Programming the SIDStation

2001-01-11 by Zoe Blade

Hi!

I know the SIDStation is a wonderful box and lots of effort was put into making
it, and it's as easy to program by itself as any physical box with a tiny
little LCD screen is going to be... But are there any plans to make a program
that can either emulate it or talk directly to it, in order to let you make
patches in Windows/on a Mac using slidebars and tickboxes, then upload the
ready patch directly to the beast? This really would be very useful...  It's a
great synth, but it has so many settings to tweak it's a bit difficult doing it
on the LCD's screen resolution with only a few options presented at a time.

I think there was something like this mentioned on the list a whlie back but
it's been a long time since I heard anything about it. But if various software
can emulate the SID chip enough for hearing roughly what a patch would sound
like, and ASID can communicate with it directly enough to play old SID tunes,
it should be feasable.

Just wondering ^.^

Love,
