Demo songs
Sound tells the story better than a specification. These are original pieces, not transcriptions. Each part is a complete SIDSynth multi, not a layer of another track.
Harbour Run
168 BPM, about 51 seconds. Driving rhythms, energetic sequences, and classic chip-inspired sounds arranged as a runner: intro, theme, counter, break, reprise, ending.
Parts: bass, lead, arp, and one drum voice. Kick on C2, snare on D3, hat on C5.
Neon Automatic
1980s synthpop meets chiptune. 118 BPM, about 73 seconds. Verse and chorus, with kick, snare, and hat split so each envelope can stay short enough.
Parts: bass, chords, lead, arp, kick, snare, and hat.
Blade Horizon
72 BPM, about 80 seconds. A cinematic journey through shimmering leads, evolving textures, and a solo that only glides while the patch stays mono. The pad listens to the mod wheel and channel aftertouch.
Parts: pad, brass, solo, drone, and sparkle.
Playing them yourself
When the plugin ships, the demo MIDI and Demo Songs.sidbank travel with it. Load the bank, then load the multi whose name matches the track. Give every part its own SIDSynth. Do not stack two song tracks on one instance — the patches are complete instruments.
The running figures are written into the MIDI. The hold arpeggiator is off, so the tempo cannot drift away from the arrangement. Line noise and speaker overdrive are off.
