Hehe, I should have three testicles then. I'm not agree with that on the sound front. The 128k AY chip made some rather nice noises. True, the 48k beeper sounded truly f*cking awful, much like that Gargling Hamster. On balance, I like both the SID and the AY. The SID is capable of so much more, but...

Homer is told that he hasn't got long to live:

Homer: So according to this I'll live to be ... Forty-Two? Oh, that's horrible! I won't even live to see my children die!

Childish, silly but VERY bloody funny.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but it was new one for me. The further you read, the more you will chuckle - the picture of Sir Clive at the end is a classic!

Sounds like Bravehart or Robroy or summat like that? Sorry - took 2 guesses there - I'll go with the first...

Is it Braveheart?

Tonka

Highlander?...

Most soundcards should now have a 'record what you hear' option in the volume control section for windows (at least that's what it's called on the Audigy). To record a whole track it would be best to select 'record what you hear', set your sample editor (Cool edit etc) recording and then open up Win...

I used to think hardware synths to be dead. I had to think again. My Virus KC is everything but dead: beside freeing cpu time on the PC for synthesis calculations, there's still nothing on the software side sounding like it (neither Virus Powercore, wich basically sounds like a Virus A). And.... wh...

Hi K.

A better explanation here:

Last I knew, Chris Abbot @ c64audio.com had a bunch of Hardsids to sell. If you want to get one, that will be the quicker route if you are UK based (IF he still has any)

Hardware is officially dead Well, ahem..... i won't say "hardware is dead". I (of course) meant with regards to hardware synths as an upgrade option from the sample based sequencing software that I recommended. To declare that ALL hardware is dead, whist typing into a PC would be rather s...

Renoise ( http://www.renoise.com ) is all you need to make a good remix. Hardware is officially dead, so if you want to upgrade from samples, just get some VST's - the better ones are now virtually indistinguishable from hardware anyway. For re-creating the C64 sounds, I recommend Linplug Albino or ...

Hi K. The Harsid will do exactly what you are asking via the free Hardsid Midi software it uses. You can load in a .sid file and the software will display each sid channel on screen. You than have to do a bit of searching to find the sound you want. Once you find it, you can save it as a patch and p...

No, not a warez link - this is official.

Propellerheads have decided to make it freeware

For those who don't know, Re-Birth is software emulation of 2 TB303's, and an 808 & 909 drum machine.

Enjoy

Dan, Dan, he's our man, if he couldn't get it... well, somebody else probably would have

Your turn M8

Tonka

Nope. 4 syllables.

1,2 &3) Sounds like name of 80's duo Vince Clarke & Andy Bell
4) Sounds like the place I go to sleep every night (amongst other things... but not every night... more like every month)!

Close chaps. It IS a David Lynch film (his finest, in fact)
