|  Re: Convert a GoatTracker tune to TED ?
I don't know GoatTracker unfortunately, but assuming it plays "normal" SID music, the answer is yes.
First off, you can just run the exact same code as on the C64, and call it SID support  SID cards exist for the Plus/4, and it's not unheard of to have SID-only music in Plus/4 releases. One step better than that is to copy the $D400-1F area to $FD40 and $FE80, as more SID cards support reading from there.
Otherwise, you can use a converter, there's lots. Search the forum, there was a discussion about them recently. "Freq. converters" will play your SID tune using the TED's square waves (obviously it will sound quite different), "wave converters" will play "digi music" (much closer to the original but takes orders of magnitude more CPU).
Finally, another option is to write (or ask someone to write) dedicated TED tunes. There's now TEDzakker and KnaeckeTraecker, lots of folks use those, or there's my LOD player (also fast and full featured, source and many working examples available).
