Maybe the entire Universe is just filled with parts of the same original pixel. If so, then it is hip to be (part of a) square. Enjoy your low resolution. :)

Deflektor remix

Hi. It's a 6-channels song for one SID chip (6581). 
Composed in 2019 on The C64 Mini and recorded from it. 

The song is kind of a test I made to check out two things: 
- is the Polyanna tracker for C64 any good? Yes. It can play 8 channels or 6 channels on one SID chip, on a regular Commodore 64 (the old SID is required). 
- is The C64 Mini computer any good? Yes. Most of the stuff - including sound - works much better that I expected. 

As for the Polyanna tracker by Aleksi Eeben - here are a few words from the programmer: 

"
Polyanna is a 8-channel music editor for Commodore 64. It plays 3 regular SID channels together with 5 emulated SID channels on a stock machine. Old SID chip (6581) is required. The mixer is based on Sid Vicious, a SID emulator I wrote for VIC 20 in 2006. For optimal performance the emulated channels in Polyanna are optimized for pulse waveform only. Pulse width
modulation and envelopes are of course supported, although they're rough. Don't expect too much! :) There is also an optional 6-channel mode with improved sound quality:
- 8 channels: 3 regular SID + 5 emulated channels @4.4kHz
- 6 channels: 3 regular SID + 3 emulated channels @7.7kHz
"

As for The C64 Mini, I like the machine; it's good for games; it's also kind of good for making stuff: although the disk-drive speed is more/less the same like on the original C64 (You can speed it up a bit but sometimes it may cause problems with loading, so anyway I use the standard floppy speed only) - however here You have also 4 slots for snapshots, for each diskette. Instant saving / loading the song while composing is a very nice & useful feature. Really comfortable. When You finished composing - You can normally save the final song into the diskette (the *.d64 file) and move it anywhere - into an emulator, into a real diskdrive and the original C64 - and so on. 

So anyway - some more 'crunchy' sound sometimes - isn't any faulty procedure of the C64 Mini SID - Aleksi says it sounds the same way on the original C64 (and it doesn't work at all on the C64 with a new SID, we checked it out already). 
Also - it might sound even better but I made the song in a wrong way - being corrected by Aleksi too late :) - he said that it's more reasonable to use low sounds on the emulated channels and high pitch sounds on the hardware channels. Which I might figure out by myself if I only took this effort to read the instruction, haha (the "7.7kHz" fragment might give me a clue ;-) ). 

You can notice the problems with keepin' tempo too, hehe. But this sound-engine is really a killer for the Commodore, hehe. The computer does what it can. 

I dedicated this song to my Kate because she is a mathematician by penchant - and a programmer by profession, so she can appreciate how tired the 986 Hz processor is, playing this stuff (yes, I use PAL). :-P
Also, she likes 80s style of music. :-)
