    I once found MG's phone number embedded in a piece of code in some early game or demo - Just got a trilogic expert that christmas - 1984 i think - I rang him and I think 12yo me was a complete idiot in whatever I said, and he just ripped the crap out of me - He wasn't rude, he was having fun and laughing, & I know I was a complete tool - I thought he was more awesome for it!
    None of my friends believed me. I rang up many others back then too - for some reason people put their phone numbers hidden inside their code back then - Tim & Cory were a couple of others - Would call them regular and they were nothing short of fantastic, Swapping 5.1/4 discs in the post with demos and stuff they had done. Happiest days of my youth. Playing these games and listening to such incredible music - My SID chip was slightly broke but this made it sound even better.
    Delta/Sanxion/Wizball/Green Beret/Parallax/LastNinja/MegaApocalypse/OceanLoader123 were the soundtrack to my youth.

      SquareWaveHeaven I read a really old interview somewhere, where Galway admits he 'painted himself into a corner' and couldn't figure out how to finish the the tune, so just messed around with that belting discordant racket using as many effects, filters and bends as he could.

    • @StarlancerAstro
      @StarlancerAstro 9 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      +Stacy Mitchell What I mean is the music, I would say most people would here this and think just noise, random blips and beeps. To me there is something about the melody, how mathematical it is, so digital yet at the same time so alive and mind expanding. It can literately relax me from an anxious mood, if you get what I mean, how the math, waveshapes and sound all come together in something beautiful, then you get how my mind works just a little bit more then most people. Being able to see the waveforms just brings that all to another level.

    • @digitalblasphemy1100

      +Starfire Technology I get a totally different experience from it. It makes me laugh sometimes when I'm overwhelmed by a sound that puts the hair on my arms up. That feeling when you hear something, a sound or set of sounds, a pitch from a woman or man's voice singing, a violin or in this case, synth. Something in me swells to tears and I laugh when the music does that to me. Not because I think it's ridiculous that I'm overwhelmed by the sound emotionally but I think it's because crying and laughing are very closely connected somehow. My sister cries all the time and in the middle of it, she will just laugh for no reason at all. It's like the calm after the storm. I'm not high I swear.

    Ah, Martin Galway. Undoubtedly the best of the SID musicians in terms of pure composition, his tunes had a flow to them that few could match and, had he been born 300 years earlier, he'd no doubt have been one of the better known classical composers. I respect his abilities enormously, but unfortunately they just don't do it for me. I much preferred the rough and ready stuff that Rob Hubbard created which, whilst not flowing quite so much, were much more enjoyable to me. But that's just one man's opinion.

    • @perfectfutures
      @perfectfutures 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      C M maybe one day it will. I’d say the audio technology of the C64 was far ahead of the rest of the computer (and that this music is timeless just as it is). We are only just starting to make the kinds of games people dreamed of, with sophisticated game engines and tools letting artists express themselves, whereas back then the game engine might take up most of the time and energy.
      By the time such tools were developed for the C64, people were already moving on to the next generation. Hence new consoles come with development tools before they are even released!
      I know there were some great 8-bit games. But maybe not so many as epic as the music.

    Parallax is one of my all time favorite C64 tunes, because of the futuristic, other-worldly feel to it. I really love when things start to pick up at 7:16. It was always fascinating to watch this in its combined waveform or on a spectral analyzer, but I've never seen it shown with all 3 voices playing separately. Awesome to see!

      Your life must have been very sad then
      But seriously, that, in a way, is a very good analogy:
      The song starts off lighthearted, but then tenses, with it seeming that there is no way out of the sadness.
      Then, at 5:44, all the emotion crushes down upon you, and you realise that there is hope, at 6:45.
      In your old age, you come to accept your fate, now at 8:18. As your dementia consumes you, your mind and soul falls apart in 9:03.
      As you slowly die, at 9:21, slowly becoming nothing more than a body of flesh, and hear the heart monitor stop beeping, at 11:09, your life vanishes: it is no more.

    These sounds ! That highly modulated squares and arps in clever interesting layers and changes on a digital sound chip controlled by computer made the c64 feel alive and games felt exciting even if some were crap 😂

    I do kind of wonder if the BBC Proms had a Video Games Prom of orchestral arrangements of video game music that included this piece.
    I can imagine the meme now..
    _Mind meltingly awesome orchestral piece_
    BBC Narrator: And that was Tim Fallon's composition, "Opening theme tune to Fruit Machine Simulator" originally composed for the Commodre VIC 20 in 1984.

    This theme is so tremendously and wonderfully self-indulgent. I can hear folk, rock ballad, trance, and disturbing dark ambient. This song expresses pride, struggle, imagination, epiphany, loss, perseverance, despair, recovery, grief, a whole range of human emotion. It's hard to believe that it was just title music from a computer game soundtrack.

  • @verbicide4736
    @verbicide4736 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    At 8:22 is the first channel doing a PWM sweep? Is that even possible with that waveform, Or is it doing some sort of ring modulation? Whatever it is, is it doing the same thing at 9:19 or something else?

    • @RolfRBakke
      @RolfRBakke  8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yes it is PWM. That wave is a combination of triangle and square.

    • @verbicide4736
      @verbicide4736 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That makes sense. I just thought that if that specific wave was triangle and pulse, then it would also be subject to PWM. I'll have to experiment with that in SIDs of my own.

    • @grobalicious5906
      @grobalicious5906 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Why does the combination wave have all those spikes instead of having a smooth line like this "_/\__/\__/\_"? Also, how come sound generating software such as the 3001 sound odyssey never offered this waveform? I was only able to duplicate this from playing around with basic programming.

    • @verbicide4736
      @verbicide4736 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      That waveform is created by mixing the Triangle and Pulse waveforms. I can't honestly name any other synthesizers that can do that.
