Best SID instrument?
Well, topic kinda says all.
The tune itself doesn't have to be good at all, only the instrument(s). ;)
'Impulse' by Taki has some pretty awesome 16x drums.
And just to make it a bit less complicated to choose instruments: NO SAMPLES.

Sorry for the bump, but this tune not only sounds great, it actually sounds a bit "peculiar", in the way that it uses BFJNSX-tuning instead of CGKOTY, so it's tuned +30 cents (CGKOTY was made for NTSC AFAIK, and on PAL it's -60 cents). |

What do you mean, the tuning makes the song sound peculiar?.. Please explain what you mean (and I don't mean the different frequency tables needed for PAL and NTSC systems to have a perfect A-440Hz pitch, 'cause I get that :)..) |

I probably should mention that I've got perfect pitch (although a bit "passive) so song not tuned to A440 sounds "peculiar" to me, which means that depending on which tuning is used, it has a different feeling to me, e.g. CGKOTY (on PAL) sounds a lot more "dark and old-school" than AEINRW. :-)
It's more or less a subjective thing... ;-)

I thought as much, otherwise you're comment would have been strange.
Perfect pitch is great for some stuff, but a pain in the ass when the reference isn't perfect relative to your internal pitch :) .. I wonder if there's such a thing as perfect time .. "yeah, it's a 100 bmp, but when played on a NTSC system it feels like I'm having a heart attack.. Runs to bloddy fast" ..
