Ik weet nog goed hoe ik altijd moest toegeven dat de Commodore 64 beter klonk dan mijn msx. In mijn jeugd begonnen met een Texas Instrument ti-99/4A met extended basic module. Daarna Msx. Daarna Commodore 64 en 128. Later de Amiga. Toen de overstap naar pc gemaakt. En de laatste overstap was naar Apple wat de beste overstap bleek te zijn. Imac en Macbook pro en Xbox X voor het gamen. Mooi om te zien wat alle ontwikkelingen in die 40 jaar hebben gebracht. Maar zeker ook gaaf om weer terug te horen wat er toen al met de C64 mogelijk was👍
Rolf, it's hard for me to explain how much I appreciate your work on those videos. Not only you bring me back memories from my childhood, but you also show us how the sid worked and the various types of wave shape that composers used in those tunes. Thank you.
I remember when this came out, it was one of the demos that really made people rethink computer music, and broke down the notion that it was just beeps and boops. Also, I'm hearing a bit of Thing on a Spring towards the end there.
the part at 9:11 and on sounds incredible (was he going for a steel guitar sound by varying the delay on the pitch changes between the two voices? How was this done back then?) It's the catchiest part of the whole song to me.
Apart from thank you so much for uploading this all time favourite, I have a question: how did you avoid that rolling shutter effect on the oscilloscope, if you know what mean?
On oscilloscopes there's a function called "trigger", which makes the instrument start plotting the waveform only by the point where it reaches a certain voltage threshold, with the choose of doing it on the rising or the falling edge of the waveform. In this way the signal's plot is always clear and steady regardless of its frequency. The person who developed SidWiz implemented a similar function in the program, so each one of the video's frames will have the waveform plot starting from its rising or falling edge.

It's beeping and booping with style
That's a pretty mean fiddle!

Ah, fond memories of my old friend SID - I used to listen to these for hours and hours ... Thanks for posting!

The first few of these catchy little tunes, and escpecially the first tune, are very reminiscent of his "Action Biker" theme.
ah the old happy days of listening to this very beautiful sid music😀
the part at 9:11 and on sounds incredible (was he going for a steel guitar sound by varying the delay on the pitch changes between the two voices? How was this done back then?) It's the catchiest part of the whole song to me.
thehaircrow Accidental 911
Or maybe he predicted 911
always loved that sound. and it's two square waves with different pwms only. amazing.
Middle voice is syncroed by top voice.
C64 my first computer in 1984!
I would prolly have been humoungus in 1964

When I heart these sounds in the early 80th, I fell from my chair... Nice times...
Feeling like being in school again. Awesome.
1:45 Sounds like Suona.
Why does this sound like a country song?
CCF_100 I agree
Me too
Great video, thanks for posting
thanks!
8:24. it's amazing how organic is that sound with that two pulse wave modulation combo in this song. always loved this tune, thanks for uploading.
This is so lit!
no sound
