- Why on earth would I need a "generator" for these waves? Do you mean like
- in the C64 SID chip? Nah. The "generator" in this case is my hand drawing
- the waveform, or if want to look at it more hardware-wise, the DMA part
- of the custom chips that reads these bytes from memory.

- Waveforms.

- Yes, sure. Did I ever use the term "generator"?

- As I already explained in a different posting, it's an issue of
- the definition of terms, and this is obviously varying among people.
- Absolutely no reason to get furious, there are better reasons.
- Now calm down, try to understand the way I and obviously a big number
- of other people see it. I won't even try to convince you of my way!!!
- But don't assume that you have the only "right" opinion.
-
- > Sheesh, the stupidity of some people.
-
- Please!
-
- Apologies to other people who already got embarrassed about this thread.
- I only found it sooo astonishing how queer definitions are sometimes
- vivid in the scene.
