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If you know of some past oddness that should be on the list - published or unpublished, please, paste a link or desrcibe.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. |

I guess this counts for other Silas Warner/Muse games too!? |

Space Taxi Seems to be toggling filter on/off for audio channel 1 while it has full square wave and PWM selected. Is it a PWM sample with filter on/off or some other mechanism? Anyway, since it is on oscillator+filter, it should work also with 8580?
Space Taxi is by Silas Warner, would be interesting to take a look at the other games. |

no idea :) A.C.E. is another one that plays samples in unconventional ways (didnt investigate further yet, my guess is that it uses the noise waveform somehow) |

that made me wonder as well - as it clearly doesnt work on 8580 at all :) |

Perhaps something like turning the testbit on/off? |

Customer:"I can't play samples on my C-64"
Support:"Have you tried turning the test bit on and off again?" |
