What makes a good SID editor?
So which feature(s) do you think are imporant?
What do you find annoying in an editor?
I'm trying to get an idea of what would make an editor stand out...
Ofcourse I have some ideas of my own but I'd first like to hear from other composers what they like.

Well, to a certain extent :) The more control, the better. This includes changing filtertype/resonance/cutoff/pulsetable pointer etc at any given time.

I guess we could actually speak about few upgrades for Goat Tracker and that would do it :D
Ie. Hardrestart per instrument, wavetable loop indepentent vibrato, and some other rastertime hungry but neat features :) |

MIDI implementation and the ability to record fe. pitchbends and filtersweeps using transmitted CC's.
I know, this can be a lot of data but you can also store (after cleanup) the peaks/lows and interpolate between them. |

How about a adding a seperate master track that handles filter effects (through filter fx presets, channels applied to and channels triggered by) and global volume etc?
This has been on my mind for the last couple of days. |

isn´t there a 4th track in sdi?
i´m not a composer but wouldn´t i be cool to have atleast one player/editor that doesn´t care at all about rastertime or memory usage?
i guess one could squeeze some nice sounds out of the sid with such a player. the tunes would be unusable for demos, but who cares, as most sids released these days are never used in a demo anyway. think of it as something like NUFLI for the sid...

Interesting thought...
I know that Prophet64 (and MSSIAH?) export executables that do such a thing.

what stops you from doing 8-speed or whatever tunes? =)
(and the p64 player is a really bad example imho, as it needs the cpu power because it sucks =P) |

Well, their youtube video makes me definitelly not wanting to buy it :)
btw. Goat Tracker saves to .sid. Lacks saving to .prg with a driver though. (but what is PSID64 for? :D ) |
