Discussion

•  Comment Please give an example of what the value should be. For example, do I get correctly that Quantum (Q7268973) → POKEY (Q753671) ? Jean-Fred (talk) 17:07, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

• Yep, most of the early Atari machines (arcades and home consoles) used the POKEY audio chipset. Please be aware the older pinballs like Gottlieb's "Central Park" used "bells" as their "audio system", therefore, this property is not limited to electronics. --Amitie 10g (talk) 15:53, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

  Ok, thanks for the explanation. Some additional questions:

  • Would you mind giving additional/different examples with different values?
  • I see in es:Quantum_(videojuego) that the value is “POKEYx2” ; how would should we model this « x2 »?
  • I see that Star Wars (Q54317) has: « 4x Atari POKEY (música y efectos sonoros), Texas Instruments TMS5220 (síntesis de voz) ». How should we model that?
  • Digging around on en.wp for more examples: 3-D Thunder Ceptor II (Q17042246) has « 1x Yamaha YM2151 @ 3.57958 MHz, 1x Namco CUS30 @ 96 kHz, 1x DAC » − how should we model that?

  Sorry for asking all these questions − I’m not that knowledgeable about arcade game machines/systems and I’m trying to understand the use case better :)

Ok, been thinking about the Star Wars (Q54317) use case ; would that work?

P<audio system>	POKEY edit quantity 4 object of statement has role music object of statement has role sound effect 0 references add reference TMS5220 edit quantity 1 object of statement has role speech synthesis 0 references add reference
		add value

(Not sure whether object of statement has role (P3831) is best here, or whether has use (P366) would be better…)

Hope that helps :) Jean-Fred (talk) 09:19, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

• Whoah, 64th Street: A Detective Story has for value 1 sound CPU & 2 sound chips? Sure is a complicated field :-) Jean-Fred (talk) 09:23, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

• The "Sound system" property can have more than 1 value, and the template will reflect that correctly. However, I'm finding ways to add a multiplier value if more than a one unit of a specific chip (eg. POKEY x2) has, in the template (reflecting the "number" parameter given above. --Amitie 10g (talk) 12:17, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
