multispeed

Hello everybody,

Just to be sure: Multispeed means that the SID is updated with new parameters not once per frame/tick but multiple times per frame/tick, right? And this clearly affects the sound? What songs would be good examples of the multispeed-effect? Is "ACE 2" by Rob Hubbard multispeed?

Thanks in advance for any answers!

...and Ace2 isn't multi-speed.

Well known multi-speed tunes are ZigZag by Anthony Crowther and Rubicon by Jeroen Tel/MoN.

Another good example of multispeed-music is Zig-Zag from Anthony "Ratt" Crowther, the first example of multispeed I heard, and a good one too.

The real innovator must have been Martin Galway, using multispeed in the highscore-tune for Wizball, right?

How many parameters must be updated in order for it to be multispeed? ;)

And at what distance in (raster-) time? Fred Gray's player does something like

lda #$41
sta $d404
dec $d404

Is that multispeed? ;)

Hagar did multispeed in Rainbow Dragon, by calling the player 2 times after another.

Sorry, not Hagar, but Anthony Lees offcourse :-)
Michael Winterberg did multispeed-sounding tunes, by using cia timer.

The first multispeed tune i ever heard was /Crowther_Antony/Centurions_Power_X_Treme.sid - it came before Zig Zag.

Fine with me Jeff, no need to argue your expertise in multispeed composing. 8th Frame is still awesome, everytime I play that to people who are not into it they say something like "bah, digi samples!" :-)

Another good example of multispeed is /VARIOUS/S-Z/Taki/Impulse.sid (16x)
This drumset is simply amazing!
