How is it possible to do such sampling on the C64 ? I do not know all of the technical things on C64 digi sampling, but even I know that this tune must have been absurdly difficult....congrats to Fanta (BTW, your tunes are on my all-time favorite playlist, and that includes radio!! Radio is boring these past several years...)
I am gonna test this with my real C64's.. if it works and if I ever get a new camera, I'll probably make a small video out of it. Pretty cool tune! Now, does a GoatTracker2-type tracker exist for making this kind of samples+2 SID synth-tunes?
Really love the tune! I'm working on a few C64 SID projects myself and when people ask why I have them listen to this.. when they hear what the SID can do then they understand.
Fuckin A, loved this tune in the Compo! Big big props to Soundis and THCM, too, for finding out something this freaking awesome 26 years after the c64s release! ;-D That's the spirit!
to be honest the best part of the sound is that genuine SID generated synthesis track... not those ugly Amiga-like low-res samples.. but yes, it's on C-64!
Hmmm... Interesting... This song is about a refreshing soft drink in space.

This is fucking amazing... Time and again, the mighty C64 outshines everything else in the 8-bit junkheap. This thing cannot die.

@AY3EIGHTYNINE10 I'd say it outshines most of the 16-bit junkheap as well!

It was already done on the Color Computer (Coco3) a few years ago by SockMaster.(The CoCo MOD)
But from a C64 without Samples Capabilities? It's awesome.

Holy shit, is this pure SID Sound ?
It's hard to imagine it only being a single SID !
Dreamlgider 2 years ago
@Dreamlgider No, as far as i know it`s 4 channel 8bit samples + 2 sid synth voices (one sid voice is used to playback samples) .

For some reason I do not get this picture on Vice or my real C64 (only a black screen), but the song is playing correctly on the C64 and Vice.
A nice thing is that the demo size is only 114 Blocks (less than 30 Kilobytes) in one file so it works on my MMC Replay (very short loading time).

Amiga has similar samples made after the SID synths.On c64 the sounds are coming from an analog chip while on the amiga, they are samples.
xxxogchris 2 years ago
The only analog part of the SID is the filter (and of course the signal after the internal DAC)
Most early games and application (prior to 1985) didn't even make use of the filter.
The waveforms are made up with sequential logic circuits and are not samples, but STILL digital.

Technically interesting. But there are really better tunes available for the C64.

If you close your eyes, you can fool yourself into thinking you're listening to a MOD on an Amiga. Brilliant!
