One of the benefits of using keys is obviously the faster workflow when someone gets familiar with them. The good news is that for the basic composing not so many keys should be learned (if they are well defined and logically arranged in the tracker), and the trackers with mouse-support (FT,GT) make it even easier to work with them. Well, average users got used to the mouse quite a while ago, so I understand that it’s strange at 1st glance. Perhaps many of users who are unfamiliar with trackers or native C64 tools will be bewildered at lots of shortcut keys. For example the lack of standardized analog synthesis and corresponding effects, or the lack of orderlist for each tracks that so requires many pattern copy/paste tasks and causes memory-hungriness, compared to C64. On the other hand a chord progression and voice-leading can better be visualized with piano-roll…Įssentially there are some flexibility aspects of the FT-like trackers, that are behind the C64 trackers. Plus it doesn’t require mouse, and that’s an advantage on C64 of course.
Both Piano-roll and tracker input methods has their advantages but the tracker gives a better, more compact overview of the music content (notes, effects) and has an automatic quantization by definition. Later I composed music with sequencers’ Piano-roll tools too. Yes, I got familiar with trackers by FT2 on my first 386 machine, not on the C64.

NES Sound Driver & Library, mck, MMLTalks or MMLshare). What are the merit of tracker as music editor? And How do you think Music Macro Language (MML)? MML is a popular composing method since 8-bit era in Japan. But tracker is still unknown and mysterious tool for us IMO. Also it must be mentioned LSDj by Mathman has been used for a long time by Japanese. (You know, SID-Wizard has many similarities to GoatTracker.)Ĭan I ask you about music tracker? In Japan there are musicians who use Milky Tracker, MODPlug Tracker, or Renoise though the number of them is much smaller than euro. And last but not least to run on real C64 and make it possible to import/export other formats like XM,MID, and import SNG. On the editor part I wanted a big screen-focus (25 rows for each track) and more effects on the same rows than usually possible. Some of my main points in SID-Wizard was to add some innovative features (like chords, keyboard-tracking) to the basic working, while staying inside the constrains of player-code size & speed. How different is the direction of development of SID-Wizard from those trackers? What are peculiarity of SID-Wizard you call a comprehensive native C64 tool? SDI, GoatTracker, CheeseCutter, CRD-Tracker and Hein’s one (besides, defMON?).

So came the idea to code my own tracker which might have everything essential out-of-the-box…įortunately many SID trackers are developed even today after C64 turned 30, e.g. Ended up with X-SID but somehow I couldn’t compose long tracks with this otherwise very good tool. Then experimented with other SID tools as well, and found out none of them was really my ultimate tool. I needed more flexible tracker than the 3SID tracker so I started examining DMC.

Then I found out that having only 3 tracks is an interesting challenge from composer perspective and I realized how to tweak good-sounding sounds out of the SID.

I didn’t start to code it to release c64 music as the main focus, but to compose faster and easier / more reliably than on the buggy PC (I was so angry that I didn’t use PC at home for a while)… The 3SID tracker‘s main motivation was to compose music for my rock band in 2008, which I thought would need more than 3 tracks. What is rational reason not only you compose music with the chip, but code tools for the chip? I think SID has an important place in your life undoubtedly. I got some (especially Hungarian) demos from friends on floppies before, my favourites were Revolution from Chorus and Mergezo Anyag 3 from Profik made in the middle nineties.īefore SID-Wizard once you coded 3SID tracker. When I got back my C64 in 2008 (thanks to finding out it has an analog-synthesizer sound-chip) and started using the internet it was a surprise for me to see people still making awesome productions for our beloved machine. 2002, and until 2008 I was not aware about this huge fan-base of it. I got my C64 in the late 90’s but I sold it in ca. When and where did you get to know the demoscene? Tell us groups, sceners, and products have become motivation for your creation. Please introduce yourself briefly for us. (Akaobi) Hi, Hermit! Thanks for taking the time for this interview. But I think it is also worthy of his limitless lucid intelligence. He often uses the word “flexibility” about his tracker.

Recently I translated the manuals of the tool into Japanese. I had an interview with Hermit, the creator of SID-Wizard.
