C64 SID file export #96

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I'd like to be able to export C64 SID files from Klystrack, because all c64 
trackers that support it natively sucks usability-wise and Klystrack while easy 
to use can't export to SID.

For technical details, exported would be only features that SID supports, i.e. 
all instruments that are out of SID's scope would be muted in excported SID 
module.

This way we could use KT to compose music for c64 homebrew.

This would be very neat but at least my 6502 skills are not up to the task. 
Also, the playback routine would be pretty huge, probably making it unusable 
outside a dedicated player program.

However, I have thought of creating something like Goattracker export (which 
exports to SID). But I'm afraid such things (including .xm export etc.) would 
be pretty awful for anything but note data since not even a simple portamento 
command would work at the correct speed and so on across two different play 
routines.

So, sorry, won't probably act on this for the moment. :(
