C64 Rob Hubbard's Knucklebuster oscilloscope view

[@canecreek00]

Boy does this brings back memories, the SID certainly got me into Electronic music.

[@nikamota8658]

This is probably the finest music video I have ever watched,not only amazing music but incredible visuals as well :)

[@luddehall]

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this. Childhood memories and Rob Hubbard was the KING of them all!

[@luddehall]

mange takk fra meg. ser frem til mer c-64-oscilloskop fra deg!

The Wizzard of MOS...

[@X1L3]

One of my favourite c64 tracks. I love the game intro track too when you first press fire.

[@kixxalot]

This tune is actually new to me, and it rocks. The oscilloscope visuals also really suit the music! Thanks for your work!

[@floodlandbbs]

Thanks Rob for this song! Certainly one of the best of your masterpiece!

This is awesome, please make some more!

[@fuzzface100]

This was an absolutely terrible game on the C64 but the music was mindblowing. I actually bought it purely for that reason!

[@daibonehead]

Same here. Amazing tune.

[@scottbreon9448]

To be honest a lot of bad (and/or mediocre) games back then had great music. Look at the Last V8 and Miami Vice, two other crap games with awesome music..

[@SendyTheEndless]

I love how the portamento looks.

[@koyvon4455]

This is a banger xd

[@daibonehead]

I purchased this game for the music.

[@darkduo197]

I'll be honest...I don't remember this one BUT what brought me here was the fact that Matt Gray (Last Ninja 2) is going to remake this very tune if the £75K stretch goal is reached in his Kickstarter campaign! Here's the link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/1289191009/reformation-c64-track-remakes-by-matt-gray-last-ni

[@darkduo197]

***** Well, if you take into account the 10% that Kickstarter takes, and then the cost of materials involved. What's left is actually not much for a well known, well respected and accomplished composer to record over 30 tracks to a high production standard (which he has already demonstrated: soundcloud.com/mattgrayc64/matt-gray-last-ninja-2-central).

[@darkduo197]

***** Yes the original Kickstarter goal was for £25K but that only covers the 16 remakes of his own tunes AND the entire Last Ninja 2 soundtrack. It's the stretch goals that make things more interesting - for me, the £75K would be amazing because he would remake one of the Ocean loaders.He would also bring in Chris Huelsbeck, Eirik Suhrke and Audun Sorlie to remake other SIDs.

[@jmp01a24]

Perhaps you don't remember this song because it's the INGAME music - not the TITLE music that starts the game. Knuclebusters was the FIRST game made by the, by then, upcoming homecomputer demo duo known as PSY & MAT.

[@jerther_]

***** I was thinking the same thing. People have been doing remakes for free on dwellingofduels.net for years. I've listened to the demonstration, it's quite awesome still.

[@richardikin]

To think the C64 is almost 40 years old!

[@hankus253]

Definitely different!

[@harmey]

That drop at 15:23 tho...

[@misterdressler5758]

Listen to the entire piece if you haven't yet

[@demoscenes]

Did you use a real C-64 for this? I mean then you can actually output each individual voice, run them into a multi channel oscilloscope, and record :) However, awesome idea!

[@Spitko]

Out of curiosity, why do you record this in 3 passes instead of just using three scope channels?

[@RolfRBakke]

This, and other emulators I know, have only one output.

[@6502ftw]

Rolf R Bakke The actual SID also only has one output as well; if you were to try to record this from a real C64, you'd have to do the same.

[@cloerenjackson3699]

Rolf R Bakke I like it. It isn't something I had thought of myself. It clearly shows the different waveform types, the envelope shape, the effect of ring modulation and how wave types are mixed in series to produce different instrument sounds. It would be great to have a wave output from a sampler.

[@The_average_gamre]

do warhawk next

[@anthonyleighton4754]

Very creative .....and doesnt repeat ....consideing it is 17 minutes long....

[@SteinErikDahle]

Morsom sak. Var ikke helt forferdelig å høre på. Når kommet platen?

[@josteinkallevik]

Kommer bare på chip :) hehe.

[@adroharv9213]

It's a bloody superb piece up to 2.58 but the theme introduced here just doesn't cut it for me in comparison to how remarkable it all sounds before that. I'm sure I'll be called out on such a remark but just in terms of consistency the first part is much stronger than anything that follows it. Still a great achievement regardless
