Do the same for my crappy old 1998-99 Future Composer remake of it... and other remakes if any.

Not sure which one was earlier.. But i recall seeing it in Skruv aswell. And other RIFFS demos too (Diamonds iirc).
Still a lovely effect today imho :)

Quoting One of the Goat-Tracker masters

If wavetable space isn´t an issue consider creating the effect directly in the wavetable and call it via 8XX in the pattern editor when needed.

This is, in fact, THE way to do Hubbard appreggio slides... thanks man!

This was the first product that I remember having this "animated char - magnetic fields" -effect. I wonder who invented this and what was the evolution of this effect? The smoothness of it caught me in awe at the time, and it still is quite "hypnotic". For some reason I remembered that these were called "the magic riffs" (?)

It makes sense.

I figure i hit the arp note from lets say c#3 and then just tell SDI to slide to c#1
(tie note and 3x command i presume) and depending on the speed of the slide
and the range of the start and end notes it alternates from the base note to the
current slide note hence the wierd fx.

Combine it with some sync and ringmod it, perhaps sprinkle it with some filter ?

I think i might have done that by accident before but didn't realize what the correct term for the effect was.

Thanks for the lecture :-D (honestly, this is the kind of shit you don't find in google)

@Stainless:

If you have an arpeggio changing between note X and note Y, but ONLY apply slide to note Y. So every second time you have the slide and the other second time you have the stable note. I hope that makes a bit sense. :-)

I just received the finished sid from Stefano, would be nice to hear it used in a PROPER demo but very pleasant to listen to even as standalone. I'm really glad Dustbin is finding time and inspiration for doing more c64 tunes.

Nice question. From Dandare3 / http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=87684 :
"music composed by magnus "yngwie" wahlberg and conducted by tdm. all rights reserved by the owner..."
Can be interpreted as "TDM covered an original tune by Magnus "yngwie" Wahlberg". Probably an Yngwie J Malmsteen fan? Dunno. from http://www.tubedigg.com/biography.php?name=the-itch

"There are a few bands named The Itch. One The Itch is a band from southern Sweden. It consists of lead singer (and former Tenebre guitarist) Lukas LanderÃ¶, Magnus Wahlberg on guitar, Johan Helgesson on the drums and Tobbe Skogh on bass."
Probably a metal guitarist.

Many c64 music authors have the habit of crediting the covered original artist - even when this original artist haven't touched a c64 in his life - which is pointless: the *SID TUNE* isn't made by the original artist or even co-authored with the c64 musician.
We in HVSC are infact currently clearing some double attributions in AUTHOR fields, STIL.txt is there to report the original covered tune & artists.

Another hint about Metal_Generation.sid being made by TDM only, is the text found in http://csdb.dk/release/?id=6534 : "YNGWIE'S OPUS BY TDM OF TRIAD".

Would be nice to get some more info about Magnus "yngwie" Wahlberg.

If the tempo is fast enough you can aswell achieve the effect by just hacking in the notes manually into the pattern editor, probably in combination with 3XX if you´re using hardrestart.

c-3
b-2
c-3
a#2
c-3
a-2
c-3
g#2

etc ...

If wavetable space isn´t an issue consider creating the effect directly in the wavetable and call it via 8XX in the pattern editor when needed.

I wonder if this is really a scener, his tunes are co-credited in TDM's HVSC entries. Did he (co-)compose the tunes for the 64 or did TDM just covers?

It's kind of a partial arpeggio slide. The base note of the arp stays fixed while the rest of the notes in the arp go down. Makes that spooky sound at 0:10.

Yo!

Here comes a lame question. What is the most convenient way to copy a seq file onto a D64 image (on PC/Mac) using a command line tool (no GUI tools!). Somehow I couldn't figure out how to do it with c1541 I only get PRG files on the d64 and I can't find any particular options to tell C1541 that I want the destination file to be of SEQ type. Perhaps I missed something? Perhaps I need to use another tool? Which one?

I've always wondered WHAT ist the rob hubbard slide ? i keep hearing crazy comets.

Arpeggio slides or what is it you keep going on about ?

$tainless — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:44:06 +0100

Arpeggios sound a bit basic. Rather solid arrangement, not overly exiting but solid. Good melody 'n stuff too.

Good work.

My only gripe is the pseudostereo on the soundcloud stream.

If you got a player that has the ability to do the Hubbard slide in a decent way, you can make some pretty neat things with it. Using slide or Vibrato.... Also try it out in multispeed (4x or so). :-)

Regarding Hubbard's Crazy Comet slide effect... i.e. a simple appreggio when one part of it is sliding up or down?

In GoatTracker there isn't an actual facility to do this effect, but it is possible to cheat, although it may not be 100% accurate...

In the wavetable, put this in:

01: 41 : 00
02: 00 : 80
03: ff : 01

Set up your instrument to point at this starting wavetable pos.

Then in the speed-table you need a set of portamento/slide values where each entry is larger in value, e.g:

01: 00 : 10
02: 00 : 20
03: 00 : 40
04: 00 : 80
05: 00 : c0
06: 01 : 00
07: 02 : 00

etc..  the values vary depending how powerful you want the slide to work.

Then when you write your notes, do...

A-5 01 F04
--- -- 201
--- -- 202
--- -- 203
--- -- 204
--- -- 205
--- -- 206
--- -- 207
..etc..

This is an example for sliding down, sliding up you just replace the 200's with 100's.

A couple of disadvantages:
1.) If played as slower durations, you'll notice how ineffective it is compared to Hubbard's natural way. That's why I used a fast duration in this example. You should be able to get away with it at standard durations, like $06, though.
2.) The speed-table will use up a lot of entries depending how much of this effect you want in your tunes.

Other than that, it gives pretty much the same effect, at least I think so anyway. I used this in a couple of my tunes, e.g. "Trouble" (Attitude #10 diskmag).

As for the effect in Jeroen Tel's Cybernoid two, just play around with square waves and the sync bit. :) Two voices required of course.

I can only speak for myself, but I run 0.91 beta and I think people with IDE64 in general like to run atleast latest stable. (That would be 0.90, I think)
