Jeeeeeeeeze that tune has haunted me for years, seriously I dont know how many times I have hummed that tune and wondered where the heck it came from. Now I know I must have heard it while my older brother played that game on his C64 mannnny years ago. OctaMed for the Amiga used to have a command used on a per note basis that all you did was play a base note and the effect played the next 2 keys like a monophonic keyboard in either major or minor dependant on the value for the effect to give you the illusion of a "SID" chord, it was tempo based but very effective with "chip" sounds rather than samples :)

So I really liked what you did with the original video where you replayed songs-as-is-identically with the same synth chip as used in the original song. I think this is much more fascinating to see how they constructed complex pieces rather than seeing how you might re-create the songs with some other instrument.

It's only barely related to the subject of the video, but yeah, I alway found the result of the PAL/NTSC timing thing fairly fascinating, mostly because I tended to find certain songs or soundtracks sometimes sounded better when played at a different tempo then intended. Splatterhouse 2 on the Mega Drive still, to this day, sounds much better on a PAL console to me, because I feel the compositions lend themselves better to a slower tempo then the hyped up, far faster speed they were likely composed in originally. S'Why it's a never ending source of torment to me that almost all rips of the music floating around are of the NTSC version. That aside, I'd like to say that Im really glad to have stumbled upon both this and your original account by a chance reccomendation from a friend; I've been a big VGM head for many years, and have in the last couple really got stuck into the tech side of how the chip based stuff works (both out of general interest and for one of my own projects), and your videos offer some great insight into that whole area. I highly reccomend checking out the PSS-680 sometime as well, as the synthesizer capabilities are actually fairly deep for what is still ulltimately a toy keyboard, and accidentally makes it a fairly reliable machine for producing chiptune music with.

I think the snare sound uses 'release' setting , is there any software that can tweak the sid more like the synth chip that it is eg ADSR attacj decay sustain release of each voice can perhaps be adjusted like in other synths in the adsr envelope. also filters can further adjust the 'voice'

This was SUPERB !!!!. Here we got BOTH computers, the PAL ones (PAL N) were locally assembled and the PAL N conversion was made here (it was a mod over the European model, not sure is PAL-M or B). But many got NTSC machines as well. TV sets were converted to NTSC since imported gear was NTSC, like VCRs. A very few TVs offered both systems. Funny thing is that Mains Freq is 50, so even the NTSC ones was forced to run on 50Hz. The mains Hz is used in several parts of the system (that way one of the voltages used is AC and not DC). I have used BOTH of them and YEP, the difference can ge HUGE. I like the PAL version more, probably because we played more time on the PAL ONE. also the 60 Vs 50Hz "sound" (Not sure is SID can use mains as reference for sound) is different. No just speed thing. In some games is not that notorious. Probably the ones with simple music like ... for example .... time tunnel. Mostly "beep" type sound.

The sound at 1:48 actually contains arpeggio effects, which is almost 8-bit music exclusive, and it's mainly for creating chorus with a single sound channel. Too bad we can't get that kind of effect with most modern synth as it requires very fast (like, 50ms) note switching which is not quite a common function on modern synths.

+野龍(FlameRat) I don't know if I could call it an arpeggio or not being it was not a chord being produced. Rather it was the same note on a different octave being alternated.

8-Bit Keys At least on the NES soundtrack editor Famitracker, it's called arpeggio. And, sometimes it is used to create chords. Remember when you said you tried to play Chopstick on a monophonic keyboard? This uses almost the same mechanic but the note swapping is a lot faster.

Well, you could hook up an effects board or pedal. But since I don't know an effects board of that time that would be in the price range of these keyboards I think it is right not using effects and I don't know an effects board in that range nowadays. I wished they would have packed PSR-32 keys on the PSS-470 witch pitch-bend. I guess it would be possible with circuit bending now.

I purchased a PSR-32 at a local Service Merchandise back in the 1980's. The store chain is long gone, but I still own & use the 32. I gravitate towards the "green" organ as it sounds pretty decent. The "strings" and "cello" are disappointments as they sound nothing like stringed instruments. The keyboard is what I use to practice on for when I am needed as a substitute organist at my church. Plug in my Sony headphones and we're good to go. 🙂

I see what you mean. The Linux kernel doesn't *need* ALSA to function. It doesn't need SysV init or systemd either, does it? It's all modular, so you can hardly tell if anything is native here. Basically, the kernel is the part that the CPU can run in 16-bit real mode, that is to boot the system.

After watching Hubbard perform this song live on a couple of occasions (there are several vids of that around the web), it would seem like he anticipated the NTSC speed-up, because he performs it faster. Or maybe that's just a by-product of his main audience being in the US, and they're just used to that version, so he adapted?
