The channels keep independent frequency, duty position, length, envelope, logical DAC gate, and activity state.

## Mixing and timing ownership
|

|

Each routed Direct Sound sample contributes `sample * 2` at 50% volume or `sample * 4` at 100% volume.
|
||||
Pulse channel 1 contributes a centered signed amplitude, `+volume` or `-volume`, while active.
|
||||
`SOUNDCNT_L` routes it independently left/right and multiplies each side by its volume field plus one.
|
||||
`SOUNDCNT_H` then applies the PSG ratio: 25%, 50%, or 100%, using an arithmetic right shift.
|
||||
At full volume, channel 1 therefore spans `-120..120` before mixing with Direct Sound.
|
||||
Each active pulse contributes a centered signed amplitude, `+volume` or `-volume`.
|
||||
`SOUNDCNT_L` routes channel 1 through bits 8/12 and channel 2 through bits 9/13, for right/left respectively.
|
||||
The mixer sums routed PSG amplitudes on each side, then multiplies by that side's volume field plus one.
|
||||
`SOUNDCNT_H` applies the PSG ratio: 25%, 50%, or 100%, using one arithmetic right shift after summation.
|
||||
Rounding each pulse separately would produce different low-volume levels and is not used.
|
||||
At full volume, each pulse spans `-120..120` before mixing with Direct Sound.
|
||||
This centered mixer follows GBATEK's signed range and the NanoBoyAdvance comparison; exact analog offset is not modeled.
|
||||
The mixer adds all supported channels and the ten-bit bias, clips each side to `0..1023`, and subtracts 512.
|
||||
`StereoLevel` therefore contains signed levels in `-512..511`. Master disable returns zero.
