Arkanoid Re-Created

Lawrence Eldrige posted a track centered aroudn the C64 and SID sound. He is working on building a uCApps C64 MIDIBox. For this track he had MIDI working and that's about it. Knobs will be coming next. I thought the track was pretty well done and as he listed the synths used, I asked him if I could put it up. He gave me the go ahead, so here it is. Title link takes you to a 6.94M mp3 (right click and save). Note's below from Lawrence. It's a really cool track. Enjoy.



"So, I've been re-living my past love for the SID sound, and decided to
re-create the C64 theme tune to Arkanoid... using analogue synths. :)

Roland SVC-350 (main melody, verby sound @ 0:51)
Octave CAT (bassline @ 0:10)
C64 (beats, computer blip @ well, err, all over.)
ESQ1 (beats, main melody, pads @ 0:10 & 2:13)
ARP 2600 (guitar accompaniment, bass @ 2:13)
Mellotron Choir @ fading in & out throughout.
Rhodes Chroma (loading noise at start @ 0:04)
Solina String Ensemble @ various points.
MS-20 (white noise) @ 0:03


Hopefully I have the mixture just right!

...sadly the SID sound is either love or hate :)
