Some of the best 8-bit stuff in a very long time. Maybe you must have had a C64 in your bedroom as a teenager to fully appreciate the greatness of this...
@@itdepends604 You can hear this song in stereo, if you have on the C64 a special setup with a 2nd SIDchip. Or for example with the VICE Emulator / Acid64 player and so on. I make my recordings with JSIDPLAY2 because i must record every voice seperatly for the oscilloscope view Videos

@@chris-do Thanks for putting in the effort ;-). Have to figure out how to play these types of songs on real hardware one day (I do have a dual SID setup 6581R3 / 8580R5)
@@allan.n.7227Oh, YOU are the lucky guy with a real stereo SID setup :-) I own only 2 mono C128D but who knows - if i it will be possible, so i will upgrade to a second sid too. It seems not to be perfect, that you have the choice of different start adresses for this kind of sidmusic.
@@chris-do You can mix the setup in several ways. I have used "dual mono" so far which gives you something special - sometimes it sounds very good. Try this ua-cam.com/video/p8jtf14VUGg/v-deo.html and this ua-cam.com/video/MfxpUHkbdtA/v-deo.htmlstart=1282
Hi, this song was written with a tracker like most SIDs. In this case with the Goattracker and on a modern computer. But there are plenty of trackers you can use that will work on original C64 hardware. This track uses the power of 2 SID chips to create a stereo soundtrack. For some time now it has been possible to upgrade the real c64 hardware with more than one SID chip
Thank you for the comment ! From my side you can do what you want - no problem.. But if you wanna be safe to use the music so better ask PCH ! ua-cam.com/channels/juE2osjTANutmtxBz5GAUA.htmlfeatured
I've been playing with MOS 6581 SID chips recently. The signals are nowhere near as clean as these waves. This is just a simulation of a SID chip. Anyone remember playing with a C64 and heard the buzzing sound that used to come out of your television? I used to think it was TV interference from the picture. Its not, its the SID chip generating spurious background noise.
Hello, I never had noticeable background noise on my C128 with the 6581 SID chip (still works after 33 years). The 2 video signals were connected to my 1901 monitor, and the audio signal was connected to my stereo amplifier using 2 3-way speakers. Sometimes I only had sound interference when the computer was connected to a television with the antenna cable. I think the emulation isn´t that bad, and i can´t do the visuals with real hardware so easy. all three oscillators are connected on the output pin from the SID chip together, so i can´t record every voice seperate. here is the soundrecording from real hardware: ua-cam.com/video/oEK3VJUp_P0/v-deo.html
@@chris-do Thanks for ending the original. That video was made using the 8580 chip which was used on the C128. They improved the sound quality over the scratchy 6581. I was not criticising your video btw. I love looking at the waveforms.
@@simonmartin4599 Thanks for the comment, no problem! Yes you are right! This video was made with 8580 . The 8580 doesn't sound as "dirty" as the 6581 variants because the filter in the 8580 is linear. Every 6581 model has its own life :-) Every 6581 sounds a little different. But i want to say that my C128D (German model from 1987 with plastic case, have built-in the older 6581 SID! ). You can see the difference on my following video in which I used both sid- emulations for the recording ( ua-cam.com/video/j6UmITUilPo/v-deo.html ) If you wish, i can to this SID tune here with the 6581 too - let me know.
@@chris-do I'm building a polyphonic synth out of mulitple 6581 chips (four now but will increase it to six). I have a Raspberry Pi controlling them and I've hooked it up to a Midi keyboard. Its a problem that each filter acts differntly. You don't know which chip the synthesiser will choose for each note so each time you press a note it sounds slightly different. The other problem is that the envolope generators never completely go too slince so you have to manually swich off the oscillator by setting the frequency to zero after a while. I plan to make a youtube video about it when it is fully completed. I'll subscribe to your channel so I can send you a link when its done. Thanks for all the videos.

Thanks a lot ! :)
if this was game Music in the 80s..... It would have burned into peoples Minds... like so many other good tracks...
Hi Marcus, yes sure - I think so too !
many tracks burned into people's mind anyway! i do agree, very interesting melody / chord progressions here.
This is the best SID, 8 bit AND Chiptune song I've heard!
This song is a real icing on the cake
Thank you do much !!!!! :)
The breakdown @1:36 = Metal-like awsomeness!
The game this tune has´nt been made for was AWESOME! 😎👍
The next stage of the SID
chip!
Thank you !! :)
Many songs have only slight differences on left and right sound but this this is pretty cool
oh yes, it is very well done !
@@chris-do are there 2 sids being used here.

Fantastic! Haven't heard such a great new song for the sid chip in a decade!
Great visualization, great track! This song is a complete trip, wow...
Very nice, I always wondered how good a dual SID chip setup would sound.
This is AWESOME..lol my sub-woofer bounced around with the music
nice one :-).. Stereo SID's are SUPER times 2!
I hoped that you will like it ! :-) But it needs more time to do a dual sid video

Imagine a C64 released with stereo sids
You mean

Well, they did say released.
EAT THIS ATARI. MUHAHAHAR.
:D :D :D Richtig !

Goes hard
cool

I almost wanted to skip this video, because ... the start was kinda mwaahh ... dull, but I'm glad I didn't.
there's no hurry nowadays either :)
This is awesome. Was this programmed in 6502 or is there an application you can use to create SID tunes?

Hi, I make music in GoatTracker on PC or in TFX Editor on Commodore 64 directly :)
This is as least as good as the A.C.E. II theme song.
This makes me think of a little digital cowboy outrunning his game being deleted.
Is this open for use for UA-cam videos/time lapses/animations?
