C64 Tutorial, how to make music with the SID Chip! 

Background music is from alloy run Thanks to acrouzet for letting me use this The music can be found here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-miu4xLcnW8c.html

This is the best summary / tutorial on the sid's capabilities hands down. Awesome!

It's very nice summary. Although, as a medium grade SID knowledge nerd: 1. Not resonance. It's more correct to call it "multimode resonant filter" where you can control cutoff and resonance. Also you can combine filter modes (lowpass + highpass etc.) 2. You can mask pulse + tri combined wave with different pulse widths (constant pulse width or PWM) 3. You should have also said that there isn't any "traditional" channel volume control, so the only way is to make shortest attack & decay and use sustain level as volume control

Nice video :) The track you made at the end was great too. :) One thing viewers may not be aware of is that there were two C64 SID chips, although each and every chip sounds a little different. But the two types have some big differences, the 2nd was an attempt to fix flaws in the first. So for composing music the 8580 has more options, although some prefer the sound of the original. I'm 8580 all the way :)

fire tutorial 🔥 love the sound design breakdown

The song at the end is awesom!

I can imaging you'll make pretty good depeche mode covers

I really love SID music since the 80's.

Awesome summary, especially with the added visuals. Thanks a lot for this 😀👍

I LOVE C64 👍🥂🎩

Thank you, great insight into how the oscillators were traditionally used. I'm going to try this all out in Vital tomorrow

Very nice! You put a lot into 7minutes. Thanks!

Nice little overview of the SID’s capabilities.

Yeah tell em

great!

Yes, I got answers for some questions. Very informative video.

Pretty helpful and interesting. Nice work, and thanks!

i’m confused the video explain feature of the sound chip but how can I compose song ? do I need to write code or is there a software we can use ?

Awesome tutorial. Well done 😊

this is probably one of the most useful tutorials I have ever seen thx for making this ;)

Impressive, thanks !

It was very usefull! Thank yuo very much! And the music is great!

holy mother of pearls!

Thank you, it was really helpful!

Nice vid

super cool music at the end. can we find it somewhere?

Now that I don’t have a PC anymore I’m saving this for when I do so I can try my hand at some tunes (and yes I did comment here before. RU-vid thanos snapped my old account for some reason. I moved here as a result.)

But how :D The User Manual gives you like 10 lines of visual basic to make a single beep

i'm using furnace tracker to make SID music, and some of the percussion refuse to play for some reason. is this a normal quirk of the SID? and if so, is there anyway i can work around it?

can you make how to make the sounds in deflemask ? (video tutorial with the software)

What tracker do you use?

But how do u actually do it? Do u draw the lines by hand?

fl studio.......
