Game 1 Unit 15 of 64 1 hr learning time
Sound Polish
Distinct sounds for different events. Perfect hits sound amazing. Misses sound harsh.
23% of SID Symphony
Every action needs appropriate feedback. This unit polishes the sound design.
Previously, hits played the note’s frequency regardless of timing quality. Now perfect hits trigger a bright, high-pitched confirmation sound. Good hits get a softer, lower response. Miss sounds remain harsh. Menu navigation clicks satisfyingly. Every event has distinct audio feedback.
Run It
Assemble and run:
acme -f cbm -o symphony.prg symphony.asm
Press fire to start, then hit notes with different timing qualities. You’ll hear the difference between perfect and good hits.
Sound Design Vocabulary
Different events need different sounds:
| Event | Sound Character | SID Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Perfect hit | Bright, satisfying | High pitch, sawtooth |
| Good hit | Positive, softer | Medium pitch, triangle |
| Miss | Harsh, punishing | Low pitch, noise |
| Menu select | Click, responsive | Short pulse |
The player’s ears confirm what their eyes see.
Sound Effect Constants
All sound settings are defined as constants for easy tuning:
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Sound Effect Constants - Different sounds for different events
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Perfect hit sound - bright and satisfying
PERFECT_SFX_FREQ = $30 ; Higher pitch
PERFECT_SFX_WAVE = $21 ; Sawtooth (bright)
PERFECT_SFX_AD = $08 ; Fast attack, medium decay
PERFECT_SFX_SR = $00 ; No sustain
; Good hit sound - positive but lesser
GOOD_SFX_FREQ = $20 ; Lower pitch than perfect
GOOD_SFX_WAVE = $11 ; Triangle (softer)
GOOD_SFX_AD = $0A ; Slightly slower decay
GOOD_SFX_SR = $00 ; No sustain
; Miss sound settings - harsh buzz
MISS_FREQ = $08 ; Low, ominous
MISS_WAVE = $81 ; Noise waveform
MISS_AD = $00 ; Instant attack
MISS_SR = $A0 ; Quick sustain, fast release
; Menu sound settings - satisfying click
MENU_SELECT_FREQ = $18 ; Menu click pitch
MENU_SELECT_WAVE = $41 ; Pulse for click
MENU_SELECT_AD = $00 ; Instant attack
MENU_SELECT_SR = $80 ; Very short
Each sound has distinct frequency, waveform, and envelope characteristics. Perfect hits are bright and high. Good hits are softer and lower. Misses buzz harshly. Menu clicks are short and satisfying.
The Sound Routines
Each event has its own dedicated sound routine:

We use Voice 3 for sound effects, keeping Voices 1 and 2 free for the musical note playback. This creates a layered audio experience where the note sounds and the confirmation effects combine.
Different Waveforms, Different Feelings
The SID’s waveforms each have distinct characters:
PERFECT_SFX_WAVE = $21 ; Sawtooth - bright, edgy
GOOD_SFX_WAVE = $11 ; Triangle - soft, round
MISS_WAVE = $81 ; Noise - harsh, jarring
MENU_SELECT_WAVE = $41 ; Pulse - crisp, mechanical- Sawtooth ($21): Buzzy, bright, attention-grabbing. Perfect for rewarding success.
- Triangle ($11): Smooth, warm, gentle. Good for positive but lesser feedback.
- Noise ($81): Random, harsh, uncomfortable. Ideal for punishing mistakes.
- Pulse ($41): Hollow, clicking, mechanical. Works well for UI interactions.
Integrating Sounds with Gameplay
The award_points routine now plays the appropriate sound:
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Award Points - Now with distinct sounds for each hit quality
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
award_points:
jsr increment_combo
lda hit_quality
cmp #2
beq award_perfect
; Good hit - positive but lesser feedback
lda #GOOD_SCORE
jsr apply_multiplier
jsr add_score
inc good_count
; Play good sound effect (softer, lower pitch)
jsr play_good_sound
lda #GOOD_COL ; Yellow border flash
sta BORDER

jmp award_done
award_perfect:

jsr play_perfect_sound
lda #PERFECT_COL ; White border flash
sta BORDER
lda #6 ; Longer flash
sta border_flash
lda #HEALTH_PERFECT
jsr increase_health
award_done:
jsr display_score
rts
Perfect hits get the bright sound and longer border flash. Good hits get the softer sound and shorter flash. The feedback hierarchy is clear.
Menu Sounds
Every state transition now has audio feedback:
fire_pressed:
lda #$FF
sta CIA1_PRA
; Play menu select sound
jsr play_menu_select
; Start the game!
jsr init_game
lda #STATE_PLAYING
sta game_state
rtsThe click sound confirms the button press was registered. Without it, there’s a moment of uncertainty - did the game hear me?
ADSR for Sound Character
The Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release envelope shapes each sound:
; Perfect: Fast attack, medium decay, no sustain
PERFECT_SFX_AD = $08 ; Attack=0, Decay=8
PERFECT_SFX_SR = $00 ; Sustain=0, Release=0
; Good: Slightly slower decay
GOOD_SFX_AD = $0A ; Attack=0, Decay=10
GOOD_SFX_SR = $00 ; Sustain=0, Release=0
; Miss: Instant, short
MISS_AD = $00 ; Attack=0, Decay=0
MISS_SR = $A0 ; Sustain=10, Release=0Fast decays make sounds punchy. The perfect sound decays quicker than good, making it feel more energetic.

Try This: Sound Test Mode

Try This: Dynamic Miss Sound
Make the miss sound harsher when health is low:
play_miss_sound:
lda health
cmp #16 ; Health critical?
bcc harsh_miss
lda #MISS_FREQ
jmp set_miss_freq
harsh_miss:
lda #$04 ; Lower pitch = more ominous
set_miss_freq:

; ... rest of miss sound setup ...Audio feedback that responds to game state increases tension.
What You’ve Learnt
- Sound design vocabulary - Different sounds for different events
- Waveform character - Sawtooth brightness vs triangle softness
- ADSR shaping - Envelope controls sound feel
- UI sounds - Menu feedback confirms input
- Layered audio - Effects over music
What’s Next
In Unit 16, we complete Phase 1. Final polish, difficulty balance, and a fully playable rhythm game ready to share.
