Sound Mixer 
The blueMSX mixer gives you full power on the
sound produced by the emulator. It allows
visualisation in real time of the using of the
sound chips and can be used even when no emulated
machine is running.
You can access to the mixer by using the menu
Tools or the specific shortcut (Left Ctrl
+ Left Alt + M by default)
 |
|
You can set the volume
and panoration of each individual sound
chip : PSG, SCC, MSX-MUSIC, MSX-AUDIO, MOONSOUND, SFG, PCM, KEYCLICK, Input/Output (FDC-AUDIO
or the noises produced by the Floppy
Drive Controller), MIDI.
By clicking on the led after the name of
a sound chip, you can choose to hear or
not the sounds and musics of this sound
chip. It means that you select or de-select
this sound chip. See remark below. |

In the master section,
there are 3 buttons :
- the small button allows to choose
between MONO and STEREO
- the big button is the master volume
control
- the led button allows to MUTE all
sounds |

Click on this button
to switch between normal mode and compact
mode of the mixer.
Here's the aspect of the mixer in compact
mode :

These buttons allow to
minimize or to close the mixer window. |
Remark : the Mixer allows to
hear only the soundchips that interest you, but
it doesn't work in all cases : for example, if a
demo detects Moonsound, it will use Moonsound in
stead of MSX-AUDIO and/or MSX-MUSIC. If you
simply de-select Moonsound in the mixer, you'll
hear nothing ...
The solution is generally to de-select the boxes
in the Options/Sound
menu. It will work in most cases.
This trick doesn't work with games like Aleste
because they detect the presence of the MSX-MUSIC
chip and will therefore use MSX-MUSIC in stead of
PSG.
To get only the PSG sounds in games like Aleste,
the solution is to use the generic MSX2 Only PSG
machine. You can also use the MSX2 C-BIOS machine,
but it accepts only rom games.
You can view on this
page the list of the rom games with automatic
choice between PSG and MSX-MUSIC.
