just goes to show how awsome the sid chip was, so beyond its time, thank god we had proper programmers that could take advantage of such small memory space and come up with the goods
NO F**ING WAY!!! I saw this many years ago and could never remember the title correctly and was unable to search it up again. Bookmarked, liked, subscribed and downloaded. I'm never letting go of this demo again.
The Texas Instruments TI99/4A from Texas Instruments came out in 1981. It had 16 Colours with one Transperant Colour which could be overlayed on top of the other 15 Colours, including itself to produce 32 Colours on Screen Simultaneously.If you had the optional"Extended TI Basic"you could program &access 32 Moving smooth Sprites Blocks Simultaneously.The sound was aalright at 7 Octaves but NO Waveform,Envelope like Synthesizers.It was Pulse-Tone.Resolution with ALL 32 Colours was 256x192 Pixels!
Did anyone else notice the kind of equality in the lower chars pattern? "abcdefg" then pair the first letter and add one more at the end: "aabcdefgi". Then pair the next one and attach another: "abbcdefgij". Look further on and you'll see some logic behind the pattern ;-)
But when the programmers do the typical sampling trick for the SID (think "Mission Impossible" voice or any of the demos you hear with samples), the little glitch on the SID that makes this possible basically yields a 4-bit sample.
The letters do not behave random at all! It is a text based waveform display, showing the samples. Close your eyes slightly, maybe that helps to see it better. ;-)
recklessness1987 Classic sound chips like the SID were architectured as follows: there are multiple "Voices" or oscilators with certain tones of noise produced. These are controlled by reading and writing data, intended to create notes. What this guy is doing, is that he is making calculated changes to registers so fast, that the changes in the registers over time is what creates unique "Sampled" sound. His complex drum beats, complex tones, and voice synthesis are from this technique. This technique has been known for a long time, however the extent to which it is used here is incredible. Of course, it makes sense why he would need to use the graphics chip for more memory... the limitation for sampled music like this has always been a serious lack of memory and processing power needed to write instructions to the chip at hundreds if not thousands of times the normal rate for music reproduction.
K. Meinzer Your explanation here is wrong, it's actual samples. There is a bug in the 6581 SID where the unused 4 bits of the 8 bit master volume register could be used similarly to a 4 bit dac, thus making actual sampled sounds.
Though I had a second hand C64 years ago I never fully knew just what the audio chip was capable of doing to this kind of extent until now, wow, this is an incredible demonstration, wow, some of those drum sounds are very realistic. And what did you get from IBM back in the day? That pathetic PC speaker, that's what you got.
If you're talking about the SID, there's no digital samples involved. The output is actually analog. It takes instructions digitally, but the output is analog. It's basically an analog synth on a chip.
@@keithlegg Booze Design for one still uses the actual machines to code demos, such as plenty other people. It's not just about coding on these machines and watching it on the emulator, but also actually using them, at least for some.
I was guessing. I love the old C64, but I am too hooked on my modern text editors and tools. I cant even imagine doing it on the real machine. However they did it, this is pure bad-assery.

Still rockin this in 2023!
I want to shake the hand of the man who made this.
All you know is wrong
boop bop boop bop
so take a hit of my bong
boop bop boop bop
it's clearly bip bop not boop bop
Guys, it's obviously:
"Bee-bee-boo-bop, bee-bee-boo-beep."
Second verse:
All you know is wrong
bip bop bip bop
and the proof is this song
bip bop bi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i bo-bo-bo-bop-bop
You can shut the internet off now, this is epic win. Just amazing
View of the sample data :) When SID plays synth, there's nothing (hhhh), when a digi sample is played, you can see the "matrix".
Very interesting
I think this guy just invented the long awaited "Music 2"
pure chipporn i feel young again...
Sir, this is so wrong! We needed this 20 years ago :)

The rapid attack sawtooth waveforms in this track shredded the fabric in my Macbook speakers . . . it was worth it.

CREATIVITY IS FORBIDDEN
This music is surprisingly catchy.
one of my fave goto tunes for a c64 hit
Always wondered what drum & bass / breakbeat sounded like on a C64
This song is actually using sampling on the C64. It was very primitive but it worked.
That's the neatest VUmeter I've seen in a while.
The trick is to use the video RAM to load those huge-ass samples.
And since it's video, you get to see the samples being accessed.
Great, great C-64, again and again I wonder how much this little computer impress me, still after three decade!
What sorcery is this!
The great and ancient art of demoscene.
I guess it's still alive, what is stunning awesome...
I really reallllly regret not holding on to that C64 when I had it. I was just a kid though...
C64 is still the best Christmas present and the best Birthday present ever and this is the proof...
Omg this is awesome :O
My level of agreement is beyond definition
now it’s a classic
i didn't know a kick drum can hit that hard on a c64 song
That's incredible, amazing that the SID chip could spit that out... well done!!!

I've got an original C128 (using an IBM CGA display, audio routed to my home theater system). Now I must look up how to program the SID.
This is awesome. That is all.

Goddamn this is a kickin' beat.
Pretty goddamn amazing.. .

Highway Guy, we need oscilloscope view, NOW
She is now known as Doric Dream.
Thanks a lot for putting the prg file link on here!
The letters do not behave random at all! It is a text based waveform display, showing the samples. Close your eyes slightly, maybe that helps to see it better. ;-)
Either there's a glitch in the matrix or something is really wrong lol
Actually, it's pretty clever. he's appearantly using memory intended to store glyphs or graphics to do audio related calculations.

certified classic
unreal tune
I'd love to see this in oscilloscope view
wouldn't you?
+spir1t7 >worse than hitler
XD
Wow that is crazy but cool! Thumbs up from Dublin (Ireland) ! :) 👍☘
This is AMAZING !!!
Nicely done.
Dude, the 0:36 part really had me amazed ! That is an awesome buildup and quality
I'll have what he's having
Nice to see a C64 video on genuine hardware instead of emulator. :) Also, awesome SID.
If you space out to the changing letters, it starts looking like a waveform
jesus christ, did they get the amen break onto the SID chip? wow

Miss the old days ... •,• !!! This is INSANE
Impressive song! thanks from sharing!!
Nice one! Thanks for upload! :)
Amazing song! I like to come back to it 😆😃
This PRG is one of the few that I've successfully ran on my C64C, using WAV-PRG and Audiotap.
2:11 wow!
Wow this sounds totally awesome.
I have to learn to do sid chip music, they would go so well with games.
This is most excellent. . .

incredible.
One can hear here "Ucieczka z tropiku", a classical Polish electronic song from the 80's.
One of the best songs I've ever heard on SID o_O
even in 2021 it hails as #1
Retro dubstep.
This is amazing.
aaaaaah SID was awesome... dirty retro sounds :)
Play this in any club 80's or 2020. Job done!
2021*
Amazing.
xenon lol, nice job, thanks for posting 8bitpeeps ftw.... why did i had an amiga... sids way more nostalgic.
FANTASTIC :o
@2Champions
You can find it on HVSC. It's called All You Know is Wrong.
SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY
And this is what happens. XD
that was the longest 5 minutes ever.
Is this all just using 1 SID chip?
+djlobb Yes, it is :)
dam
if you put a resistor across any two pins on the 8580 chip it will work
He probably programmed it on an actual C64, some people still do that :P
Not likely. They are a pain to work on. Cross assemblers on a modern machine make you way more productive.

Those 4-bit digital samples sound cool.
dude, that was effin RAD!
Awesome!
The weird letters are a visualisation of the waveform....
SID FTW!
All You Know (Is Wrong) - Fanta
[from nectarine]
I need to buy an iPad just to hang it on a wall in my bedroom where this video plays on loop
this was epic af!!!! then the voice appeared -3-
The mighty Sid
You can't wait 13 seconds for a video to start? Well sorry, "Mister Super Fucking Busy."
We (Plush) extensively used Marijuana leaf sprites and -graphics in our demos. There has been a reason why. Fanta is a member by the way.. :-)
Fire 🔥🔥🔥
It's normal!!! Nice tune & digis!
this bangs
The lyrics except for "all you know is wrong" is freakly clear.
WTF!!! HAHA!! C64 goes 90s! goddamn...... i love it!
Shit is pure bumpin
Brilliant.
I never had C64 :( Instead i played around with stuff from my brother like a ZX81 ... This song is really awesome!!
Shit is bumpin
It sounds like he's using small sound samples as well as generating stuff right off the chip.
C64 FTW!
AWSOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C64 Sid is a nice Sound Chip :-)
I just recorded it to cassette with my hi-fi tape deck. Try turning the recording volume up high...
2:10 dope as f...
2:15 reminds me of KLAX
