Hi

There is also the possibility that it's not the version I heard in 1981.
The version I'm speaking has no graphics, just the name of the song
And was written by a musician/programmer working for procep.
Apparently In the company, they heard some sorts of sound
And finally this song for almost 3 months...

Perhaps It's not the latest version.

The youtube is better than the program on emulation.
I don’t have a real vc20 to compare

Yes, the f=base_frequency/x is so inaccurate with x being from 1 to 128 
or something like that. With higher frequencies (small values of x), the 
error gets bigger, because 1/x and 1/(x+1) would be further apart than 
with low frequencies (big values of x).

On the SID, choosing frequencies is much easier, because you would 
specify a 16-bit multiplier of a base frequency, not a divider. IIRC, 
the TED uses the VIC-I divider principle as well, but the divider is 
wider than 7 bits (16 bits?).

Exactly, it is very hard to produce good-sounding music on the VIC-I.
