AUDIO
Sound on the ORIC is produced by the AY-3-8912. A dedicated 3 Channel programmable Sound Generator (PSG).
In its BASIC configuration, it can deliver 3 channels (Square wave only) with a single envelope to control one or multiple channels. Alternatively, the volume can be set to any one of 16 levels.
ORIC BASIC supports sound through the use of 7 commands. PLAY sets up the envelope for control over one or multiple channels. MUSIC allows the setting of Notes for individual channels whilst SOUND will set the pitch of a channel rather than the note. Both latter commands can also specify Volume or control under an Envelope.
Finally, there are four in built Sound effects. ZAP, SHOOT, EXPLODE and PING.
