I’ll see if I can dig up the info, and an installer for it. I don’t think ReFX sells it anymore, but I have a license and don’t use it.

It’s a full SID VST, and is SUPER EASY to make sounds on, and then you can just dump the sounds digitally. Probably the BEST way though most expensive, is to find a SID Station.Īnother BEST way would be the ReFX QuadraSID VST.
It can do just about anything “Chip” short of multi-operator FM type stuff. I generally run it into my Black Box, sample a few seconds, then chop out single hits. It’s cheap, simple, and not only makes great sounds, but rhythmic patterns. (probably second only to FM Composer)Īnother great tool (and it’s not a SID, but makes similar sounds minus the analog filter) is the Glitch Storm from Spherical Sound. They also made Edlib (FM tracker for MSDOS) that is EXCELLENT for FM tunes. I am liking it and it definitely has potential. There is a LOT about this tracker that I didn't cover, but too many potential SID.

These guys always had some of the most amazing sounds, and the editors are at least somewhat friendly. Today I taught myself how to use GoatTracker, this is the first thing I made in it. Quick improvised tutorial, but hopefully it's enough to get people started. If you're just interested in using them to write music, that's probably not a big deal, but if you're looking to integrate the C64 in a live performance context you'd probably be better off looking at the previously mentioned MSSIAH cartridge.There are tons of modern tools, but IMO some of the best ones ever were the trackers and editors from Jens Christian Huus of The Vibrants. The biggest drawback with both of these options is that you'll be pretty limited in terms of improvisation. So, I'd say give them both a shot and get a sense for the capabilities of the chip and whether or not you enjoy working with it. If you end up going with the Goat, you can export your songs to formats that will play back directly on a C64 as well (.SID. The major difference is that CyberTracker runs on the C64 directly, while GoatTracker runs on Windows / Linux / OSX. I've used them both and they're both good options, especially for someone just getting started with SID music. Has anyone had any experience with either of these? It seems Cyber Tracker and Goat tracker are the most common. After weeding through pages and pages of c64 fan sites and youtube vids, I've found 2 popular softwares.
So practically I guess the options are you don't stop playing so then the noise becomes part of the character or you use a noise gate and it will sound like you are using ione but you get silence when not playing One issue is one of the definite flaws imho is the computer is big time noisy. You also have a couple options that re-house just the chip in either a built or more DIY support housing.
#Goattracker to video mod#
It's more or less effortless like someone just said, more or less because many people seem to suggest you mod the out for better sound and circuit protection as well as they offer an option to piggyback a second chip and that requires more surgery. This would be THE option if you have a whole C64. There are a couple real options like the mentioned MSSIAH. Refx makes a plugin I bought a while back. The C64 SID is grouped with game chips but to me it's in it's own class because it's sort of a flawed (mostly?) analog synth on a chip.
