  3. C64 SID

    The SID CMOS IC in the C64 delivers an interesting eight bit sound colour in the C64

    When I first heard the C64 SID as a kid it was nothing to throw your hat at. I've had experiences with concert piano's, tenor saxophones, percussion instruments in the electric range professional synths, bass guitars so I knew this bleep bloop ssshtt IC could never sound the way of the pro musical hardware, especially not the acoustic instruments.

    Last Ninja I

    It was when I heard the music of Last Ninja I knew that with it's severe limits, the Sound Interface Device has something special to offer. The composer of the music of this game did something marvelous.

    He used arpeggio techniques to make the SID play chords

    • SID does not play polyphonic sound
    • Arpeggio gives the illusion of chords due to the rapid succession of notes played
    • Iconic music was spawned with Last Ninja
    • Unique arpeggio chords created on the SID are still seeked by those who were kids in that period
    • Others copied the technique and a cult music genre was born
    • People still create SID chords on emulated C64's to this day, since the machine is long gone in the anals of history

    Background & history

    Personal POV

    • Being brought up with acoustic instruments of all kind, I know how good and a great instruments should sound
    • I have perfect pitch
    • I can hear up to the 1/100 of a Hz if a instrument is in tune
    • It's annoying when instruments are out of tune for me.
    • That distuned instrument, sounds like a kakaphony of cats squealing making the played music horrific in my head
    • I came with a high level of raw musical talent enabling me to easily pickup all different kinds of acoustical instruments
    • Behind a piano, without any formal training, I could easily play a song in minutes with the chords and the lead tune in a good manner
    • I loved to play on the electric bass, so the bass track which I first compose in my head, when I play the piano, is played in sequence
    • I would then pickup one of the brass instruments (I love the Tenor Sax) and play the lead well in munutes too
    • All that was left was playing the chords on any synth or keyboard available (usually one of the Korg or Yamaha synths)
    • I can hear and mix the levels of instruments in my head
    • It's easy to remix a sound in my head without having to touch a mixing console
    • All of these talents combined give me good insights in music as a whole and computer (SID music then) as a detail
    • I can work on electrical equiment on the pcb level, something I picked up as a young kid
    • From the age of three I disassembled tube radios with expert precision, making me fluent in the disassembly and assembly of tube radios
    • I assembled them back in working order from the age of four, after complete disassebly!
    • This gives me great insight in the hardware level of electronics

    Last Ninja+

    • I naturally dismantled my C64 again when I heard the game.
    • Why did the game sound that way from a hardware POV
    • What makes the IC tick
    • I've got the manuals of all the IC's
    • I had already replaced the PLA906114 Program Logic Array with a new one on a socked, with no qualms
    • The PLA9016114 got too hot in the tropics (max temp 70C) so it never lived long without a heat sink.
    • My PLA's were programmed by a friend of mine who was an expert in the programming field
    • The new PLA's came blank
    • I did all the extraction, socked soldering and other work myself

    The answer was in the C64 hardware manual

    • SID does just 8 bit audio
    • has zero polyphony
    • a limited frequency range both low and high
    • has scratchy output (which I later learned to appreciate)
    • has monophonic, single channel analog output
    • is in actuality a fair sounding IC but far from great

    The Yamaha 8 bit sound IC of that period was much better

    Yamaha had less succes than the SID for a simple reason

    Mass deployment

    • SID was everywhere!
    • C64 machines were sold like warm bread in the morning at the old baker
    • Mass deployment means much more software programmed for the IC
    • SID won on mass deplyment and lower price in comparison with the lead 8 bit Yamaha audio IC of that period
    • The ammount of games making use of the SID was staggering in comparision
    • Games drove the success of the SID to astronomical heights
    • I got used to the SID, later seeking it's sound when I transitioned to my Amiga A500 with

    Paula

    • Paula is polyphonic with 16 bit (14 bits actually) sound
    • Paula sounds much cleaner
    • has 4 channels 0 1 2 3
    • hard panning of channels in the stereo analog output
    • more stability
    • more joy

    Motivation for seeking SID after it was gone...

    • Simple
    • NOSTALGIA
    • We all have it
    • even kids do

    Ode to SID

    You've been great

  7. Starting the day with “Until it sleeps” from #Metallica epic and underrated #Load which happens to be bloody 30 years old this year.

  8. "Until It Sleeps" is a song by American #heavyMetal band #Metallica. It was released on May 20, 1996, as the lead single from their sixth studio album, #Load (1996). "Until It Sleeps" reached No. 10 on the US #Billboard Hot 100, making it Metallica's highest-charting single and only top-10 hit in the United States to date. The song also topped Billboard's #MainstreamRock chart, peaked within the top five in the United Kingdom, and reached No. 1 in Australia, Denmark.

  9. Выбор российского ETL-инструмента в 2025 и чек-лист

    Привет! Перед вами новое исследование, посвящённое одной из ключевых технологий управления данными — процессам извлечения, преобразования и загрузки данных (ETL) . Оно стало логическим продолжением первого обзора рынка ETL-решений, выпущенного нашей командой три года назад. За это время многое изменилось. Если в 2022-м рынок опирался на зарубежные платформы, то сегодня акценты сместились в сторону отечественных продуктов. Причины очевидны: уход иностранных вендоров, трудности с продлением лицензий, обновлениями и поддержкой. Импортозамещение из формальности превратилось в стратегическую задачу, а потребность в надёжных российских инструментах — в вопрос технологической безопасности. Одновременно усилились и глобальные вызовы: рост объёмов данных, переход бизнеса к моделям прогнозной аналитики и управлению на основе данных. ETL-системы в этой экосистеме занимают фундаментальное место — именно они превращают разрозненные источники в согласованный поток информации, на котором строятся аналитика, модели машинного обучения и управленческие решения.

  13. Yer Metal Is Olde: Metallica – Load

    By Dr. A.N. Grier

    Next year, one of Metallica’s greatest albums will turn 30 years old. Yup, you guessed it, Load. That’s why I’m writing a YMIO piece for it this year. Not just to break the rules and piss off ole Steelio, but because the band just released a remastered version of this precious little gem. Why would they do that, you might ask? No fucking clue. But, for collectors, you can expect a rather fresh-sounding remaster and roughly 10,000 useless demos and live performances. Not that you can’t find all the live performances you could ever want from Metallica. And whoever the jagoff is that keeps adding them to Metal Archives, fucking stop, ya stupid cunt. And if said jagoff is one of you, kill yourself. Anyway, this remastered version is apparently such big news that when I search for the album on iTunes, I get this ridiculously over-bloated version every time. And I suspect this hit piece will be just as big, forever immortalized as one of the greatest recollections of Metallica’s big, fat Load.

    Let’s set the stage. It’s the 90s, and things have already gone weird for the band when they hired Bob Rock and dropped their massively successful “Black Album,” splitting their fan base in half while attracting millions of arena-goers all over the world. This led to a strange anticipation during that five-year gap between Metallica and Load. Would they continue on this new path? Or have they got that out of their systems and we’ll return to the days of …And Justice for All? What they did next shocked the world. They cut their hair and put on mascara. The ’80s kids revolted while the hype excited the ’90s kids because they weren’t getting one new album; they were getting two in two years. But Metallica were still metal, right? I mean, they coated their new record in blood and jism, for fuck’s sake. While every kid lied to their mothers about the unsavory artwork, one thing was for sure: the Metallica we all knew and loved was gone forever. Goodbye to the underground tape trading. Say hello to radio rock!

    Load marks the beginning of fun-loving tunes and addictive choruses, like those found in “2×4,” “Until It Sleeps,” and King Nothing.” It’s also the beginning of filler-filled albums that could have used a haircut as well. Take the best tracks from Load and Reload, and you could have made a single solid album. But no… Instead, the masses have to suffer through two albums with more than a dozen tracks each and roughly two-and-a-half hours of music. That said, of the two records, Load has arguably aged better, bringing interesting concepts that no one would have expected from Het and co., for example, the underrated “Ronnie,” where Hetfield delivers the story of my serial-killing childhood. Load also marks the first time the band wrote a song in a major key with the lyrically charming “Hero of the Day.” The record is so odd that its weirdness is its charm. Plus, those were the times. How many of these classic ’80s bands got sucked into the nightmarish ’90s MTV mentality?

    The band also began toying with longer closers, much like the old days in Ride the Lightning, though “The Call of Ktulu” is a far sleeker track than Load’s “The Outlaw Torn.” That said, the closer is one of the more memorable tracks on the album. Even though it meanders far too much, the climax is worth it, and the closing riff is a nice bookend to the opener. The other with a similar length is the underrated “Bleeding Me.” In comparison, the journey one takes in “Bleeding Me” is one of the better ones in Hetfield’s dark mind. It’s a surprisingly powerful piece that tears me to emotional ribbons. A phrase I cannot use for “Mama Said.” This song sees Hetfield taking us off the asphalt and onto a dusty desert road with horses and shit. A song that supposedly almost didn’t make it on the album, yet was “good” enough for a music video. Which is hilarious because the rest of the band basically makes a cameo, watching Het ride off into the sunset in a fucking cowboy hat and shit-kicker boots. Otherwise, the rest of the album is filler stuffed with mood-killing interludes, unnecessary crooning, and the time-period piece of shit talk box in “The House Jack Built.”

    Like my piece on the mighty St. Anger, no one asked for a write-up on one of Metallica’s best Bob Rock records. It’s not metal or the Metallica of the ’80s, but times were a-changin’. But, after the great success the band had with their self-titled record, do you blame them for taking this direction? While every metalhead bashes on this record, it’s not like it was a financial failure. Kids at the time flocked to this fucking record, attracted to the groovy, bluesy riffs and personal emotion of Hetfield’s lyrics. While there are plenty of flaws, and so much wah-wah pedal that the band decided to cut out solos for St. Anger, I’d spin this lengthy record far more than any of the rest of the shit that came out. I mean, at least they didn’t do a hip-hop collaboration like Anthrax. Load and Reload were not the albums any fan wanted, but, for better or worse, Load began a new era for Metallica, and they really didn’t give a fuck what we thought. So, do yourself a favor, listen to the crisp remastered version, relive your Zack Morris years, and don’t waste your hate on Met. Also, pull up your pants and cut your fucking hair.
