S-DSP in region D4 of the jwdonal schematic

The S-DSP is the digital signal processor. It produces audio for the DAC and is controlled by the S-SMP. It is clocked by X2.

It has 128 registers (DSPRAM) that can be manipulated by the S-SMP, some of which serve no hard-wired purpose and can be used as general-purpose RAM. Registers with a ∴ before their name are written to by the S-DSP itself during active processing. Here are some of 128:

Address	Register
00	VOL (L)
01	VOL (R)
02	P (L)
03	P (H)
04	SRCN
05	ADSR (1)
06	ADSR (2)
07	GAIN
08	∴ENVX
09	∴OUTX

0C	MVOL (L)
1C	MVOL (R)
2C	EVOL (L)
3C	EVOL (R)
4C	KON
5C	KOF
6C	FLG
7C	∴ENDX
0D	EFB
1D	---
2D	PMON
3D	NON
4D	EON
5D	DIR
6D	ESA
7D	EDL
xE	---

Many of the 128 registers appear to not be used by the S-DSP directly, but get copied to internal registers the S-SMP does not have access to. The highest sound frequency that the S-DSP can produce is 16kHz, because of the 32kHz rate that sample-points are output. ^[1]

The arrowhead for pin 47 on the jwdonal schematic seems to be pointing the wrong way.
