Machinae Supremacy is a band from Luleå, Sweden that combines modern heavy metal and alternative rock with chiptunes. Self-defined as "SID metal", many of their songs use a SidStation that features the SID chip of the Commodore 64. <-- Nice! One of my favourite bands :)
This.. THIS is the instrument I wanted! Well actually it's kind of a portamenteau of what I wanted... I want to get a keytar and make it play sid sounds.. and wow here it is... how in the flark do I get something like this? I have very low technical skills and zero electronics and programming skills. Haha.
@crudface there is a thread on the midibox dot org forum about patches, and people are posting single ones on there. I am sure that they would be appreciated. The ones I have made so far are a little bland but I plan to put mine up soon.
I saw this thing a year ago. It caused me to discover the midibox project. I now own a SammichSID, a Yamaha SHS-10, a pro audio soundcard, and a copy of Ableton. I have parts for a Midibox FM on the way and am about to be starting a joint project to make music for a small independant film festival. Youtube changes people :-)
Mate you have to start manufacturing these. You could make some serious cash. i will pre-order one now please. Amazing. I dont think i can live without this instrument.
@USBKebabMachine You can't easily get the SID chips to make them. There are lots of fake ones on the market now too. The project behind this also prohibits selling them commercially. That doesn't mean you can't talk someone else into building a kit for you though... Have a look at the SammichFM, it is easy to build and the parts are still manufactured new so you can easily get them. Go have a look at that and think about building one inside a home made keytar :)
holy crap, dude! you are looking like me, i thought it was me in this video - awesome music! maybe you are my lost twin brother or so #LOL where are you from?
Wow you're a genius! (I can tell by the fact that you built something so AMAZING, yet could not comb your hair - telltail sign of a genius) Of course I am the opposite, all about the hair, but I couldn't make something that would impress a 5 year old. I do however have my Commodore 64 that hasn't worked since 1996 or so...I only have a simple Yamaha SHS-10, but I wonder if I could figure a creative way to incorporate any of the pieces the way you have. Great job.
@TRJ22487 I too recently aquired an SHS-10. I am getting a sammichSID box which is a kit you can assemble which is based on the same project as this one was based on, in fact researching how this machine was made lead me to discover the sammichSID. You might want to look in that direction, although, be warned that the guy making those already announced his last batch ever 2 batches ago...
@crudface Hey! I was wondering how much it costs to build, and how long it took you to make.. Would you be interested in building one for sale??! I want one SOO bad! =D
Dude the world is a more interesting place with you in it,this machine is amazing and the knowhow to make such a device must be mind amazingly complex.Total respect man.
Check out my channel for some synths I am making in software,also i have some nice synth vids of mine.
This is a mind blowing instrument. What a technical achievement you have made here. Fantastic. How long did it take to complete this project? Great work I love it and the sound is awesome.
Dude, you have to tell me what kind of skillset you need to accomplish this sort of awesomeness. What kinds of math do you know? What sort of experience do you have with music and the commodore 64? Do you have a degree in computer engineering or something? I gotta know so I can go out and do something like this myself.
@darkfoxfurre Well, I nearly failed Algebra II in high school so that should tell you something about my mathematical ability. I have a deep background in music technology at this point -currently pursuing my phd in it.
Most of what I know about electronics however is self taught / learned by working with people smarter than me. Seek out a guru. And go to ucapps.de for schematics to build a SID synth. 85% of the guts I built straight from Thorsten's amazing design. and 100% of the code.
@crudface What do you mean by music technology? Where did/do you learn about that? I've got a degree in "Recording and Music Technology" and we never learned how to do anything like this :P I'd love to learn though.
1) B.Mus from the Oberlin Conservatory in Technology in Music and Related Arts (TIMARA)
2) M.F.A. from CalArts in Experimental Sound Practices (ESP)
3) M.A. from Brown University in Multimedia and Electronic Music Experiments (MEME)
I'm working on my Ph.D. now, also at Brown's MEME department. But like I said, you don't need school to make awesome stuff!! Just a functioning brain and time / dedication.
@KaslarProductions Both chips are rev 2 -I tried to match them as closely as I could given the selection of chips I had to work with. Left channel is date code 4883, right channel is 2983. I also have a r4AR from the first week of '87 in my (non-modified) c64. It sounds kind of strange on games because the filter characteristics are so different, but it's also very musical.
I don't get the big deal about the 8580. 6581 is way more legit from where I'm sitting. Enjoy MSSIAH, it's awesome.
@crudface Oh I DEFINATELY want a 8580 badly and understand the appeal to it 100%... The reason being that it is what the specs of the SID SHOULD have been if it wasn't rushed out super early incomplete.... I ache for a filter with cream in it... But the flaws are VERY characteristic and I love the broken chip even more than the 8580. the brokenness has a joyful song to sing to us. and 6 channel bass lines stereo separated sound dirtier than anything I've heard. keep doin what you do. =)
@KaslarProductions I understand where you're coming from. I guess when I want a filter with cream I use one of my analog synths. The 6581 filter is what I remember from my youth and what I associate with SID -the 8580 sounds too "modern" somehow. I don't know if that makes any sense to anyone else, and certainly a lot of people seem to prefer the 8580. Which is great. It's just not for me.
It would be nice to have properly working mixed waveforms though!
You play very well mister, you should really do something with this, children up too 16 would enjoy this very badly, and perhaps have a movie behind you like a cinnema, that would be great. i like your playing, KEEP 'T UP:D
Cover the Delta tracks and I will pass my final judgement afterwards. This sounds a bit too clean imo. Of course you might've not wanted to perfectly emulate C64 sound... but what would you need the SID chips for, then, right? ;) Needs the typical C64 kinda 'bubbly' reverb I think.
@KaslarProductions Nono, I was talking about sound architecture, not the notes themselves. When I'm talking about this kind of 'reverb' (not sure what to call it, hence the marks) I mean that there's a bit of a shadow following every note played, for the C64 style of audio output. It produces the characteristic 'unclean' retro sound. watch?v=6tLY_E1-8RM <- here for instance, the sound is muffled and echoed, but still clean. watch?v=LlwgAzgK7ws is not muffled, but 'shadowed' and 'unclean'. :P
@Samuraionthewall Do you mean the vca bleed? on the 6581 it never really shuts fully, so you can always hear the oscillators lingering in the background noise. I think this effect was considerably reduced on the 8580, but I'm not sure since my experience with that revision is limited.
I like the bleed. It really is kind of like reverb, and it can help fill out a mix. And you can always gate it away if you don't like it.
@pencildives Yes! They're spray painted glossy black to give them a more metallic finish, and then screwed onto a foundational wooden frame to form the neck.
@tombrehmer lol, wow. Talk about an obscure reference. I never thought about it, but now that you mention it Giana is pretty similar to Harold's "thing." Googling for pictures of it now, it even looks like they might have used a commodore of some variety. The world is weird.

@victormusictechnique its ok just read your profile and see how you got into this stuff.
Just read your essay 'The machine dosn't care'.fascinating stuff,I connected with the bit about childhood memories being triggered by old 8 bit systems.Interestingly it sort of answered something for me because sometimes in adult life when things get hard i tend to play my old 8 bit systems and I sort of feel safe again-maybe because in childhood we are safe and under the protection of parents etc.

Just read your essay 'The machine dosn't care'.fascinating stuff,I connected with the bit about childhood memories being triggered by old 8 bit systems.Interestingly it sort of answered something for me because sometimes in adult life when things get hard i tend to play my old 8 bit systems and I sort of feel safe again-maybe because in childhood we are safe and under the protection of parents etc.

You make me feel inferior as a human being, because I lack the knowledge and capacity to do the wonderful things you did here.

Why have you nailed a rug to your wall?

@mechanicalnucleus mostly for acoustic reasons. It acts as an absorber.

There have been at least three Back to Future references in the comments thread so far, which is completely awesome. Thanks for making my day.
