.SH SYNOPSIS

|
|
[
|
||
|

.B -n

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I Opl3
|
||
|
|
is an emulator of a single Yamaha 262 chip, also known as
|
||
|
|
.SM OPL3.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The emulated chip is programmed by a stream of commands either from
|
||
|
|
.I file
|
||
|
|
or from standard in.
|
||
|
|
It then synthesizes a number of stereo 16 bit little-endian samples for a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz,
|
||
|
|
and writes them to standard out.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Commands are 5 bytes wide, in little-endian byte order:
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.RS
|
||
|
|
.IR register [2]
|
||
|
|
.IR value [1]
|
||
|
|
.IR delay [2]
|
||
|
|
.RE
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Each command specifies a
|
||
|
|
.I value
|
||
|
|
to be written to an
|
||
|
|
.SM OPL3
|
||
|
|
chip
|
||
|
|
.IR register ,
|
||
|
|
modifying its internal state.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I delay
|
||
|
|
field provides timing.
|
||
|
|
It is a multiple of a command period, during which the
|
||
|
|
.SM OPL3
|
||
|
|
chip may be sampled before processing the next command.
|
||
|
|
The period itself is the inverse of the command rate, 44100 Hz by default.
|
||
|
|
This rate can be set using the
|
||
|
|
.B -n
|
||
|
|
parameter.
