I love reviving threads 10 months old :-)

Anyway, I wanted to thank you for ripping the SID for me: this IS the song I am looking for, and the information on the original source will be helpful in tracking down the author.

I actually found the game with the Abyss intro and used Vice to record capture the sound and convert it into an MP3, but this SID is MUCH better.  Thank you again.

BTW, I'm using DeliPlayer2 to play MODs and SIDs in Windows.  Does anyone use a better one, maybe one that actually allows me to change timings?  Also, what about a Java (specifically J2ME) SID player?

[edit]: I just found the timing controls in DeliPlayer :-P

Heh! And not forgetting the same chip (or clone) was also in the Amstrad CPC series, Sinclair ZX Spectrum and... gasp... Atari ST! :-)

EDIT: Scenetone... Fantastic, was hoping for something like this!!! Downloading to my phone now!

I have two AY-3-8912 chips on a anti-static foam block.  I picked them up from a Radio Shack on clearance many many moons ago.  Initially I had planned to use them on a music board I wanted to build for my 64.  It was to have 16 SIDs and the two AYs as well.  Would have been a fun project.

I have searched for this without luck. I'm asking here because my comfort level with this community seems to exceed the necessity to break into another forum to ask a "stoopid noob" question. And I know that some here are involved in the scene already.


No question is a dumb question, especially not C= related questions. AO will always be C64 friendly, if I have a word in the matter:-D

The only suggestion I have is in the future this probably belongs in Alternative Operating Systems forum.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

Heh! 16 SIDs??! :-)   Ever heard of the word "overkill"?!  :-D

And with all those SIDs able to generate good square waves, I wonder if you'd have found any use for the AYs?

24 voices per channel is not overkill!
