Software Synths
There are some music tools and programs made for stock c-64 which produce sound or music, but are not necessarily using sid chip the usual way.
Such as:
SAM,
radwar speech,
the ESS speech,
Galways drums,
AndyM00's pulsetrain stuff,
Soundemons new waveform-stuff,
THCM Mod players,
Some of the Vicious Sid I and II routines,
Mahoneys many achievements,
Algorithms VQ packed players,
Censors various pwm players,
Eebens Pollytracker,
Retroskoi
We can observe that several c-64 musicians and coders have experimented with software based synthesis or sampling/compression over the years.
Most of the listed are rather recent. There must be plenty more weird sound routines done during the last 30 years that are not yet listed.
If you know of some past oddness that should be on the list - published or unpublished, please, paste a link or desrcibe. Would be interesting topic for discussion and perhaps someone gets a new idea. |

Weirdo
Uses regular $d418 samples with glissando/vibrato almost like a soft synth. (?) |

Adding Concert to the list:
Concert
The bassist in the sound-check part is actually a very simplified Karplus- or "digital waveguide-" synth. |

More or less everything by Cycleburner/Megastyle? |

GBK-Test by ATOO
An experiment I did with channel 3 envelope mixing into the D418 samples (not really synths): D418 + D41C mix
Personaly I like Galway's Arkanoid generated drums 'n bleeps alot more than the drums in Arkanoid (alternative drums). |

Quoting HeinGBK-Test by ATOO
In which form was it released? Anyone got the respective executable? |

NESsivE ATtaCK and Phasor Soundtrack HiFi are emulating a 1-bit white noise channel using $d418 samples. |

This might fit the list: M.B.S Sampling |

I've uploaded an executable.
The program actually takes 64 bytes from selected parts of the ROMs and make decent samples out of it in real-time. AFAIR, GBK relates to some algorithm, but I haven't been able to find any references.
EDIT: It's here: GBK-Test |

The GBK algorithm is mentioned in the Heins sid-link comments. It is simplified Karplus or Karplus-Strong as well.
There is a lot of unexplored potential with Karplus and digital waveguide synthesis in c-64. |
