yes that's it. Like any midi instrument (they wouldn't be midi otherwise
steve!)

Hey, i took the badge off my old 64 and attached it to my controller (which
is beige!)
So there you go, it looks retro and has the original brand label.

yes 101 is the synth for these lfo drops & subs :)

compression on the SID is great also :).. and boost the subs!

I'm not sure if you can still get them, but Commodore made some MIDI
controller keyboards a while ago, so mine already has their logo on it
anyway ^.^

'tis a very good box though, the SidStation, the only thing I'd want to
change is to make it a rackmount, otherwise it's flawless :) Though I'm
probably going to be told why that's as silly as making it include a
keyboard...

A friend of mine still has his commodore TV which looks great..

i can see it as a rackmount.. like these sexy behringer effects modules..

by perhaps the SID would get irritated by all the other gear and shut off..
"what are you doing dave?"..

I got my computer a long time ago from Escom and from what I remember they
bought out Commodore, which is why I've got a Commodore logo sticker for the
PC, though I think I stuck it on my C64 eventually, and the speakers and
even QWERTY keyboard IIRC that came with the PC are also by Commodore, so it
really does look like an authentic Commodore setup I'm using :) It's a
really cheap keyboard though, it cost about \ufffd30 and now one of the keys has
fallen off... But I still use it for everything. I should be able to put
some pics of the setup on my band's site tonight maybe... (www.fsckem.com,
not advisable for kids though, it's that kind of band).

I used one of those 19" rack mountable trays and mounted the sidstation to 
it. works great. also use a midi keyboard (CZ101).

They're going to be at http://www.fsckem.com/bac/info.htm just as soon as I
get round to it. I'll really try to actually get off of my arse and do them
tonight, OK? :)
