Ugh, didnt I tell you not to click?
Here is the commodore 64The C64 makes great music. Doesn't it just make bleeps and bloops, you ask? No, young 64-digits user, it doesnt.Exhibit A:Acid Jazz.mp3That's a sample of a song made with the C64. Sounds cool, doesnt it? Thanks to the SID chip inside the machine (highly advanced sound-chip in the eighties) it can produce more than bleepy bloops.Some more info about the SID chip:
Quote:
The majority of games produced for the Commodore 64 made use of the SID chip, with sounds ranging from simply clicks and beeps to complex musical extravaganzas or even entire digital audio tracks.Well known composers of game music for this chip are Martin Galway, known for many titles, including Wizball, and Rob Hubbard, known for titles such as ACE 2, Delta, International Karate, IK+, and Monty on the Run. Other noteworthies include Jeroen Tel (Cybernoid and Myth) and Chris Hülsbeck, whose composition career started with the SID but has spanned nearly every kind of computer music and other synthesizers since.
How does someone make music with the C64?
Oh yesss, I've been meaning to break out my SID emulator.
Acid Jazz sounds superb, and I love the tempo modulations in Coffee. :PCHIPTUNES! :D
Nice job on those, they sound great.C-Ator9: They use "trackers" on it, as far as I know. There are trackers for PC and Mac too.
Steven: How did you manage to use that DLL in GM? I also have that DLL. I would love to have .sid files in my games.Why post them as MP3 when you could post them in one of the ever so much smaller chiptune formats?
Anyways, I like chiptunes but these still sound like blips to me. Maybe because I've been listening to Arcanum's soft cello music for the past hour?(Also, Jacid is repulsive. Sorobots was also a bit too whiney, so I could only bear Coffee/8)Not everyone have the software to play chiptune formats.
How does one that like chiptunes not like Acid Jazz? Its like the funkiest tune there is. =PI'm in love with Acid Jazz.
You like it? Cause' I've got about 8999 songs more of the same. :)
It feels as if it is piercing my skull :O.
Idea for the ending for Coffee - wind down in the same way as the track winds up at the start.
