SID ChipTunes
When I was searching for some old C64 chiptunes, I've found the
Hight Voltage SID Collection, which contains
myriads of chip tunes - I'm sure there is no single person who listen(ed) to all of them
.
After listening to some SIDs, I decided to create some of my own. But with what?
First, I started the C64 emulator (VICE), and I tried
all the sound editors that I could find on the internet.
But in my opinion, all those programs are quite hard to use (which I think is due to the age
of the C64, and the different keyboard layouts).
After searching the internet a bit longer, I finally found a program, which runs on recent platforms:
GoatTracker
(SourceForge page). Using this program is the
easiest way to create SID tunes! Everything else requires you to get familiar with a C64 soundeditor
(and as I've mentioned, they are really hard to handle), or to learn C64 assembly language to
directly control the soundchip - but fortunately, this is the 21st century
.
These are the SIDs that i've finnished so far.
Warning: Most people don't like this kind of music
