SID chip goes comercial (again)
Look at this :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_One_(Alicia_Keys_song)
quote :
The song has a sample of a synthesizer of the SID sound chip found on the 1980s computer, the Commodore 64.
hope she has a sid station.. |

i got curious and took a closer look. now i'm 99.999% sure that it's a jupiter 8 in the video. :) which doesn't mean it was used on the recording of that tune. ;) |

Actually there IS a point to all this. The Commodore 64 has been around for approximately 30 years. During this time, a gigantic amount of SID music has been created by many talented composers. The Commodore has remained very popular and SID music has been very popular as well. Whether or not the Alicia Keys song in question contains fragments of SID music is a question that can be only be verified by the SID CSI team. With all the millions of people out there that have enjoyed a 64 throughout the years, it is totally possible that a number of songs within the structure of popular entertainment have integrated within them SID music or have been influenced by SID music. Never underestimate the power of the Commodore 64. |

Check the new 'Jeugd van tegenwoordig': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbhnJN8XPB4
Check more of his stuff: Bastian/Seymour Bits/Comtron/DJVT.
That producer uses the SID station for most of his work. |

I guess using a sid or an emulation of it (unknown 64 / quadra sid) etc is just different from the normal arp / moog / juno sounds is part of the reason.
I sample myself, but a snippet is one thing, taking someones whole tune is different.
There is a tune, done in reason which impressed me, it uses their subtractor synth. It's tweaked in realtime and it's not bad. I guess with the new arpegiotor in v4 you could do even more tricks. A lot of people on the forum there like the sid sound and have been messing around with things like thor in the new reason to try to get a sound a like.
if someone else besides me on here uses reason check this >

And look for a track called '1subtractorstereoversion.rps' (about 2 and a half pages down).
I was quite impressed by that and it's just using subtractor synth tweaked/automated in realtime

btw: 'the jupiter 8 part' of the alica keys song always reminds me a bit of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbzGGN7D3RI rather than the sound of the sid chip. |

higgie , the sound is probably an old synth but the one in the video might not be, as I just got CM mag this month, and I'm pretty sure it's the same keyboard, and it isn't a J8, but has the same coloured keys, so I'm guessing its another one by Roland. Although I'm not so bothered to trawl vintage synths to find out. |
