Mentioned it a bit in another thread, but is related to this one, so here goes:
Many C64 arcade games often used a lot of ring modulation on the SID, and with the new 1.20 OS some of this is now possible! Here I recreated the intro for the song “Wastelands” from the game “The Last Ninja”. Only three tracks used (to be true to the SID), mixing both SY BITS with the new SY RAW for ring mod stuff.

Excellent rendition

Remembering this old thread, and adding the DN2 version of the same one I did for Syntakt above. So arcade game sounds is fully possible on that one too!

Continuing on the completeness-track for this thread (and also Last Ninja-related), here is a more or less exact rendition of ”Water” from Last Ninja 3 on C64. Only using SY CHIP on Analog Rytm (but is also available on the Syntakt since OS 1.30). If you have any questions on how to make some specific sound, let me know.

My small claim to fame regarding last ninja - I worked with the artist who made it on a project 25 yrs ago , I helped him pick up 3dsmax … he’s retired in Greece atm . Very nice bloke . I was a kid when last ninja came out , it’s one of the games that got me into doing c64 gfx in the mid-late 80’s .

Ah, very cool! Trying to look in to who that might have been, I found that System 3 is alive and is currently working on a Kickstarter: PS4/5/Switch/Xbox-release with C64/Amiga/Spectrum conversions of the Last Ninja trilogy, including IK and IK+ !

Use the “SY CHIP” machine which is available on channels 9, 10 and 11.
It’s exactly the thing you want, it’s what it does. 
Edit: I don’t think it had SY_CHIP when that question was asked. 
Fun fact: I programmed Ben’s music players for many years.

Nice!
Yeah, it’s weird to come on here and see people talking about “Future Knight”, etc.
A real “blast from the past”.

Can’t seems to find what kind of SID chip replacement they used for this. Maybe the ArmSID?

Yep! Great news, and exactly the person that should have bought Commodore.
I just built my own using the amazing Ultimate 64 Elite II board and a pair of ARMSIDs, but I kind of want to get one of these as well, and support the new Commodore. Can’t have too much C64 goodness!
