C64/SID sample set?
Looking for samples rather than modules (hope this is still the right section).
Is there a set of 'classic' C64/SID samples out there somewhere? Hoping to re-create that slightly older-gen sound in Protracker. |

you can also use AHX soundtracker. The creation of sounds is quite difficult, but the result in chipsound is incredible :

Another option that is more high quality then AHX would be Pretracker:
https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=91409 It can get quite close to SID sound, especially when you also want to use the filters. Here is an example song as reference: [ Show youtube player ] If you want to use ProTracker you find a lot of C64 alike samples that were created with code (great quality, no noise etc) in this collection: https://aminet.net/package/mods/chip/ays-p100 Happy chipping |

Analog synthesis lives and dies with its filter. Even a filter has flaws, its flaws are celebrated and synthesizers are sold for $$$$ to have the right flaws.
That said, chip music can do the waveforms and envelopes fine. On Amiga there's what's mentioned, manual such in trackers, and programmed such in e.g. SIDMon, FC, Sonix, MusicLine. Some SID players on Amiga emulate the CPU to run the programmed instruments as close as possible, without the C64 filter (which varied greatly). To capture "the right C64 filter", you can sample a C64 with the right one according to you. Once sampled this way, the instrument is mostly 'fixed'; you lose control, even if you can treat it similarly to a chip music waveform and apply the manual or programmed envelope over it. But for the C64 too, some of the treatment was manual or programmed envelope. Once sampled, that's now baked into the sound, for better or worse. |
