AY is the nickname of the AY-3-8910 programmable sound generator family.

The Amstrad CPC sound processor is more exactly the AY-3-8912.

This chip was very popular and was used in a lot of machines.


[[MSX]], [[ZX Spectrum]], [[Atari]]... all used Chips from this family (sometimes the YM variant instead of AY...)

As a result it is still quite popular in the actual Chip Tuning movement as a vintage sound processor.

Many Chip Tuning sites include AY files and scene.

Halas, the [[ZX Spectrum]] is more often used as reference. But a huge library is available

==Amstrad Plus specificity==

The Amstrad Plus range include DMA sound channels.
This offer extra capabilities, and extra bugs too...
