Exploring the C64 Mssiah Cartridge

Описание: Join me as I explore the Mssiah cartridge by 8bit Ventures after successfully completing my Stereo SID and SID2SID mod for my Commodore 64.
I go through the sequencer and the instrument synthesis on the C64 using Mssiah.

"SEQUENCER is the flagship application in the MSSIAH suite.
Whether you want a multi-timbral MIDI synthesizer or create multi part music directly on your C64, MSSIAH Sequencer is the tool for you.

The user interface mimics the likes of its contemporary older brothers such as Logic, ProTools and Cubase. This makes the MSSIAH Sequencer a one-of-its-kind application on the C64 platform.
Add, move, copy and delete sequences or notes with just a click on the mouse. Or why not input your latest idea by playing the keys on your C64 or MIDI keyboard?

You have 32 SID instruments to edit and play and can choose from 68 readily available presets to quickly access THE classic computer game sounds of the 80s.

The user interface of the MSSIAH Sequencer is fully graphical and supports 1351 mouse (recommended), joystick and Amiga/Atari mice.
Switch the MSSIAH Sequencer to MIDI mode and you now have a 6 track multi-timbral C64 synthesizer ready to play next to your MIDI synthesizers.
Polyphonic mode is also available as a stand-alone MIDI mode with up to six voices and optionally both modes can be combined.

In poly mode you can choose to treat the wave-table sounds like arpeggios. So as you play chords on your MIDI keyboard they play back as classic broken wave-table chords.


MSSIAH Sequencer provides full MIDI control of all sound parameters via control change messages. Also supported are pitch wheel, program changes and note velocity messages.
With all these features you can rely on the MSSIAH Sequencer as either a versatile C64 MIDI module or a fun internal music app to create your own SID music quickly and easily."

" SID2SID is a 16 x 24 inch manufactured circuit board that offers a cheap and neat solution if you wish to add a second audio chip to your Commodore 64. All you need is some components and a soldering iron.

[SID2SID Circuit Board] [SID2SID installed in A Commodore 64]

With a second SID (C64 audio circuit) in your computer you get the following advantages with the MSSIAH Cartridge:

6 tracks or 6 voices of polyphony with the Sequencer and Drummer apps
One extra audio output to route samples in Wave-Player
Stereo by doubling the output in Mono Synthesizer and Bassline apps


Assembling the circuit board is simple if you have basic soldering skills. The installation guide shows the whole process with pictures and explanations.

The SID2SID is designed to fit into all Commodore 64 motherboards including the Commodore 128.

The bare circuit board can be ordered with the cartridge or separately. Components and SIDs are not included."
