'Jump to other subtune' command in orderlists/sequences. Polyphonic jam-mode with dovetailing (cycles through voice 1.3) - good for sounds with long release Realtime compression of pattern-data - zeroes dont appear in memory, therefore more memory is left for informative data (similar to XM-patterndata compression, but more effective). Everything on one screen (except menu) to ease composition workflow. Goattracker-like pattern-editing concept and keyboard control to ease migration from Goattracker.

Features of SID-Wizard2.1 Significant features of SID-Wizard: 50 instruments, 100 of 250-byte long patterns and 16 ($0.$F) of subtunes in total, may vary later Optimized rastertime (around $1C) and small code size to let more room for musical data (editor code and graphics are ~14kbyte together, player-code is around -or a little more than- 2kbyte) Virtually no zeropage usage, so the music routine won't interfere with other parts of your program 3 x 25 rows pattern-editing perspective to keep as much as possible musical data in screen-focus. Let's see in a nutshell in the next section what can be done with SID-Wizard.Ģ. More or less I found the way to do so, and coupled the different features under common hood to achieve simplicity, ease of use despite the amount of new functions. I made some comparison charts between these editors, and I figured out that I need to code a native C64 based editor, which should contain everything essential, and even some more inventive/innovative features. My personal favourites - and possibly the most featureful, in order of appearance - are: Goattracker (cross-platform with emulated SID sound), SDI, X-SID, SID-Factory, JCH Editor, DMC, Hardtrack Composer. (For instance, saving/loading individual instruments, multi-speed support, detuning, jamming, keyboard-tracking, etc.) However there are several trackers to mention which contain almost all important features, and which I got much inspiration from. My aim from the beginning was to create a comprehensive native C64 tool for SID music creation, as there are so many editors around which are good at some aspects but on the other hand many of them lack very basic features. SID-Wizard is an open-source project from the very 1st release, and everyone is welcome to help in further developments of my extensively commented source-code. As you may know, there is still an evolving culture and technical background behind this machine - that's why demo musicians are still welcome to join the scene and compose wonderful SID tunes. More specifically, a music editor for its sound chip called SID (Sound Interface Device). What is SID-Wizard?Hey folks, I'm Hermit! If you wonder what SID-Wizard is, I have a short answer: yet another tracker application for the famous Commodore 64 personal computer of the eighties.
