Basically any chip can do samples. It’s only a matter of what tracker supports them, and Furnace does. Arkos does too, but I haven’t played with it much with regards to samples
The AY-3-8910, AY8930, YM2149, and SAA1099 all support arbitrary samples when a channel is set to produce no tone, envelope, or noise. If you change the volume of that channel fast enough, the contents of the volume register is what comes out. AY8930, AY-3-8910, and YM2149 can do 3 channels of 4bit PCM. SAA1099 can do 6. The TI SN7 chip can be made to do PCM if you set the volume of the channel without playing anything. This nets you four 4bit PCM channels. The AY8930 deliberately retained the old AY-3-8910 quirk of PCM when it could have been removed. By setting the envelope to be on a channel with no note or noise playing, and the envelope being in its upper pitches (which are in the human audio range), the envelope is playable as a triangle or saw, and can be merged with tone, noise, or both. This trick was even done in the 1980s, and the makers of the AY8930 knew people were using envelope on the blanked channel for making saw and triangle, and deliberately left the audiblity in, made it better, made it so each channel has its own envelope, and also left in that blank channel PCM trick because of how it made the envelope triangle and saw possible. They had every right to remove this sample trick, but they instead deliberately left it in while making an accidental feature that relied on it work even better. When Philips was making the SAA1099, which uses linear envelopes, they had every right to patch the blank channel PCM or envelope enabler, but they also didn't, thus allowing people to get similar results on SAA1099 with its linear flavor. Yamaha when integrating their YM2149 into their OPN family chips could have broken this feature, but even the YM2610B and YMF297 didn't. They even preserved the original AY interfacing. The OPNA even exposes the YM2149 output. When Sega cloned the SN7 for use in everything after the SG1000, they could have fixed the blank channel PCM trick, but they didn't. You can still buy original SMS and Genesis consoles made today as long as you buy from Brazil. But yes, the AY PCM trick is a historical accident from 1979 that was deliberately preserved for decades later. The SN7 PCM is also a 1979 historical accident that still exists in its clones found in Sega consoles you can still buy brand new.

Nice AY8930 tune, and nice sampling!😄🤩😎👌
ayo, an ay8930 song with samples?
that bass reminds me of momma zoe and i love it
nice job, you and fezzen both
As an LBP fan, I approve
AAAAAAHAHA I LOVE IT
Yey!
A-Are some of those SAMPLES??? :O
i barely knew it could do full on pwm - but is that a SAMPLE?? holy shit this thing is cool, and this is really catchy
It's some magic with noise masks. You can't control speed nor exact pulse width
Probaly some overclock thing

@@FLDE well it needs some CPU time if you wanna do it with every sound chip

Hold on, AY8930 SAMPLE PLAYBACK!?
Arkos tracker or Furnace?
is this overclocked?
Nope. 60Hz
I think the samples require CPU timing.
