DAC Sample and Expanded Ch. 3 Support?

[Esmerea]

Hello! I just stumbled into this and it looks very promising for some of the music work I'd like to do.

Are there any plans for this software to support sample playback on FM channel 6 or the extended channel modes on 3?

Thank you!

I am planning on implementing those, eventually! I haven't had a lot of time recently, but might have more time in the coming weeks. The 'extended ch 3 support' would most likely be the simpler feature to implement at this time (although no doubt would introduce some complexity to the codebase, so I would need to spend some time ensuring its clean)

DAC sample support would likely require some Z80 code, although a first attempt might be to lean on SGDK's PCM support as much as possible.

A question hanging over both of these features is how much compatibility with GenMDM's interface I would be considering. Generally, since that is the more popular solution, I try to keep this interface inline with it as much as possible, unless I have good reason to deviate.

Out of curiosity, does the music work you're looking to do require since GenMDM compatibility (for either Ch3 "special mode" or DAC)?

@rhargreaves This is one of the best projects I've seen related to SEGA. I hope you won't abandon it or someone will support and develop it. I don't really understand such complex programming, otherwise I would have helped with this)
