On the C64 you have the the SID chip, which is a synth providing noise, triangle, saw and variable width pulse waves plus you have the filters and ring modulation for that extra bit of sweetness.

So the PC version is MIDI and Amiga is tracker-based? I have also found some recordings that sounded differently, however (probably the Amiga ones - downloaded from - prefix file format again played using DeliPlayer). I've first heard the BASS music version that comes with that free download you mentioned. Does this mean that you have one MIDI track that you can play on different hardware and the same track actually sounds differetly then? And how was the MIDI created? I get the idea of how different hardware affects how the music in BASS sounds. Or did they have say 20 different waveforms ready, which they could not edit? Did they draw their own waves with the limitations you mentioned?

Sure, it was similar to MOD format (reminds me of prefixes on amiga music ?). Simply how did they compose music back then. But I have been wondering what was the differences between the C64 and Amiga and PC and modern trackers. I have already been poking around in Milky and got an idea of chiptune creation, white noise snares and wave drawing. I'm not sure which came first, but if I had to guess, Lowe probably rearranged Cummins' score for the Amiga. The music on the Amiga side comes from a custom player, probably very similar to MOD trackers/players because of the Amiga sound hardware, capable of playing 4 digital sounds samples simultaneously. Nostalgia is one thing, but wavetable synthesis does wonders to the score. The way you've probably originally heard it, would have been through the Yamaha OPL2/3 FM synthesis chip on some Creative SoundBlaster board, de facto standard of PC sound of the era. The music on PC is MIDI and how it sounds can vary greatly on what MIDI synthesizer hardware/software you're using. And currently it's released as freeware so you can freely download and play it using ScummVM. Sure we know BaSS, it was actually available on PC CD-ROM as well. The basic guidelines are: 4 channel polyphony, 8-bit samples max 128kB each. Ask further instructions if/when you're ready to go there. In MilkyTracker, you can get a pretty authentic Amiga sound and save compatible files although you still need to pay attention to things that would break compatibility. Trackers started on the Amiga and you can use many of the current PC/multi-platform trackers to save MOD files.
This info is pretty much hard to find by me, hence I was born in 1990, so I have pretty much no first-hand experience.įor cross-platform SID (C64) composing, try Goattracker. (If I am not mistaken, the Amiga music was made by Dave Lowe and the PC one by Dave Cummins)
For me, this is the second best soundtrack (after Turrican series) and would love to know some more info on how it was created. The music in them was a bit different (PC music in itsounded pretty different than Amiga music). It was available for DOS (on floppys, later the talkie version on CD32) and for Amiga. Maybe some of you know the old adventure game called Beneath a Steel Sky.

Same things there, how to re-create the sound? Through samples, VSTis, emulators? What to use? Or am I just half-dumb saying that these VSTis have half-functionality? Are there any of them that can be used to create fully-flegded C64 music? I simply don't believe that the VSTis and samples is the way to do it.

Is there a way to re-create the C64 music? Which software to use? (PC only, sorry) I tried to search for some C64 VSTis so I could use them in Renoise, but these had usually only some "partial functionality" or how to say it. However, even after some intensive search, I am still missing some points about the old-school tracking: I am pretty much familiar with the methods of modern tracking and its techniques.
