Programmer, artist and a bit of a musician at times. I'm passionate about FLOSS, linux, learning and good discourse. Love the silly and non-nonsensical, also nerding out about lots of things. Various interests and little consistency. Hoping I can meet some nice people here. #pixelart #kpop #chiptune #podenco #nmixx

While browsing #NES tunes, I came upon this #chiptune track that I really liked.

The triangle wave on the NES didn't have controls for dynamics. You could only have it at max volume or off.
Besides that you had only 2 more voices: square-like pulses that could quickly saturate when together and sound very jarring.
Yet despite all these limitations, this song sounds very rich and is nice to listen to.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@samster/116093908713088888
(1/2) Thanks for the mention Samster. My journey with SID and the Z80 started way, way back in 2002, working out how to get it to play happily when connected to a fast Zilog Z80 bus on the SAM Coupe, rather than the MOS6510 it was designed for.
2003 saw the first commercial version of my SID Interface for the SAM Coupe. It's had a few tweaks in the years since and is still available.
In 2020 I was asked if the interface would work on the RC2014 (Thanks Shiela!). Replied no, but then a few weeks later, yes!, having redesigned the interface in a version specifically for the RC2014 bus and integrating an interrupt controller for 50/60/100Hz - ideal for use with other soundchips too! This version has also had a few tweaks over the last six years since release, currently on v1.3.
Can't add photos due to the 'quote' so will add a reply to this post with photos... (Nice to see this now implemented in Mastodon!)
