This release adds support for the RC2014 SID-Ulator Sound Module, introducing a new collection of BASIC programs demonstrating music and sound effects.

What’s new

  • SID-Ulator Sound
    • C-major scale
    • Laser sound effects
    • Rising-and-falling siren
    • Gunshot effects
    • Explosion effects
    • Engine idle and revving

The programs explore several of the SID-Ulator’s capabilities, including triangle, sawtooth, pulse and noise waveforms, envelope-controlled sound, frequency sweeps and multi-voice effects.

Documentation

  • Added hardware setup and port configuration for the SID-Ulator module
  • Added individual tuning guidance for each sound effect
  • Added implementation notes describing the SID register usage, waveform selection, envelopes and frequency handling
  • Added references to the RC2014 SID-Ulator module documentation and MOS 6581 SID datasheet

Hardware

The new programs require an RC2014 SID-Ulator Sound Module configured for ports D4/D5, with headphones or powered speakers connected to its audio output.

With this release, the RC2014 gains another output dimension: alongside serial output, LEDs and LCD graphics, programs can now produce sound.
