[comp.sys.cbm] SIDs

Michelle@cup.portal.com (TRACY M WIRS) (11/06/90)

I've been doing something like that on MY C64........  SIDs.

Now, before you go into a blank stare, let me explain what I mean by a SID.
For those of you reading this who *have* Commodores, *you* know what the 
SID chip is........ it's the Sound Interface Device used to make the C64
(& C128) into a mini-synthesizer.  What *I* usually mean by a "SID" is the
MUSIC FILE created by a SID Editor (like the one COMPUTE! Books has out).

I am not sure what you mean by "alogrithmic", but if you can *write* it down
on paper, you can make a SID out of it.  What *I've* been doing (on & off)
for a little over a year is create SIDs of some of my favorite hymns & songs
----straight from the sheet music.  If there was a place on Usenet where I 
could post them, I *WOULD*!  :shrug:   One can't have everything......

I know that on Qlink there is a *VAST* SID library incorporating not only
music, but special effects & sounds as well.  On Portal, the network I now
subscribe to, also has a SID library, but it's not as extensive as the one
on Qlink.  (If you want to know more about Portal, just Email me. : )

OK, fellow Commodorians...... or whatever we call ourselves....... I've put
my bit in on what I know relating to what this gent wants.  

Anyone else?
