First arpeggio effect
as in the topic - what is the first sid tune using the infamous quick arpeggio? :P i suspect that hubbard wasn't the first to be credited with. |

starquake is 1x
the first arpeggio is a hard question
1986-the first 2x tune is by michael winterberg
1987-rainbow dragon by wally beben, calls 2 times the same play
1987-the first even spaced 2x tune is zig zag by antony crowther
1987-the first sample is by galway (realtime generated)
1987-the first sample is by hulsbeck (play from memory)
1987-the first 2chn sample is by banana/tek
1988-the first 3chn sample is from babana/tek
1 tune in wizball is 2x..
ofcourse, playing samples only was done before those.
space taxi, impossible mission, beach head....
rhytm king, drumprogram, is 2 chn...
funky drummer is 1 chn
microvocal/microlatin etc. is 1 chn
(all 3, samples only)
the first arpeggio ?
its a job to investigate :)
the first i heard was galway/kong strikes back,
but landwehr is 84, and we have to see if anyone did it before.. |

BTW, look at /GAMES/S-Z/Soldier_One.sid (Unknown author, but perhaps by Lars Hård? It´s from 1986)
Isn't the PWM there something like 10x (#13 at over 15x AFAIK. Listen to the part beginning at around 1:30)?
The rest is maybe single-speed.
(A text output from sid2midi showed the pulse width sometimes being changed in single steps, e.g. from 1024-1025-1026 and so on instead of something like 2048-2064-2080, but it seems to change fast enough to be audible as a sweep.)
/GAMES/S-Z/Tolteka.sid
Dunno the rate here, maybe 4x?

Wahaha,
Soldier one: it clearly sounds, as a not static square, with a +1 speed. perhaps the player is just missing a static pulse routine, so he makes as slow as possible, to make the square sound.

Quoting rambonesstarquake is 1x
Check the init routine, it sets CIA timer to 4x. |

well, music definitely doesn't sound like 4x. perhaps init routine handles not only music ;) |

to spice up this thread I guess it could be just as interesting to know who first used volume above 0 for sid tunes.... ;-P |

Hmmm ok then, but Starquake is not called with 2 different play routines. it only sets 4x on the cia, but does not use spaced interval jsr play - so this is not 'real' multispeed if you ask me.
