TED and Dave Again
By Snyderman on July 5, 2026 9:12 pm
Inspiration wasn't coming to me very well this week. I managed to establish a cool groove but just didn't have it in me to elaborate in the ways I really wanted to.
Furnace Tracker as usual, bringing back the "TED" from the Commodore 16 (1 Square + 1 Square/Noise) and the Dave chip from the Enterprise 128 (3 Square + 1 Noise). 6 channels total for a lot of square wave heavy electronic music.
Putting them together again and really feel like there's more juice to squeeze out of it that I got. Dave supports ring modulation and a pseudo low pass / high pass which can be cool if handled well, but it has a very limited noise channel. TED has some cool things you can do on channel 2 (noise + square) but playing both at the same time creates some strange interrupts that make it less ideal if you don't plan around it.
