Hard Restart?

Hi, can anyone explain me please what this Hard Restart is all about and why does it seem to be that important? This confuses me.

SID-Wizard seems to have per-instrument HR settings.
Not that it is hugely relevant if you just want to see what it's all about.

What music programs do support entering Hard Restart ADSR Values for each Instrument? I want to try out everything a little bit to hear the difference.


In JITT64 I set up various mode for setting hard-restart, like changing the order of sid register initialization that can change the produced sound.

You can expand it more as in instrument definitions you can change ADSR as you want many times, so you can even program the HR in some exotics way over the classical one (it only need to insert this into the beginning of instrument instead of at the end).

Soft hardrestart is even possible using the gate release in end of notes.

I've implemented in JCH NP25. Thanks to Jeff I'm actually starting to get the hang of soft restart now, and I can recommend it for leads and arpeggios.

Then again, it's not going to make a tremendous difference in your tunes if you stick to any of today's common music editors. So instead of chasing after the perfect instruments, just go and make some music! :D

SDI should be able to do it.

Leticia: As I've written in posts/comments, SID-Wizard is RC/beta version yet, the Hard Restart (and other features) is still going through development. The aim is to be able to set any type of HR. If you don't like other else aspects of it I'd be glad to hear what they are specifically. And don't forget, SID-Wizard is open-source, anyone can help, just PM or e-mail me and I'll solve to give you full SVN access at sourceforge...
JCH and SDI are good editors & players, and X-SID is excellent too if you get used to their interfaces.

This is a great topic, the info/mystery about HR should be collected in one place as much as possible. Playing around with SID-hacker I found many types of HRs in different tunes, I'll try to collect and post them in a structured way.

codebase would be a good place to collect HR info.

IMHO, separate testbit and gate bit and adsr manipulations in time and space and be sidtorious!

Sometimes it's hard to restart composing after a while of doing nothing.

What's harder for you, Jeff, making some nice instruments or is it all about creativity and the right sounding melodies??

I tried now a couple of programs and X-Sid works best for me :) Does anyone have more Demotunes for X-Sid? I still need to learn much and Demosongs are good to begin with ;)
