  • Found a player that solos the voices correctly (java SIDplay2), so all synchronization and ring modulation effects are visible. I also I wrote a program to draw the wave forms instead of filming my oscilloscope! :)

    Yo, I was not expecting the fucking banger that kicks in at the 6:00 minute mark
    I remember having my C64 and you'd get these loader songs and sometimes you'd just load the game, not press a key when the load was complete and you'd get these legit 10 minute songs generated by this giant beige and steel keyboard and then find another game to play because you only wanted to listen to the loader.
    I remember getting a disk with JUST loader themes on it and a SID player in the late 80s and this was how you could just 'play music' instead of finding the disk with the game with that song you like

      @SpearM3064 8 років тому +8

      The SID chip is capable of combining waveforms by just turning on the appropriate bits. For example, at around 2:30, watch voice 2. He's clearly doing something with sawtooth & triangle waves. As best I can tell, the "pops" (Voice 3, and voice 2 at around 8:00) are caused by combining triangle & square waves, with a very narrow pulse width. The ADSR envelope would be very short (maybe even 0, 0, 0, 0).
      That way, you can "trigger" the note. If Attack and Decay is 0, then it reaches maximum volume in 2 milliseconds, then decays to the "Sustain" volume after another 6 milliseconds. If Sustain is 0, then it'd be almost exactly like turning the volume on and off with POKE 54296,15:POKE 54296,0 (which will also generate a pop), but without interrupting the music.
      That's my educated guess. Of course, I could be wrong. My experiments with the SID chip were never *that* advanced, and unlike Matt Gray, I didn't have Rob Hubbard as a mentor. :)

    • @verbicide4736
