fooling around with in basic. 
 

before this i did some stuff music wise with my mac se? I think i have an mac se/30 too. 
 

anyway i had an ms-dos emulator i used called soft pc. I dont know if anyone had this or knows of it but i loved it. I installed in mac os 7.5.5 i think and used ms-dos

 

anyway from memory that is what i used to write my early computer music

 

ive recently been reading about programmable sound chips in general

 

i cant find any info on the mac se other than i think they call the chip acs on wikipedia

 

but does anyone know anything about this sound chip?

 

i thought i read it has 4 voices possible a noise register and some kind of sound in

 

from what i read it wasnt used as i want to use it for 8 bit music but dont know

 
im going on memory but i accessed in an ms-dos emulator running on the se. Im thinking this limited me by the programming language i was using forget but think gw-basic. 
 

but im trying to find out more about the chip. Any info or anyone with any thoughts would be helpful

I don't think any Macintoshes had special sound hardware other than just enough to drive the speaker (because of Apple Corps Ltd. suing them over the DOC chip on the IIgs).

thanks for the reply;
 

Ive read the acs chip has 4 voices pwm and stereo capabilities

 

Im into 8 bit music 

 

just trying to learn about the chip 

 

anyone with any info

 

or some practical ideas on how to orogram the programmable sound generator chip would be appreciated

It's basically just a generic ADC. It converts a digital input to an analog output using pulsed coding.  Nothing fancy at all, no tone synthesis, or anything. MIDI on the mac was garbage as a result. All of it really had to be done by the external modules connected.

Hello

 

you know i might be confused. I do get the models mixed up. It actually maybe the se/30 im referring to? 
 

i know i had an emulator running. Ms dos and got one tone generator to work
