Your quest to replicate it with the 2A03 and/or other sound chips used by the Famicom is somewhat of a futile one, unfortunately. The SID was designed from the ground up to be a top-quality sound chip, with features normally found in high-end synthesizers of the time (such as low-, band- and high-pass filters, ring modulation, oscillator synchronisation and so on). I thought the sound chips on the market, including those in the Atari computers, were primitive and obviously had been designed by people who knew nothing about music.
To quote Bob Yannes, who designed the SID: I think the main issue here is that you are trying to replicate an expertly designed music chip with a technologically far less advanced set of sound chips.

It shouldn't be that hard to learn at all if you know trackers, and with this PDF it will be a lot easier to understand if you are a beginner.Īnd like ImATrackMan said in a maybe slightly rude-ish manner, the Namco 163 is the best way to simulate a SID chip with FamiTracker. GoatTracker 2 is a good tool for C64 tracking on modern operating systems. There definitely is potential in DefleMask, but in its current state, I find it absolutely unusable. Xiphos2000, I would advise you to stay away from DefleMask, seeing as the SID files it outputs are usually horribly oversized and usually slightly inconsistent with what you hear in the tracker and other various things. Commodore 64 music is really fun, and I think composing is a good way to tell others what you feel inside.Or you could use Deflemask. The SID chip can produce really expressive sounds that are still interesting even today. This article covers the basics of Commodore 64 tracking. Two examples are offered, including a cover of the famous Castle Master tune I did some years ago. Goattracker required to listen to it ( download). Please be sure to set the SID type to 8580. Just click on “6581” on the upper blue bar if needed, it will turn into 8580. Also, be sure to set the speed mode to “2x”. To set speed mode to “2x”, just click on the 1 in the “1x” label that you see the first time you start Goattracker: it will turn into “2x”. I love the real hardware, but I think that using a cross-platform tool such as Goattracker is the easiest way of doing Commodore 64 music. It has some disadvantages, as SID emulation is not perfect, but it is the most used tool among SID musicians. Still, you can fine-tune your song on the real Commodore 64 by using a special utility, and of course you can listen to your songs on real hardware as much as you want.

Goattracker is a simple PC program that you can download here. It is a good tool and it comes with an excellent documentation. A track is a sequence of notes played on a single channel. Since the SID has three channels, there are no more than three tracks.Įach track has a fixed lenght. That is, a maximum number of notes you can enter on it. Each entry on a track may be empty or may contain a note.
Included in this package are also the tools betaconv ins2snd2 mod2sng sngspli2 milkytracker 0.90.85-1 (107) FastTracker 2 inspired music tracker protrekkr 1.98klinuxsvn357-1 (Out of Date) (5). GoatTracker is a crossplatform C64 music editor including powerful step-programming (wave/arpeggio, pulse and filter), 63 instruments, instrument parameters & pattern commands. There’s a fixed line on the screen (usually made of reverse or colored characters). GoatTracker is a crossplatform C64 music tracker. On Goattracker, you see this line as green characters on the tracks. GoatTracker v2 adds more commands and uniform step programming tables for.
