Elektron Musical Instruments

No, Portuguese. :)
Jo\ufffdo is portuguese too, but he\ufffds living in Barcelona (lucky guy!)
The e-music scene in here is dominated by the hard techno/ house lobby, but 
slowly this is changing and new (at least in here) styles are growing. 
Brazil is a musical country for nature. There has always been great music 
from there and e-music is no exception. The last brazilian stuff I heard is 
d\ufffdn\ufffdb from DJ Marky and DJ Patife. Excelent sound with a samba feeling that 
makes it really nice to the ear. Easy-listening d\ufffdn\ufffdb maybe...
There are 2 friends of mine wainting to receive a MD this week. We thought 
we could make some gigs with 3 (!?!?!) MDs... :D Let\ufffds see if it works...
I\ufffdll keep in touch.
All the best,
Rui

ok, i know that the sid has analog filters in it. im curious as to how they
work and if there are similar chips available as stand alone parts.
basically, i want to know how one can filter analog audio, while being
controlled by a digital circuit. i'm sending this message here since i
expect that some of you have intimate knowledge of the sid and maybe even
make your own equipment. thanks.

those are good questions!  

The answer is, 

1) there are d/a converters inside the SID!  

	1) one for each envelope generater
	2) a 12-bit one for each voices waveform
	3) an 11-bit d/a for converting the digitl filter setting into
           an analog input to the filter control voltage. 

and 2) the filter is a standard State Variable Filter design.  There may or
may not be SVF chips out there, but there certainly are a thousand 
SVF schematics.  The design is basically three or four op-amp's, some
resistors and two capacitors (the two 2200pf polystyrenecaps you see on the
board next to the SID.  The op-amps are connected as two integrators
with negative feedback.  SVF circuits will still always differ from the SID's filter, 
however, because the SID analog portions are more like hybrid digital and
analog.  Specifically, the op-amp's are not linear.  This causes all kinds
of subtle coloring of the sound which will vary with the volume of a voice.

an excellent source of information on this stuff is the interview
with Bob Yannes:  http://stud1.tuwien.ac.at/~e9426444/sidpage.html  

hope this helps!
