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.

Good overview and fast response. That's why I stick with Goattracker; all in one screen, no page flipping, esc keys and all those time consuming clickerdiclicks... Editing sounds while playing is also nice.

I read in another thread about arpegios on track editing (protracker style) vs arpegio tables. I think editing arpegios on track is alot faster and easier, but can become messy in the end.

I'm not too fond of Goattracker's vibrato, but that might also be me.

I agree with what Hein said about keeping the stuff on one (or two) screen(s) as much as possible to restrict excessive "navigation" etc... In addition to that, I also like to be able to control any aspect of the sound in any way at any time. ;) (Dunno if you meant to discuss strictly only the editor/gui, or if you include the player in what you call "editor" in your question.)

Okay, that comment was perhaps not entirely serious, but in a way I am not kidding. The things that put me off in other editors, such as JCH, was always some limitation when it came to controlling sound. For example, in JCH I could not let the filter sweep separately from instrument trigs, and also, JCH wouldn't let you trig filter programs from the track itself. In the end, I had to code my own editor to get what I wanted, and indeed I can do anything I want now with it. ;)

Obviously the philosophical question whether we're talking about a duration or a tracker based editor should be discussed first.

Depending on that, the answer to what's annoying and whats important might differ :-D

So which feature(s) do you think are imporant?


- sound of the player

- no export bugs, it is nice to have the same music/sounds in the packed file as in the editor

- powerful packer

- small rastertime consumption player

- note/instrument playback when a note is fed into the editor

- possibly one-screen layout

- realtime playback tracking

- setting instruments on the fly

- simple, straightforward interface


What do you find annoying in an editor?

- Can't really tell on my part. Same as with guitars, literally I never get annoyed by them. Maybe, some export bugs that turned me mad a couple of times...

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

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...

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)

w00t, cant change the filter type in the table? I think it doesn't click if you change only 1 bit per frame (or tick, for that matter).

Resonance sweep sounds like a good idea, despite it's low range.

Some MoFo stole it from Jeff and spread before it was fully functional so - as an obvious and only move - Jeff left it in the way as it was at the moment and moved on to developing a new and improved music tool.

So as an unfinished project, some things might not be working as they should, that's the downside. But it's still a pretty straightforward tool, one of the most impressive ones I've seen so far.

Yep. DMC v5 also doesn't have it (you have to set FLT and FRQ in the pattern) and to make it even more annoying only one voice can be filtered :D

6581 generates an audible click on filter type change. (similarly to volume change (also for 8580). And 6581 does click badly on fast flt type changes.

I've tried out this Hein, and it got quite boring and subtle. Didn't enhance sound design/quality at all. Quite uncontrollable is the correct word. The best is to create your own tables of modulations. And it is only the 3rd. SID voice you get the ADSR / Waveform output from anyway.

A resonance sweep/table is designed for the newer player, though. I find that useable.

Hæ? Doesn't Goattracker have selectable hardrestart for each instrument? I find this the hardest part in the design in a player. I got headaches programming this part, but found a neat solution in the end. Some players don't trigger hardrestart correctly when swapping between instruments. Did alot of thinking 20 years ago upon this. :)

@Booker. What you mention in your IE is doable in SDI. There's alot of rastertime hungry new features. ;)

The new BullSID _HAS_ followplay. Not that people like me need that - having done music and players in mc-monitors and assemblers back in the days. ;-)

Got some details written down on it - both for the
player and for the editor. Have tried to keep it simple
sofar - So now that much in-depth explanations there.


http://www.6581.dk/_new_BullSID32.txt


There are however still some things that I might add or change in the player itself.

Oh, got a few older screenshots here:

If I could chose between a resolution of 0-255 vs 0-2047, I wouldn't Think Twice. That's Just the Way It Is. :)

Fact: on the 6581 it gets sweeter, but not as noticable as on the 8580, where the curve is more rough, and this gives a dramatic enhancement.

As an example, some of you should check out Galway, Follin, Joseph, Dunn tunes, whom I find is almost the only ones using 11-bit filters. That's why Galway basses is so extremely fat and juicy. Check out filter basses on Game Over, Microprose soccer and Combat School. Dunn: The Untouchables and Total Recall (probably the best example). Peter Clarke: Ocean Loader 3 / Tai-Pan. Follin: Bionic Commando (intro especially).

You can actually sweep 8 steps between cutoff 00 and 01. What about that? And so on. Giving you 2047 possibilities. Using cutoff 00 on a 8580 is normally "dead", but not 00,1

Sorry for all these edits. Also Reyn's Last Ninja 3 uses this filter resolution (player coded by Falco Paul).

Actually this is the whole point for me doing a new SDI player with enhanced routines.

GT2, with its dynamically compilable player, has essentially become unmaintainable. It's too scary to touch. Compounding this is the amount of hardware support (catweasel, the recent hardsid units) contributed by others, which I have no way to test.

If I had the time and personal motivation, I'd rather do a new editor from scratch, with nothing but emulated cycle-exact output path (compile to a final executable each time playback starts.) Thumbs up to Jeff & Geir and everyone working on new players / editors!

I'm wondering what makes you not motivated to do so? There are so many people already using Goat Tracker! Have you scanned HVSC to see how many tunes were already done with GTv1 and GTv2? 2060. To compare: with Geir_Tjelta/SIDDuzz'It: 588

It's as simple that I don't need a better or different musiceditor myself, as I'm extremely concerned about memory & rastertime, so making a "musician's" editor holds no personal interest. In fact for my purposes, NinjaTracker2.03 is so far the most optimal balance of features & performance and I currently don't know how to improve on that.

Plus, I don't get much of fulfillment or sense of accomplishment from doing featurerequests, I just get bitter :) I honestly see no way how I could change that fundamental personality trait.

@Jeff. I'll do that with just a couple of virtual beers. ;)

@Cadaver. That's a pitty. Isn't possible to just implement small bits of code in your current player source? Updating the filter to 11-bits doesn't take more than minutes to do. The editor itself don't need any modifications because of that. The editor GUI I know is PC-based, but the music driver? Goattracker is a kickass baby of yours, you know.

@Booker and Stainless. I've been thinking of getting a C64 keyboard to the PC, as I'm hopelessly hitting the wrong keys on a PC keyboard (F-keys is especially). So I'll stick to the real deal until then. Anyone having info about a USB C64 keyboard for PCs ?

Geir: updating player code, in the case of filter as it's separate from everything else, is straightforward. However to support 11-bit filter fully there should be 11 bits wide data field for at least "set cutoff", possibly also for "modulation step", and then we start dealing with conversion of old songs, toggleable 8-bit mode for those who still want the old behaviour etc.

For that reason 11-bit filter for GT2 would be better off implemented as a thirdparty hack, that simply wouldn't have to care :)

This is how I designed it, and would work in the current Goattracker player too, with its design as it is.

Filter table:

Fx xx xxx= cutoff 0-7ff, 4 byte command call, next two bytes is..
yy xx yy=resonance, xx= bandpass

Sweep one step up (ADC)
01 xx xx= speed

Sweep one step down (SBC)
81 xx xx= speed

FA xx xx= execute jump xx times, then proceed

FF xx xx= jump

You see, no need to expand the table because of the 11-bit setting. It is more than enough with the range of 00-ff for the speed.

Don't think of supporting old songs. Let the people adjust the tables themselves for the new settings. Otherwise you just get a headache. This is not gonna give us tits'n'chicks, or free beer on the table anyway. ;)

Well, speaking of hacking... it would be beneficial if you could provide a little guide on the library requirements and setups in order to recompile GT. Me being a C programmer as well, even I'm finding it hard to set up in order to do some hacking for my own benefit. :)

There are recompiling instructions in GT2's readme, which tell the fairly basic requirements (MinGW compiler + SDL development libraries)

I know it's not a step-by-step tutorial on setting up or using them, which I understand can be slightly painful, but I don't think that's my job :)

A good editor is also an assembler with a decent music routine. ;-)

I'd like to see an editor that lets me whistle a melody in the microphone of my Datel 8-bit sampler and turns it into a compo winning tune.

No, I can do that remarkably well in tune, although I gotta practice the arpeggios.

- if it's written outside Europe
- if you can edit by placing notes on a staff
- if there is no modulation of sounds at all
- if there's an extensive library of folk or religious songs made with it

I guess an Aussie will need to create reasonable editor then.

A good editor is one you code yourself to make it just the way you want it to be. ;-)
Ofcourse you'll need to know how to code.

lol.

I have something like that, and it's on a cartridge (even worse, they got paid for it).

It can't even save or load anything either. Haha! Music Maker I think it's called.

EDIT:
Stupid-music-program-coders: "Do we need load and save options?"... "Nah!, this is total crap anyway"
