Sidstation sux Redux (haha I rhyme)

Sidstation sux Redux (haha I rhyme)

2002-02-11 by angrysavant

I didn't want to let this thread die as it was causing so much 
irritation for everyone ;)  I would like to upload a 10x sid track
to the files section.  Can someone grant me access please?  10x is 
great but 63x starts to sound like some instruments I've made in 
absynth.  I'll try to up a 63x as soon as I have access.

Don't get too excited, a little pressure on elektron to add 3 
channels + faster register updates is a good thing.

Elektron seems to be open to the idea of this update, but are focused 
on improving the MD while lots of unsatisfied sidstation owners are 
selling on ebay and harmony-central.  I still have my sidstation in 
hopes that they will update the os and I can stop bothering with my 
c64's.  The Sidstation could be a classic.... yeeeehaaaa

Don't know if the faster register rate is even possible to do with 
only a OS update (I think the processor controlling the chip is not 
fast enough). Still I completely agree, that separate midi channels 
for each oscillator is something that should be added to the os. It 
would make the Sid Station _much_ more useful. This might require 
major re-progamming of the OS, but I think it would be worth it 
(especially when I don't have to do it myself :-P ). Now, for me the 
Sid Station is a bit of a star-head screwdriver; you don't use it too 
often, but when you need it, it's just the tool for the job. ;)
