@korgpadude C, a lot of C programming. I use CC65. It's a cross-compiler tool to create your own software (also works for other 650X(2) devices like NES or Apple II). Also, it's multiplataform, so you can use it in Windows, Linux, Mac OS X (I had to compile it for this system).

And well, the rest is just programming. Do the math, create efficient algorithms and use your imagination to get an impressive visual :D

if you have the original c64 owners manual, there is a music program you can type in and play with. but sadly it doesn't even scratch the surface of what the SID 6581 is capable of.....

wow this machine in perfekt condition, keep this unit alive, 5 STARS

@58MadMax that's true but remember that that kind of computer is now kinda simple to repair i am an electronic, thrust me.

Not very impressive. You could write such a program quickly with C64 Basic, just some poke commands on the right registers, and some key reads.

Looks like "The Incredible Musical Keyboard" by Sight & Sound Music Software, Inc. The creator of this video apparently doesn't have (or isn't using) the actual keyboard part - a cute little plastic overlay with mini piano-style keys that fit over the C64's keys so you could tell where the notes were and how to play actual music.

[snuggemsbunnybear]

Ugh, see my comment below, I was stupid and replied to the creator, not your post. Sorry!

I cant believe that it sounds so cool!I have a question:If I buy a C64 how can I have this program on it?Are there c64 disks different than regular floppy disks?

[snuggemsbunnybear]

You might be able to find the .D64 disk image online and run it using a Commodore 64 emulator on a PC. Or, could find the program on eBay. There are ways to get the .D64 disk image file transferred to a Commodore's disk format but unfortunately a PC floppy drive cannot directly write Commodore format disks - there is a special cable and software that let you plug the Commodore disk drive into your PC and transfer the file that way however.

I don't know, this C64 is selling now ... Sorry!

[CheezWizTimeLord]
