sack-c0s Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 It's been a while (it turns out releasing a game for modern platforms is actually hard work), but I finally have time to catch my breath, go on holiday, and go back to playing with 8/16-bit stuff. The bassline may or may not be accurate for C64 fans - that depends on if you listened to the original on a 6581 or 8580. It's closer to the way it sounds on my 8580 and personally I prefer it that way, but YMMV. 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only one of the patterns is playing too loud in relation to the rest of the tune. I also miss the whirly slides inbetween. The original tune has a lot FX included.

emkay Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Btw: Isn't it interesting how different ONE POKEY can sound? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnurrikowski Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I like both, composition and instrumentation. Thanks for the superb tune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 for now I feel of the humble impression that POKEY already does a better job than SID in this tune by the expression of the differnce between calm and restless. The contrast is breathtaking at least to me. I wonder who would share this opinion. And, yes I'd like to have more control over that. But programming at 50Hz is really giving almost no space ....

emkay Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hm... I wonder what is going on with sack-c0s. He's posting the video after long time not writing here, and disappeared the same way. Everything ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's posting the video after long time not writing here, and disappeared the same way. Everything ok? Everything is fine. The short version is: *Just released a game in my dayjob, and everything was crazy busy getting things working, and then along come a few thousand players who find new ways to break stuff, so more work to fix things. *I Posted this as a bit of a break, literally just before leaving for the airport because I had some free time. *Then I went on a long overdue holiday (Which wasn't cancelled this time), which is where I am now. Also trying to buy a house, so that's also chaos. Once things calm down some more normal service will be resumed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why I didn't notice it before, but now I see which part you mean. I just lowered the volume on that part and it does sound better as a result. The slides and effects are taking a bit of experimentation so I'm still working on those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
