When I was about 13 years old I heard one song on my C64 over and over. Since I am still quite busy at Hobnox.com, I felt like having a break for some nerdier stuff.
I reconstructed Georg Feil’s Synth Sample in AS3. It provides 3 voices with pulse modulated square waves and a very simple volume envelope in 2.4kB file size incl. song data. Actually the goal was to stay below 1kB, but this wasn’t possible yet.
wow
that’s neat!
WOW ich liebe 8 bit !!!!!!!
einfach hammer melodie !!!!!!!!!!
How do you get started in engineering of sound in flash? I have searched Wikipedia and other sites for algorithms but it doesn’t get me far. Any advice on getting started in this?
Great job André!!
Very Niceee!
I’ve been trying to work with sound in flash long time ago, before AS3.
I must say, that this work , like most of your works, really rocks.
Thanks for sharing, and keep making great stuff. That’s impressive
wow, this gets me excited. cheers & fantastic work
do you suppose there’s a way to minimise audio glitching with low processor speeds?
quite beautiful!
I remember this song and I also heard it all day long.
Great job dude, as always
Ruf mal an - am besten während ich noch in Erinnerungen schwelge und an an Amiga denke, Amica!
Hey your work always rocks!
However I’ve found some serious problem playing your audio app.
IE browser crashes as soon as you use ctrl+n to open a new window(IE) or tab while playing your audio app.
I guess it’s because of ’sampleDataEvent’ causes ‘Stack Overflow’.
If you remove the event listener by ’setTimeout’ and put ’snd.play()’ afterwords
it then won’t kill the browser. But you won’t be able to play the sound properly.
I think this is critical.
Have you ever noticed that?
If you’ve already sort out that problem please share with us.
Cheers!
Stunning. Thank you.
Incredible skills Andre. Very nice work you are doing in AS3. I agree with previous commenter. Where do you find the documentation for this? I like the sound of all of your audioworx. Keep it up dude!
vielen Dank, auch ich hab als kind mit meinem c64 diesen tollen songs gelauscht, für mich deckungsgleich mit zukunft
Just fiscoverd this web and it’s amazing. I like it
i really want to download an mp3 of this! could you post a link? that would be great!
I’d also love an MP3 of this.

very cool
What Trish said..
I would very much love an mp3 of this too XD

George Fail roxx!!
Hi,
Great to hear this song again. I can definately remember this from synth sample. I think it was called ’saturday’.
The main sound seems to be a bit of tune sometimes. Especially when it it played high
I LOVE THIS GAME I HA VE A COOLE MELODIE
WHO IS HERE NETHERLANDS
I love the slightly out of tune sound. This is wonderful.
my turkey my name is elif sude wowww loveee
wo!
me ilumine
it’s simply FANTASTIC!!
that’s good!!
OTTIMO!
Ich benutze “In Ear Kopfhörer” und muss sagen dieser 8bit Bass der dauernd im hintergrund läuft ist sowas von pervers :)
Ich hab ein bisschen mit meinem Equalizer rumgespielt und man kann das Lied noch besser hinbekommen wenn man das tut :D
z.b. die nervigen Pipsigen höhen wegbekommen und mehr Bass
btw: tolles Lied
Hi Andre,
nettes Teil. Jedoch sind die Töne im hohen Bereich etwas schief. Setzt du die Phasenverschiebung auf 0 sobald diese über 1 springt? Wenn ja, dann rate ic davon ab. Das führt zu fehler im hohen Frequenzbereich (wie man hier auch hört). Versuch es mal mit Wavetables. ;-)
LG Stevie M.
This music is so perfect for deep though. Final Theses for school come to me easily with this in the background!

… you mean to say are there any other Dutchmen hanging out here?
Or: anyone dutch here?
Anyway 1kb or not this thing is out of tune.
Hello
Ok but what are these 2 files:
SynthSample.melody
SynthSample.bassline
How they were generated? Why there are bytesArray?
Can anyone explain me ???
That’s really nice man. bravo!
WAIT HOW DID YOU DO THIS?
Good Music :) !!
Aaahh… Good old days.. i love these sid tones.. i dont know how i got this page but thank god sid sounds in my head.. Thank you georg feil and andré michelle.. best wishes from turkey
Hi,
This song is one of my favourite songs from my childhood. It was the starting music of the “Songs in HIRES” demo with moving caleidoscope on C64. I could watch it and listen to the music hours long…
Good work… Though in my memory the upper frequencies are a little different, but I could be wrong after 20 yeras :-)
Keep up the brilliant work you do.
Bye: Zoltan
it was my favourite tune o c64. I like the stereo feeling in this work Andre. I just uploaded my remix of this piece (synth sample) on RKO. Enjoy!
der gute alte s64 soundchip!
I have had that SAME tune in my head form the same Commodore 64 program! I taught myself how to play the lower/bass part on the piano and I play it all the time (it’s quite easy!)
Pretty!
