It is tricky to synchronize the sound by SCCI / GIMIC (C86ctl) and emulation (hereinafter abbreviated as EMU).
I don't know what the correct answer is because it depends on the environment, but I will introduce the adjustment procedure in my environment.
-
First, select the device you want to use for audio output from the Output tab.
The recommended pattern is to select sharing or ASIO with WasapiOut.
-
Select a delay time of 50ms or 100ms. Now press OK once to play a song that uses only EMU
Make sure that the sound is not gritty or bubble wrap. (If it does not play well, set the delay time one larger.)
-
From the Sound tab, select the YM2612 SCCI and select the module you want to use.
SCCI only
Check "Send Wait Signal" and "Emulate PCM only" for the check boxes. If you check "Emulate PCM only", only PCM will be emulated. If you do not check it, PCM data will be sent to SCCI, but the sound quality and tempo will not be stable. Performing "Send Wait Signal" seems to stabilize the tempo of SCCI. However, if you check "Double wait", the sound quality of PCM will improve, but the tempo will tend to be disturbed. -
For the delayed performance group, set 0ms for both SCCI / GIMIC and EMU for the time being, and check "Opportunistic mode".
"Opportunistic mode" is, for example, when a large load is applied during a performance and the playback of SCCI / GIMIC and the playback of EMU are significantly different.
It is a function to reduce the deviation by adjusting the playback speed of SCCI / GIMIC. However, the deviation set (intended) in the delayed performance will continue to be maintained.
-
Play a song that uses both SCCI / GIMIC and EMU, and carefully check which one sounds first.
Increase the delayed playing time of SCCI / GIMIC and EMU, whichever is played first, and play the song to check.
If you repeat the procedure of .5 until there is no deviation, the synchronization work is completed. enjoy!
-
About the performance gap between SCCI and GIMIC.
If SCCI is fast, adjust the SCCI delay setting item.
If GIMIC is fast, adjust the GIMIC delay setting item.
If you prepare a MIDI keyboard, you can use it to pronounce from the YM2612 (EMU). This is a function mainly provided for MML driving support.
(Currently, there are some functions that cannot be used while they are being implemented.)
-
On the settings screen, select the MIDI keyboard you want to use.
-
Send (CC: 97) while playing the YM2612 data.
The 1Ch tone of the YM2612 is set for all channels.
-
All you have to do is play.
-
Importing tone data
Click each OPN sound source or OPM sound source, or the tone data section of the keyboard display.
The tone data is copied to the selected channel.
-
Performance mode switching
With MONO mode (playing using a single channel)
POLY mode (playing using multiple channels (up to 6Ch))
It is possible to switch.
MONO mode It is assumed that a short phrase will be played when typing and output as MML. POLY mode Assumed to be used to check chords when typing. -
Channel note log
You can record up to 100 pronunciations for each channel.
-
Channel note log MML conversion function
Click the log field to copy the pronunciation record as MML to the clipboard.
The note length is not output. The corresponding command is c d e f g a b o <>.
Octave information is absolutely specified by the o command only for the first note,
After that, it is expanded by relative specification by command.
-
Save and load tones
It is possible to save or load 256 types of tones in the memory.
The data can be output or read to a file in the specified format.
It can be saved and loaded in the following software formats.
FMP7 MUCOM88 (MUSIC LALF / mucomMD2vgm) NRTDRV MXDRV mml2vgm -

- Paste: Pastes the clipboard tone to the clicked tone.
You can change the text format used by the above functions by clicking the software name in the FORMAT column. You can also copy and paste by key operation. In this case, the selected channel will be the target. The format is not automatically determined when pasting.
-
Click "♪" next to "LOG" to clear the note log of that channel.
-
Click LOG to set MML data to the clipboard.
-
The following is the case of the default setting. (Customizable in the settings. It is also possible not to use it by leaving the setting value blank.)
- CC: 97 (DATA DEC)

Ganzu Work's Diary
- Case1
This is because the zone identifier has been added to the file and an error will occur during startup. The zone identifier is one of the protection functions of the OS and is automatically added to the file downloaded from the net to prevent the execution of unintended files. However, it will interfere with what you intentionally downloaded like this time.
→ Double-click removeZoneIdent.bat that can be created by unzipping it to execute it. This batch file deletes zone identifiers in bulk. By the way, the following message is displayed.
An unknown error has occurred.
Exception Message:
Could not load file or assembly
'file: //.....dll' or one of its dependencies, Operation is not supported.
(Exception from HRESULT: xxxx)
- Case2
It mainly occurs when using a real chip. This is because SCCI is ready to use c86ctl. Since MDPlayer also uses c86ctl, it will be in conflict and will fail to start.
→ Use scciconfig.exe to uncheck "enable" which is a setting item of c86ctl.
- Case3
This is because the version of .NET framework is different.
→ It may be improved by installing the latest .NET framework. By the way, the following message is displayed.
An unknown error has occurred.
Exception Message:
Could not load file or assembly
'netstandard, Version = ..., Culture = ..., PublicKeyToken = ...' or one of its dependencies. The specified file cannot be found.
- CaseX
TBD
The tempo is not stable, the beginning of the song is not played at the start of the performance, and the song is fast forwarded.
- Case1
It mainly occurs when using a real chip. The actual chip takes a little time to process at the start of playing. On the other hand, the process at the start of playing the emulation is completed immediately. This is because the actual chip tries to catch up with the emulation in order to close the time difference.
→ "Option" screen: "Sound" tab: Uncheck the "Opportunism" check box at the bottom left.
- CaseX
TBD
- Case1
It occurs when all the necessary processing is not done within the limited time. Open the "Output" tab from the "Options" screen and switch devices. Which device is better depends on the environment, so we recommend that you try various things. Wasapi and ASIO often get good response. Depending on the device, adjusting the "delay time (rendering buffer)" value may improve the situation.
