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.

Not sure if you’re familiar with the Shinobi game gear games, but picking up similar vibes. Very cool
