If the playback is choppy, try increasing the buffer size. Smaller values mean faster and smoother updating (1024 is the lowest possible) but also require a fast computer with a nifty web browser.
The piano is always updated as fast as possible when using the normal WebSid emulator, regardless of buffer size. However, larger buffer sizes may introduce flickering notes. Decrease the buffer size to avoid this.
The top right waveform legend explains the colors of notes on the keyboards. Red is pulse, green is triangle and blue is sawtooth. Gray is noise. Waveforms may be combined, but 31, 61 and 71 are only audible on the 8580 SID chip.
The numbers above the bars are hexadecimal. Pulse width has 12 bits and goes from 0 to 4095. The triangle indicates that it's most audible in the middle. The filter cutoff has 11 bits and thus goes from 0 to 2047.
The small yellow bar is the filter resonance. It can go from 0 to 15 (maximum resonance). Resonance is a peaking effect which emphasizes frequency components at the cutoff frequency of the filter, causing a sharper sound.
RM is ring modulation (non-harmonic overtones) and HS is hard synchronization (complex harmonic structures). Both effects require two voices – the previous voice as the carrier and the current voice as the modulator.
Sometimes the use of gate bit (i.e. when the piano key is depressed then later released) make notes too quick to sense, or it may in some cases even hide them. Turning it off with the toggle button in top can amend this.
Click the green buttons to toggle voices ON or OFF. You can also type
1
, 2
and 3
or alternatively q
, w
and e
. (You can also use 4
and r
for digi if you are using
legacy WebSid, but it is not reflected on this page.)
2SID and 3SID tunes are supported. Each keyboard will automatically combine to host an entire chip (i.e. 3 voices). The square voice buttons will toggle entire SID chips ON or OFF when playing these types of tunes.
If you want to "solo" a voice/chip, hold down Shift
while pressing the hotkey.

Use the smallest buffer size (1024) for best effect. Especially the vibrato detector needs this.
Lines detecting repeated changes typically requires about four unique values to occur.
Using illegal waveform to lock noise, then unlock it with test bit, can be used to create unique sounds.
Only the first SID chip is examined.

This tab will show release lists and pages from CSDb as you click SID files.
CSDb, short for The Commodore 64 Scene Database, is the largest and most comprehensive database about C64 releases pertaining to the demo scene. It's where all the cool dudes go to hang out.
This does not work in Compute's Gazette SID Collection as CSDb has almost no data for it.
This is a list of all the players/editors in the database. If you click to see a page, the SID browser will automatically find all tunes related to it. Most CPU time measures you see here were made with SIDDump and are approximate.

This tab will sometimes show one of two things depending on the SID collection you're browsing. It will display the same contents as the first tab in the box just above the player controls.
If you're clicking a song in the High Voltage SID Collection that has a STIL entry, this will be shown here as well as in the box. Any sub tunes mentioned have green buttons that you can click.
STIL stands for SID Tune Information List and contains information beyond the standard TITLE, AUTHOR, and RELEASED fields. This includes cover information, interesting facts, useless trivia, comments by the composers themselves, etc. The STIL, though, is limited to factual data and does not try to provide an encyclopedia about every original artist.
For more information about STIL, please refer to this FAQ.
If you're clicking a song in Compute's Gazette SID Collection that has lyrics, this will be shown here and in the box.
Technically, lyrics are always added in a separate WDS file that accompanies the MUS file that contains the actual music data. However, not all MUS files have a WDS file. Roughly one third of the MUS files in the collection have lyrics.
If you click a SID file that has been remixed into modern forms, this tab will show those entries from Remix64.
Remix64 is a portal to the unified world of Commodore 64 and Amiga music remixing, containing news, reviews, charts and chat. Remixes can be uploaded and rated here. It's maintained by Markus Klein, also known as LMan.
This does not work in Compute's Gazette SID Collection.
DeepSID is an online SID player that can play music originally composed for the Commodore 64, a home computer that was very popular back in the 80's and 90's. This computer had an amazing sound chip called SID.
The SID chip was really ahead of its time. Although it only had 3 voices, it offered oscillators of 8 octaves, ADSR, four waveforms, pulse width modulation, multi mode filtering, ring modulation, and hard synchronization. It really was like a tiny synthesizer, and you could even make it play digi samples along with the SID voices.

The images for composer profiles come from all over the internet. I have tried to be fair and not use images that the composer did not already have available on a personal web site, social media, interview, or another public place.
If you feel you should be credited, let me know and I will add you to this section. Also, if you don't like an image of you here, just let me know and I will of course remove it. You are also welcome to send me a replacement image.

The user name and password boxes are used for both registering and logging in. To register, just type the user name you want. If it is available (a status message tells you) then type a password and hit the button.
The annex box also has information about what you can do when logged in: Registering
I wanted to make an awesome online web player for SID tunes and I believe I have accomplished that. It was never my intention to make an app or an offline player. An online player gives me immediate access to e.g. HVSC and CGSC without having to download anything first. Just everything ready to play, search through and rate no matter if I'm on my desktop, on my iPhone or on my iPad.
However, it's possible to use an offline player with DeepSID. Just select the
Download
option in the top drop-down box and start clicking rows. Make sure you
associate your offline player with automatically playing the tunes.
The audio handlers for Stone Oakvalley's Authentic SID Collection were removed in September 2020. The connections to these real-time recordings were always spotty at best and later the reaction times also became painfully slow.
I have repeatedly tried to fix the reaction times to no avail. It's a shame having to leave this library behind as it would have been nice with real-time recordings to complement the emulations, but I finally decided that the quality of the SOASC implementation was inadequate for DeepSID.
As an alternative, try the Lemon's MP3 Files handler instead.
It was removed in late November 2020 together with all of its script code. It affected the performance of DeepSID, especially when triggering new SID tunes. Because this comment system was already rarely used by users, I decided to remove it altogether. The comments are still stored on their side and can be exported.
You need to be using a mouse to create and manage playlists. This cannot be done on a mobile device (although you can enjoy your existing playlists there). Also, you must of course be logged in.
The annex box has the basic instructions: Playlists
Published playlists appear further up in the root and can be seen by everyone (even those that are not logged in) but you're still the only one that may edit it. When you enter a public playlist, you can see who made it.
The annex box has a complete list: SID handlers
That's by design, actually. Only the player pane is supposed to be visible on mobile devices because of the limited screen space. This right text area is only really available for desktop computers.
You can achieve the same thing by selecting the Shuffle
option in the sort
drop-down box.
Yes, if you type e.g. 3-
for a search for ratings, you will get a list of all the
SID tunes and folders you have rated three stars or more. If you type 1-
, you will
see all of your ratings.
The annex box can show you a list of all the search options: Searching
Yes. Use keys 1
, 2
, 3
and 4
or alternatively q
, w
, e
and
r
. The first three are for the normal SID voices and the fourth is for toggling any
digi stuff (WebSid (Legacy) emulator only).
If you want to "solo" a voice, hold down Shift
while pressing the hotkey.
In the piano view, you can also click the green number buttons.
The annex box can show you a complete list: Hotkeys
If you hold down Shift
while clicking rating stars, you will clear them. (However,
it's usually easier just to click the same star again if you want to clear the rating.)
The audio handlers all use an API called Web Audio which is not supported by Internet Explorer. You need a modern web browser to use this site.
Actually, you can. The annex box has the answer: Memory bar
The annex box can show you a complete list: URL parameters
An example to show a specific folder:
//deepsid.chordian.net?file=/MUSICIANS/J/JCH/
An example to play a SID tune:
//deepsid.chordian.net?file=/MUSICIANS/H/Hubbard_Rob/Commando.sid&emulator=hermit&subtune=2
An example to show a CSDb entry:
//deepsid.chordian.net?tab=csdb&csdbtype=release&csdbid=153519
Copy Link
menu item on the right-click context menu now includes a URL parameter for
showing the CSDb tab instead of the default profile tab.&mini=1
for use in an "invisible" folder where the Prev/Next buttons
still work, or use &mini=2
where only the specified tune can be played. To see what other URL switches
could be nice to use, just run the URL without specifying the ?file=
switch.
Type
and then type e.g. "rsid" then search.Notes
whenever a file from the SH folder is played.p
to pop-up a tiny DeepSID now opens it in mobile mode, although it's still using WebSid (HQ).?notips=1
URL switch to avoid showing the annex box with tips.?cover=1
URL switch to force showing the auto-play cover overlay upon refresh.?wait=X
switch is now sticky when specified in the URL.?wait=X
URL switch to now wait X
number of milliseconds
before stopping.Gro7n1oqHUo?t=63
will start the video 63 seconds later.?wait=1
URL switch for selecting a specific song but not play it yet.Latest
and then type the name to do this. If you want to be certain that only a
specific composer is matched, add a slash in the end. For example, "tomas/" will only show
hits for Danko. Append e.g. ",72" for that HVSC version.
