I've been wondering this for a little while now: Has there been a breakdown of the SMPS voices/instruments from S1-S3K into common terms such as wave type, envelope settings, etc rather than just raw data in a file. You know, something that would be easily applicable to any synthesizer in some sort of way, detailing the instrument in common words rather than sorting through a data file. Thanks for any information, and if this hasn't been done, I'm willing to sit down with the YM2612 and Z80 manuals, the SMPS wiki page, and my synth and hammer it out, although it may take some time.
As far as I'm aware, no, it hasn't, it might be useful if we had the instrument information stored in the asm files via dc segments. Now, due to the settings of each sinewave operator being stored in multiple grouped bit sizes, perhaps by using some form of macro we can break up the individual bit groups into seperate parameter components, something like: Code (Text): VoiceSMPS $04,$1F,$20,... Not that I'm a fan of macros or breaking information up, mostly because the people who do it usually leave it messy looking. But I'm sure with careful aligning and some thought, a compromising software alternative to editing SMPS voice instruments, without looking like pure shit, will prove to be useful to some.
S1SMPS2ASM would like a word with you: Code (Text): ; Voice 00 ; $08,$0A,$70,$30,$00,$1F,$1F,$5F,$5F,$12,$0E,$0A,$0A,$00,$04,$04,$03,$2F,$2F,$2F,$2F,$24,$2D,$13,$80 ; # smpsVcAlgorithm $00 smpsVcFeedback $01 ; op1 op2 op3 op4 smpsVcDetune $00, $03, $07, $00 smpsVcCoarseFreq $00, $00, $00, $0A smpsVcRateScale $01, $01, $00, $00 smpsVcAttackRate $1F, $1F, $1F, $1F smpsVcAmpMod $00, $00, $00, $00 smpsVcDecayRate1 $0A, $0A, $0E, $12 smpsVcDecayRate2 $03, $04, $04, $00 smpsVcDecayLevel $02, $02, $02, $02 smpsVcReleaseRate $0F, $0F, $0F, $0F smpsVcTotalLevel $80, $13, $2D, $24 And a few simple setting macros to get it working, the last does all the "work"..

alternatively, if you have fl studio, you can use the vopm vst with the OPM pack to get the settings. Here is the OPM link to every Genesis game imaginable: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ynnygzowyzw/2612org OPMs.zip And VOPM, well can't be stuffed linking it.
