Sequenced sound drivers

This gist is a test for now. I plan on adding all documentation and notes I have for all sound drivers here when I can.

What is a sequenced sound driver?

A sequenced sound driver is a driver/sound engine that stores music/sound sequences as a series of commands.

These drivers are mainly used to save space and provide the ability to switch instruments in real time without having to store large streams of data for the said instrument changes.

Sounds are generally stored separately from the sequence data, but some formats act as containers for both the sequences and sounds.

What drivers are to be expected here when they get added?

  • The LeapFrog sequencer (LeapPad, various LeapFrog toys, Leapster)
  • The MusyX sequencer (GBA)
  • The Paragon 5/GBASS tracker (GBA)
  • The SunPlus SunMidiar sequencer (Toys, V.Smile, Sports Vii, ClickStart: My First Computer)
  • The various formats used on the Plug it in and Play TV Games series of Plug 'N Plays from Jakks Pacific
