The reason is that the SID-chip pops when you reroute channels that go
into the filter.

Yes, through the direct programming SYSEX interface.

I thought noone would be interested. Sorry! :) The resonance is not really
that audible for the SID-chip...

Take look at the allocations of the MIDI-ctrl-messages. All global
messages need to be first. If I add one of these all messages for the
individual oscillators would have to be changed.

The resonance can be controlled through direct program SYSEX as well...
