must admit i "assumed" when i first purchased my SID many, many 
moons ago, it had this feature, and was sorely dissapointed at the 
time.. i eventually got over it.. until i read that the MIDIBOX SID 
was capable of this! pooh, so its possible but maybe not in the way 
the SIDSTATION OS is structured. having almost sold the SID a few 
times i cant seem to bring myself to do it, but in the meantime ive 
been collecting old c64s with the thought of maybe making a 4XSID 
midibox in the future. if the SIDSTATION had individual midi 
channels for each oscillator it might save me some solder burns!

guilty as predicted.. in fact it might even justify the $1100 price 
tag!
