Highest times-x speed of SID tunes?
Hey there,
especially in older tunes you encounter double/quad/whatsover speed. I wonder what is the highest figure. AFAIK Barbarian is 8x speed. Is there any tune with a player routine that is supposed to be called even more often per frame?
Thx in advance

Interesting thread mates.
I may be dead wrong but as far as I can remember, back in time when Hermit coded the 'rakBIT' SID remix album interactive album cover that was a good old C64 music collection, he told me something like that his SIDRIP tool that reads the SID registers from clock to clock reported some extra wicked multispeed player code for Martin Galway's TIMES OF LORE title tune, the one that sounds like a real guitar. I can't recall it clearly but as if we talked about some 16x player or something.
iAN what do you say? You know the players inside-outside.
The rakBIT music colly includes a Richard Joseph tune, too, called 'Rimrunner'. I still can't recall clearly as Hermit told me a lot of code tech stuff that I could not really understand at the time but it was maybe an another multispeed tune, with extra wicked player, eating almost all the rastertime available. But maybe not, it might have been Galway's Times of Lore?
Check the album cover colly if you like, both tunes are included:
rakBIT
These are not the original SIDs in it but the bytestream player. |

Galway's Arkanoid is filled with multi-speed sounds at least. :)
I think Barbarian is 8 speed.. resulting in not too obvious multi-speed sounds, but a great tune overall. |

Barbarian is almost ancient - 1988.
Maybe these records you linked need to be checked. |

Arkanoid is multi-speed if it comes to sound-fx, and the samples are generated realtime (at ultra-speed), which sounds alot cooler than the alternative drum sampled version. |

Some more of Galway's songs are multispeed: wizball (and maybe parallax)
Check with my sidplay and you get a visual :) |
