2mem * 256w * 16bit = 64 channels max




LOOP MODES:

!!!ONLY simple forward loop!!!111


INTERPOLATION:

!!!ALWAYS!!! between neighboring bytes, even when ADD.int>0



sample:

0
1
2
...
N       <= loop start, LOOPSTART points here
N+1
N+2
...
N+M-1   <= last loop byte (total M bytes in loop)
N+M     <= 1 byte past loop (must be same as [N]), SIZE points here
...loops shorter than 64 bytes must be unrolled to minimum 64 bytes long...


LOOPSTART = N
SIZE      = N+M

more on mixing/interpolating

d, dn -- data, data_next (signed)
fr -- frac for interpolating (unsigned)
vl, vr -- volumes (signed)

rl, rr -- result left, right

i = d*(~fr) + dn*fr:
ordinaty mul: add data or zero, shift
d*(~fr) + dn*fr: if bit[fr] add d else add dn, shift






interrupts:
1. period interrupt, goes 37500 Hz
2. BPM interupt, goes every N periods, where N=2..4097

interrupt register
bit 7: SET/RESET
bit 3: BPM enable
bit 2: BPM pending
bit 1: period enable
bit 0: period pending

period and BPM interrupts coincide in the same cycle. BPM has priority over period

IM0/IM2 vectors:
period -- #FF / RST #38
BPM    -- #F7 / RST #30

pending bit is automatically cleared when the corresponding interrupt is taken (vector read)

BPM period register: X=[11:0]
X=0 => N=2,
X=1 => N=3,
...
X=4095 => N=4097

BPM algorithm:

if( !ov ) cnt <= cnt + 1;
else cnt <= 0;

ov <= (cnt>=X) && !ov;

X can change dynamically, since >= condition is important





STRUCTURE:

 - после контроллера каналов данные через фифо: адрес выборки (для 1ого байта, 22 бита), frac, volume_left, volume_right.
   пишутся в fifo, младшие 3 бита задает контроллер каналов, остальные -- счётчики FIFO
