Martin Galway - “Wizball (C64) - Title Theme” (Real SID) [Oscilloscope View]

[@alonsojett]

This has always been one of my absolute favorite SID tracks. Martin Galway is such a genius.

[@JoergOberle]

It is simply unbelievable how good the music in this game is.

[@tobikomi5018]

That's a unique looking filter wave in the beginning, almost looks like a triangle wave.

[@christianherbst674]

This is the beauty of 8 bit outsiders sadly will never understand.

[@richcarless7740]

I remember buying Wizball at £9.99 and thinking that was waste. Turned out to be one of the greatet games I would ever play.

[@toretronio9030]

How much I wish there was an actual equivalent chip to the SID, so that much more people could really experience it. This device is very fragile and it's becoming even more rare to find one these days

[@ozzie_goat]

There is the SwinSID that is basically an FPGA recreation.

[@forple8930]

@@ozzie_goatit's really inaccurate though. the best one can get is an ASIC clone.

[@ozzie_goat]

@@forple8930 I heard about the inaccuracy. People really think FPGAs are some flawless magical do-everything devices.

[@mirabilis]

@@ozzie_goat SwinSID is based on a microcontroller, not an FPGA.

[@ozzie_goat]

@@mirabilis Huh. My mistake, then.

[@ul77]

Easily the best oscilloscope so far. I could look at this one forever. Thanks for creating these!

[@Abdullu]

1:00 when the bass drops

[@danny_cookie]

...gee, I feel nostalgic for a console I've never even seen up close.

[@retrogamesrevived1189]

Hopefully 4 years later youve finally seen the mighty c64 up close?

[@stephenquinn3950]

Wow, incredible to be honest. Although I understood the principles of ADSR it wasn't until I literally saw this that I could see the individual sound wave patterns... Thanks you . Absolute belter of a tune . Thanks

[@sleeping_lugia]

i figured out that the lead guitar instrument at the beginning is a combination of filtered outputs lpf+bpf+hpf with variable cutoff frequency! i tested it by creating filters from scratch and tuning it with information from oscilloscope view outputs so it should be mostly correct

[@Re-Tech]

Its great to hear and see this track. Fantastic reminder of how good the SID was and is. I have a video on the difference in sound between the old and new SID chips, but your video is compelling.

[@filuferru]

Is the video online? Can you link it to us? ☺

[@BenjaminRegen]

So memorable

[@paulkocyla1343]

Magical game, excellent graphics and sound.

[@forple8930]

TIL waves n filters be a lot different than emulated

[@MM-ym8kk]

so cool, 1:05 looks like some kind of retro game.

[@TakuikaNinja]

bruh the tune *is* for a retro game

[@toretronio9030]

lul
Wizball is a retro game and this is the tune that plays on the title screen of the Commodore 64 version, right before you press run

[@SendyTheEndless]

Channelling Glass. Fantastic until the loop seam at the end of the track, what an awkward jump, probably ran out of memory.

[@toretronio9030]

In an interview of Galway that I read he stated that he sometimes "ran out of juice too quickly, and that shows in tunes like wizball and green berret." He started of strong, but just couldn't find a way to continue or finish the track...
Story of my life when composing music :P

[@ostradiemgi5469]

@@toretronio9030 And Parallax. Still a masterpiece.

[@toretronio9030]

Exactly.
Galway has great music that introduced me to the SID, along with FamiCommodore, but Parallax...
It's something else.

[@RoulDukeGonzo]

Where do you hear Glass? More like Emerson, Lake and Palmer?

[@RoulDukeGonzo]

@@toretronio9030 really interesting, the first part is amazing, the second part a little boring after it gets going...

[@richhollins188]

Classic !

[@filuferru]

Now we NEED Arkanoid title track played on REAL 6581...
