Logan: load example tunes, and see how the sounds are made. check everything.

and get the SID guide by Agemixer, it has all the waveforms in it and what they do.

Just "SID Guide" in the search box here on CSDB.

Want results ? work for it, else nothing will happen.

I have during my years of computing tried to do a tune or two... but I too suck at these editors as I never see a logic in these even I knoe they are build upon logics dut with a base of knowhow that is hard to learn... for me future composer were the most logical one back in the days, but I could not even understand that...

I don't know whether this is interesting news to you or not GRG, but you can save and load directly to/from your SD card (as drive 9) in the 1541U with SDI2b7.

It works normally on 1541u, as drive 8. It cant see that its a sd card, it thinks its a real 1541..

@Clonk, Yes, Jan has told me about the 1541u. It sounds very nice ( i might order one). But I like very much the fact that you can save directly to your PC hard drive. :)

Guys, I don't think you can write to 1541u's 9th drive as it's only for loading .d64 images which will appear under drive 8.

However it doesn't seem to be impossible to modify 1541u firmware so it would become to behave kinda IDE64-ish, I guess.

Drive 9 is mostly like an sd2iec drive, i.e you can load and save files directly to the filesystem on the sdcard IIRC.

booker: you need to read the manual again, TLR is right ;-)
It works perfectly.. only weird thing is that you have to use the LOAD MENU to select the device you whish to SAVE to.. and when you save to the "IEC SDCard I/F" it appends a .prg extension which can result in filenames >16 chars - That's no problem for SDI though, it just looks weird in the SDI LOAD MENU when the last char is an asterisk. - gave me a scare the first time I saw it, thinking the file was not saved correctly ;-) .. but I guess it's a necessary "evil" and a simple solution to the problem btw... as long as you remember to correct the filename when SAVEing again ;-)

Once you have enabled the 1541U "IEC SDCard I/F" as device 9 you go to the LOAD MENU and press CTRL+9, then you're on the root of the SD card. If you i.e. want to navigate to your "SDI" directory, press SHIFT+SPACE and type /SDI + ENTER (or just $+ENTER if you want a dir of all files and directories). Then ENTER again to exit the DOS command prompt and press SPACE to reload dir.
To navigate up the directory tree, you cannot use /.. but you need to use CD:..

I'm too lazy to read the entire thread right now, so please excuse my ignorance if this has already been touched..

In the filter and pulse programs, using the 8x-bf sweep mode/jump something is not working according to the docs.
If start byte is denoted "Col2" and sweep byte is "Col3", then it sweeps from value in Col2 to lo-nibble of Col3 (but only if hi-nibble of Col3 is higher than Col2) and then jumps and cuts to Col2 value of line X and continues.
If hi-nibble of Col3 is lower or equal to Col2, no sweep will occur and a jump and cut to Col2 value of line X will happen immediately.
It would appear the cx-ff mode/jump suffers equally weird behaviour, but I was too lazy to diagnose that one properly.

To my understanding these two sweep modes/jumps should behave like 0x-3f and 4x-7f with the only difference being that the sweep would go from start->hi-nibble->lo-nibble instead of the regular start->lo-nibble->hi-nibble. Is this the correct interpretation of the documentation?

oh yeah - Why can't I sweep to 0 values in the filter prg? It just wraps around? It works fine for pulse.
Is this the intended behaviour?

Thanks for the NetDrive fix, btw.. it makes it a bit easier to transfer a single tune.. no more sd-card-jockey vs. windows-buffers.
