Music for an Imaginary Martial Arts Game, entirely using MIDISID
This is an original tune that goes back a long way and if you rummage through my older videos you'll find versions (sometimes called Eastern Promise) played using real C64 (3 voices). This time I wanted to use MIDISID and make a multitracked version using SID voices. It still doesn't use a large number of voices. There are six tracks in Logic, including two percussion tracks which somehow aren't shown in the video, and I'm mostly using polyphonic mode but I think the chords just have two or three notes. The only effect I've applied is a little reverb on the recorder. The rest is as captured from the back of MIDISID.The advantage of multitracking is that you can set the relative levels of the voices, which is hard to do with SID when you're using different sounds using different waveforms.
