I've done something similar with my sid, but a little more controlled.
I connected the sid on the audio in on my sampler, and one of the outs
back to the input on the sid, and i could control the feedback by
raising and lowering the input level volume. and i must say, the sid
has very cool feedback that I've never really heard before. Try it
with different filter + filter modulation settings.
