    Regarding the filter, the C64 filters are known for being very “idiosyncratic”, varying from machine to machine, but that’s all part of the charm. :)

      Probably first time that chip designers knew about music too. This guys leave commdore and founded ESS. Apple sucks so bad, Commdore made this 64K machine AFFORDABLE to almost anyone and it wasnt just a cheap game console, it was a complete computer with built in basic, all the peripeharals etc. I mean, nothing toy like, but a real computer.And with the mone of an Apple 2 ALONE, you got the 64, printer and disk drive. Apple II even used the 6502 from MOS .... pathetic. Putting a computer together ... wow yeah ...very good, Commodore DESIGNED THEIR CHIPS first. They werent linmited by the of the shlef parts, they MADE THEIR PARTS. PERIOD. MPU, SOUND, VIDEO, EXPANSION CHIP, FULL DECODING LOGIC and 20K of Kernal+Basic to support them.

    Excellent work LMNC ! By th sound of it, I get the feeling that the controls are very jumpy and difficult to dial in gradually. Maybe swap out the log pots for linear pots, or vice versa. That could cure the problem. Cheers, Paul.

  • @borismatesin
    @borismatesin 4 роки тому

    One thing that might affect the overall sound and filters is the fact that the A/V (audio-video) connector has an EXT IN pin - this was intended to let you mix in external sounds (at 0.6 Vpp signal level, I think). If nothing's plugged in, it acts like an antenna and mixes in noise.
    The fix is to connect the A/V connector's EXT IN pin to ground - on an old C64 with the long board and the 6581 SID, this silences the noise and needs no more modifications.
    On newer C64s (like your "cut-down one") with the short board and the 8580 SID, if you short the EXT in line to ground through a 330 kΩ resistor (or a potentiometer which you can tweak further), it both silences the noise and brings back the SID's ability to play digitized samples (which rely on at least some bias on the input line).
    Another thing that might be affecting it is heat - those older SIDs do tend to warm up and it might cause the filters and the chips themselves to go unstable, so it might be a good idea to put a small passive heatsink onto each of them.
