Engine resolutions
------------------
Dexed can be configured to try to use the original math limitation of a DX synthesizer. And when I say
math limitation, I'm not only talking about the DAC, it is also about the sin LUT lookup table, multiply
resolution and original DX sampling rate. This is a work in progress and this might take time to be able
to perfect.
If you look at the original DX7 and implementation a DX engine with 10-bit sin lookup and 12 mul possibility,
you get something "not quite there". Yamaha did a lot of hacks to be able to squeeze this into something
musical and expressive. It is those 'hacks' that we need to recreate to be able to find that original
DX sound.
Dexed comes with 3 engine resolution.
* Modern : this is the original 24-bit music-synthesizer-for-android implementation.
* Mark I : this is a pale implementation of the limitation of a Yamaha DX7 Mark I with the 12-bit (with the 4-bit attenuator hack) DAC.
* OPL Series : this is a experimental implementation of Yamaha 4-ops that used the YM2151 chip. These chips were supposed to be even more limited to the DX7 but gave a very interesting distinctive sound.
