Nostalgia ;)

Heh, I just knocked together my first actual C64 sidtune in over ten years just now ;)

Hard going, but strangely satisfying it was too ;)

Did I "persuade" you to do it with my messages on another board? If so, I'm pleased! C'mon then, let's hear it!

You may have influenced me somewhat ;)

No, this one is not for public consumption as I kind went "wow, I cant still do it!" - but I *will* do a complete tune just for the hell of it ;)

Glad to see you come back to it, I really liked some of your original C64 stuff, should be interesting to hear what you come up with after all this time.

Cool want to tell me how?

Post by robnox »

Freakazoid,

I have about 4 old c64's and I want to get one making some tunes. I am keen to program some sounds on it to be used as samples (in the future make them availble for other people to use). I have found some explanations about peeking and pokeing the memory of the SID chip from the original c64 manual. I was wondering if you could give me some programming tips / examples / links that might help. I haven't done much programming however I know how synths work. Is it possible for me to make a program where I can make "live" adjustments (kinda like the patches and patterns on rebirth/reason for the c64) to the sounds or would I just be re-inventing the wheel? Can you program an arpeggiator and how? etc.

Thanks in Advance,
Rob.

Robnox:

Heh, I cant really remember any of the old programming stuff I used to do. Last time I coded on the C64 was in an emulator when I wrote a sidplay compatible play routine for my sample playback.

Re-inventing the wheel? No I dont think so, but I'm lazy these days I can get just the kind of C64 instruments I want via existing VST's.

Infamous:

You've weirded my out now :)

Everyone else:

Stay tuned, I will release my C64 recent work ASAP, I've been distracted by some new synthy stuff in my "modern" sequencer :)
