Standard VIC music format ?

[majikeyric]

Hi,

Is there a standard music format on VIC20 ? (like SID on C64).

I asked this question because I want to easily include music in my forthcoming productions.

And as I'm not composer, a library of songs would be great.

I have read some posts about VICTracker.

Thanks

Short answer, no - most developers roll their own.

There are some examples about on the net of IRQ driven players for the Vic but I couldn't find anything that met my needs: background music with foreground effects [stealing channels as needed], so I took my inspiration from them and hacked my own.

It would make a very good candidate for an API library similar to Robert Hurst's sprite SSS should anyone have the inclination.

A futher step would be a Web page similar to my screen/character designer that allowed composition/import midi etc/preview/code generation. I could potentialy tackle these in the distant future, but don't hold your breath
