Jammer - "Foregone Destruction" (C64) [Oscilloscope View] 

It's so crisp and clean for the c64, I thought it was an Amiga

@@Retrogamingmaverick My exact thoughts!!

C64 sound is timeless

the sample is 4 bit the amigas sample is 16 bit but i agree with you

​@@gereniccc4487The Amiga's Paula supports 8-bit linear PCM sample playback. There are tricks you can use to achieve the equivalent of 14-bit sample playback, but you're going to be leaning heavily on the CPU rather than DMA and you'll be sacrificing a channel.

Just what I was thinking. Brilliant comment.

Two facing worlds.

Nah. The best in the world of samples is definitely Jogeir Liljedahl

Probably because nobody really usually pushes it quite this far

Yup. Love UT. Love This Cover

the samples are tracked as a .mod and then passed through THCMod with the sid file, which is probably made in goattracker or cheesecutter.

I'm not sure after several years but it's most probably amen mixed with the other one

@@jammerc64 what was the file sizE!

@@jammerc64 I know the amen break sample well enough to know it's not that. But I'm not entirely sure if I'm correct in saying it's the think break, I remember hearing a snare like this in some other loops... I also didn't expect you to reply to this, thanks haha Edit: I actually can’t tell now if it is amen break due to the low sample rate, that seems to mess with things. Forgive me for whatever claims I made above lol

@@_ponkachonka as an author I assure you that amen is mixed in 😉 It's more clear in high quality samples.

Listen to vim!!, he made some jungle chiptunes back in the day

I couldn't help myself. I agree so much :D!

If you trigger changes in selected SID registers quick enough, you can pull off software based sample playback. It's pretty resource hungry, though ;)

Is not only the SID!!!!! Is mixed with sampled sound!!!! Very memory intensive to store all that digitized drums 😮

@@MrGoMario I believe capability statement also refers to soft digi playback 😉

Hey man, i gotta say, you're amazing! Just wondering, how did you make these samples, how does it work?

I think that your version, intentionally or not, adds an interesting layer of melancholy to the track. Or maybe it is just me remembering how the world, myself was 22 years ago... ;-) Anyway, fantastic work, thank you!

@@greenytoaster seconded :o

Load it to your C64 and play 😉 It's that simple 😃

@@jammerc64 I don't have one or the money to get one.

@@LloydLynx np. download file from CSDb and run with Vice emulator (and don't forget to set SID to 8580) ;) Be warned that visuals are literary black screen as C64 has no rastertime for showing anything during playback (screen is disabled).

@@LloydLynx vice, dude. vice.

Player takes whole screen because of elaborate sample routine. Tune is available there for 2 years straight: csdb.dk/sid/?id=52973 Just check out my entire dir for more goodies ;)

WTF! I completely missed that. :O Thanks, now listening to it in sidplay. ;)

atleast make the rasterlines just take up the borders someone can make a good ut port with this

@@bitchlasagna4720 heh, I can't imagine how rubbish this would sound with the samples just playing in the border.

Oh hey there

Mahoney's "Monophone" is probably the best use of samples in a song

Nothing that runs on stock C64 is against the spirit ;) I think samples in HiFi Sky sound better than Monophone - mainly because of smart filtering ;)

Be peace with it, mate. Someone like Jammer using samples on C64 is something like Darth Vader telling a joke: he can do it and you can laugh but if you know him you also know before you start to laugh that he can distort the time-space continuum around you with ease. Just with mere thougths. On any normal SID. 3 channels. No samples.

LOL! :D

A small piece of silicon called a SID...

As time has gone on, more and more techniques for playing samples ("digis") on the SID have been discovered, with less and less noise -- but it does require a whole lot of CPU time.
