MagSID Editor 1.2 — a Windows tracker for Commodore 64 music, with a low-memory SID player.

Website: https://magnarharestad.github.io/MagSID/

Download and run

Download MagSID-Editor-v1.2-win-x64.zip, unpack it anywhere and run MagSID-Editor.exe. There is no installer.

  • Needs Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime for x64.
  • The exe is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher: More info → Run anyway.

What's new in 1.2

Instruments as files

  • Menu → Save Instrument writes the selected instrument to a .json file — name, waveform, envelope, pulse, hard restart, vibrato, and the wave, note and filter programs.
  • Menu → Load Instrument adds one or more such files to the song as new instruments, in either view. Pick several at once to bring in a whole bank.
  • A file is checked against the same rules as a song before it is let in, so a hand-edited instrument the player could not play is refused with the reason.
  • The file is plain JSON with bytes written as "$41", easy to read, share and edit by hand.

See 1.1 for everything before this.
