- vunderba 1y agoAbsolutely love the SID chip. The clever way of imitating chord-based triads by just rapid arpeggiating on a single channel was super cool to me as kid.
- smilespray 1y agoWasn't Rob Hubbard one of the guys behind that trick?
- vardump 1y agoArpeggio was everywhere, doable on pretty much any sound chip. I think what sets SID apart are things like high/low pass filters, finely adjustable PWM width and maybe even finely tunable pitch.
- _spduchamp 1y agoThe SID chip is an analog semi-modular synth with digital control. The arpeggios unfortunately seem to be so heavily leaned on that it pretty much defines the chiptune sound, and those arpeggios could be played on lots of other systems, but the SID, when you dig into the beat frequencies and filters is a rich sonic world like no other. Here is that BASIC beat frequency drone (no filter stuff) https://youtu.be/k2YZkSq2gcY https://youtu.be/k2YZkSq2gcY
- gschizas 1y agoThere's a syntax error in line 10 (t0 instead of to). Also, what's the source for this program? I tried it on VICE and failed miserably. Maybe something (else) was copied wrong? Or is it supposed to fail on emulators?
