Yesterday I saw a short demo of the Playsoniq cartridge at MRC HQ and I must say I was really impressed. Especially hearing that characteristic SID sound on an MSX is certainly very, very cool. Of course being able to play a bunch of SID files already is very nice, but why not take it a step further?

What about creating or extending an existing MSX tracker with SID support? I think especially the combination of OPLL and SID would allow you to make wonderful 'retro' tunes. I would certainly try and make a bunch of songs for it. Would I be the only one, or are there more MSX composers out there who think this is an interesting idea?

Compose with the utilities already at hand: use a C64 tracker and good old Moonblaster, and mix the two on the MSX. =)

Especially hearing that characteristic SID sound on an MSX is certainly very, very cool.

Emulation of the typical SID effect in BASIC:

10 sound 8,8
20 sound 1,0
30 '
40 sound 0,108
50 gosub 90
60 sound 0,54
70 gosub 90
80 goto 40
90 t = time
100 if time < t + 1 then 100
101 color ,c : c = c xor 4
110 return

The SID got waveforms. Whereas the famous drrrrr can be done in software.
Also ADSR can be done in software.

On topic: Arkos Tracker has support for SID on the roadmap. I believe we reported about this tracker a while ago. Hmmz, no FM.

Arkos Tracker is such a nice program to use. I wish it had more channels/tracks, a pluggable sound generator interface etc. It would make for a nice tool for creating SCC songs.

I'd like an expanded version of Vortex Tracker II for that.
There's a chance we'll get that, too. Would be great.
