about
Track written in: Custom environment
Chip found in: Atari 2600, Atari 7800
Other names for chip: CTIA, GTIA, CO10444
Channels: 2 with selectable type for each (square/distortion/whitenoise)
4-bit volume, 5-bit pitch
Quirks: Atari only has 128 bytes of RAM, driving this chip has to suck.
Designed by Jay Miner, Atari's "Television Interface Adapter" chip doesn't just handle sound, it's also the video display for the Atari 2600, and it does joystick/paddle handling as well. There are 16 different "instruments" which are all permutations of squarewaves and whitenoise. Because of the way the chip calculates frequency, and because the bit depth of the frequency is so low, basically every "note" fails to line up with an actual piano note.

Street Fighter X Mega Man OST
by A_RivalA perfect blend of Street Fighter and Mega Man, done by a buddy of mine that knows both of them intimately. A must-listen for parody/chiptune heads.
