Has anybody tried emulating the types of sounds made by a SID chip like the ones in old C64 computers?

Hi Kev,

I´ve made one just for fun, just thinkin of those arcade 8 bit video game
sounds from the eighties. I´ve named it (Lord) "SIDious".
It´s like that "giana sisters" sound for the commodore C-64. Here it is:

Nice idea to open a "SID" thread. Hope some other users have done
some "SID" patches too.


Greetingz,

Hey TecRoc, I tried the link you supplied and it said that it was no longer valid.

I was quite interested in trying your SID and Organ settings

As always, once I get them I'm sure i'll be impressed

Hi Jaymz,

Now the link above should work again!

Have Fun with 8bit invaders!

hehe oh yes I have in fact I am (still) working on some kind of "tracker" with special radias support (well, it's progressing slowly TBH)

special support means that, besides other retro-like features, it allows you to reprogram the voices 50-100 times per second, just like old SID replayers used to "hack" the c64 soundchip regs
it also makes it possible to use the 16 drum voices not only for drums (i.e. you can play melodies)
it works only with USB midi because of bandwidth/latency requirements.

here's a (very early! in fact the first..) sound example (it's just one timbre): sid SD

but don't get too excited, the proggy is not ready for release, yet.
..and you will have to be quite tech-savvy to use it in a senseful way
