Music Studio is a Windows-based SID music creator software. For an accurate C64 sound, it utilises the newest RESID-FP emulation available, both old (6581) and new (8580) SID chips. MS2 is capable of creating 1x speed tunes and many SID chip parameters can be edited directly using the various commands. Classic and new C64 sounds can be created with envelope parameters that can be set up in few simple steps.


To use in Windows, just unzip the archive and run the EXE.

Do you mean sampled audio? Or a chip sound effect?

Both actually are supported already.

Yes, but you will need to change the source code of the player routine. In the source file MusicPlayer2.a look for .playSFX and this block of code is active when SoundEffectsActive is defined. The variable .fxnoteDuration is used to decide how long to use the voice for sound effects before resuming the music.
