Hello,
I would like to capture the audio of all 5 scc and 3 psg channels individualy.
Is there a possibility that I play a konami scc game, and that I capture only once,
and that I get 8 audio files (1 per channel)???

It was requested before, FM-Pac included, afaik it's still not possible. But since I'm also waiting on such a function, feel free to spam them about it.  |

The first emulator that offers to automatically diskwrite audio into seperate files (a file for each channel) wins a lollypop!

in any case, @ openmsx they're also trying -at least, I got that impression from quibii- .. are you up for the race?  |

As you said, this has been requested for a while, for both emus. How would you prefer to see it work. One way would be to save each individual channel as a separate wav file. Then you could assemble them in Cubase or whatever program you are using to do your composing. There shouldn't be any problems with timing I think. And its quite easy to implement. My initial thought is to do it similar to how its done now in blueMSX, but instead of saving the mix to the file GAME_001.wav it would generate many files, e.g. GAME_001_PSG1_CH1.wav, GAME_001_PSG1_CH2.wav or something similar. A naming similar to this would work for e.g. multiple SCC's.

Exactly. The only thing to keep in mind: easy start/stop buttons from the GUI, and each time you start, the "title_xxx" counter is increased, which is handy if you are going to record all tracks from a bgm player. Otherwise you'd get an enormously big file which you have to manually cut in songs (and multiple times if you're diskwriting individual tracks!). Perhaps a 'next' button would also come in handy, this automatically stops, inc counter, start.
One other handy gimmick could be to also output one extra track containing small pulses generated each INT. I might come in handy as reference for some reason. So in short: if the freq is 50hz, then you get an impulse train at 50hz. It looks like: |_____|_____|_____|_____|____ etc.

Yes a 50/60Hz pulse sounds like a good thing to add too. I would make this optional (in blue with a check box or something) so it could be used with regular audio captures as well (it would be a separate wav file of course)

for me the most important is that you can manualy select the channels you want to output to .wav
For instance, I want 4 .wav files:
fmpac channel 1,2 + 4 and psg channel 2.
or only the 3 psg channels
this would be so handy for (re)mixing songs !!!
