  • Foundations for Music-Based Games
    Die approbierte Originalversion dieser Diplom-/Masterarbeit ist an der Hauptbibliothek der Technischen Universität Wien aufgestellt (http://www.ub.tuwien.ac.at). The approved original version of this diploma or master thesis is available at the main library of the Vienna University of Technology (http://www.ub.tuwien.ac.at/englweb/). MASTERARBEIT Foundations for Music-Based Games Ausgeführt am Institut für Gestaltungs- und Wirkungsforschung der Technischen Universität Wien unter der Anleitung von Ao.Univ.Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Peter Purgathofer und Univ.Ass. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Martin Pichlmair durch Marc-Oliver Marschner Arndtstrasse 60/5a, A-1120 WIEN 01.02.2008 Abstract The goal of this document is to establish a foundation for the creation of music-based computer and video games. The first part is intended to give an overview of sound in video and computer games. It starts with a summary of the history of game sound, beginning with the arguably first documented game, Tennis for Two, and leading up to current developments in the field. Next I present a short introduction to audio, including descriptions of the basic properties of sound waves, as well as of the special characteristics of digital audio. I continue with a presentation of the possibilities of storing digital audio and a summary of the methods used to play back sound with an emphasis on the recreation of realistic environments and the positioning of sound sources in three dimensional space. The chapter is concluded with an overview of possible categorizations of game audio including a method to differentiate between music-based games.

  • The Ins and Outs of PC Audio Jack Colors
    The Ins and Outs of PC Audio Jack Colors In many cards, the microphone connector will be pink, the line out or headphone will be lime green, and the stereo line in will be light blue. Additional jacks may be present on newer soundcards for rear and mid surround speakers. There is a widely accepted color standard for computer sound card input and output jacks, but connector colors may vary between different brands. If you think you have a nonstandard card, consult your soundcard's manual or the manufacturer's web site before making any connections. Sound card color code: Color Connector Lime Green Line-Out, Front Speakers, Headphones Pink Microphone Light Blue Stereo Line In Orange Subwoofer and Center out Black Rear Surround Speakers for 5.1 and 7.1 systems Gray Middle Surround Speakers for 7.1 systems Gold Midi / Game port (Joystick) Note: The number of jack connectors you'll find on your soundcard will depend on how many audio channels it has: • Stereo cards with just two audio channels will have only the green (output), blue (input) and pink (microphone) jacks. • A few sound cards with 8 (7.1) audio channels do not provide the gray (Middle Surround Speakers) connector. If your computer is equipped with this type of card and you want to use all the 8 channels you will need to connect your motherboard to a 7.1 home theater system using the SPDIF digital connector. • Some motherboards with 4 or 6 channels don't have the black (Rear Surround) and orange (Subwoofer and Center) jacks.

  • Chiptune Synthesis
    - UFEE63-30-3 - A modern implementation of chiptune synthesis by Philip Phelps (#03974520) Summary A chiptune can be broadly categorised as a piece of music produced by sound chips in home computer/ games systems popular in the 1980s into the 1990s. The synthesis techniques often employed in chiptunes involve the careful control of the hardware features available in the sound chips. Such chips generally featured a limited number of simple oscillators with simple waveforms such as square, triangle, pseudorandom noise, and so on. In order to create more interesting sounds, chiptune composers rely on software synthesis structures that are used to configure the sound chip to alternate between waveforms, and to alter the pitch of the oscillators. MaxMSP is a graphical programming environment developed by Cycling’74. This report documents the reasons behind the decision to choose MaxMSP for the design and implementation of a software synthesiser for the creation of chiptunes. The report presents the detailed research into the sound hardware, and software used for composing chiptunes, exposing the differences in user interface design between modern composition software tools such as MIDI sequencers and historic composition tools such as trackers. Several pieces of historic software are examined; with elements of each user interface being assessed for inclusion in a modern software synthesiser user interface. The report also explains in detail the internal hardware structure of several popular sound chips (such as the General Instruments AY-3-8910) and examines several examples of software structures used to control the hardware synthesis structures inside the chips. The report documents the design of numerous software modules (programmed in the MaxMSP environment) and explains how each module can be combined to form the software synthesiser.
