Does antone on the list have any really cool tops or tricks they'd like to 
share about their sidstations? Any feedback would be appreciated.
                             Thank you,

Drums through the external input. Change filter types and cutoff. And
hear the sound go crazy!

Otherwise I'd recommend a noisegate. And filtersweeps. The sidsound is
often quite "wide" in it's frequency range, so sometimes you have to
eq out top or bottom to make it sit better in your mix.

For crazy video game type effects, you can set the S/H on an LFO to
somewhere between 2-5, and set it to modulate the vibrato. If you have
a keyboard w/ wheels, disable the usual modwheel settings and have your mod
wheel control the LFO add depth of the vibrato, and you can do very
funky things with the sound.

i like to process sid noise to add a nice ambient noise effect, 
sometimes i'll sync up an oscilator lfo and have it pulsating in and 
out in time with a sequence.  this is the noise i'm talking about. 
(tweak the time for a nice background effect)  Daniel of elektron had 
the suggestion of using a y cable on the output of the sid and run one 
of the leads on the y end into the input for a feedback loop.  i've yet 
to try that, but is a great idea.  THe arps, lfo's and tables are the 
best means to achieve interesting sounds. Control Oscilator volume with 
the sustain envelope parameter.


happy, happy

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.

thanks for the tip.  after i gave it some thought i realized you'd 
benefit most from being able to adjust the gain going back into the 
sid....i was thinking in terms of mixer/patchbay routing(or maybe a 
dedicated preamp...eh)....but the sampler idea is great and wouldn't 
take much patching to get working.  


cheers,

You might get a slightly different, more phasing-like effect, from routing
through a sampler though. If the audio is going through AD/DA-conversion
there is a slight delay. This is probably also very cool, but I think it
would differ from the direct feedback I mentioned. This only gives a
different (more distinct with more resonance) filter characteristics.

well that was my idea :) daniel >>>> ? hehe

if you connect your output to your input of the SIDSTATION the sound 
actually get a bit more rough
and  panchy>>  the filter also get a virtual  +4 to add to the resonance :)
so here you go :)

didnt ment to send the same post  twice m new to this !

but now i wonder who is the person that's gona blow the sidstation to the 
air :)                                                by connecting an 18k 
sound system to the sid's input
now that the  secret went out :)


sidstation + plug-ins =  realy good  bonding

Another cool Idea to control the "feedback input volume" would be to do it with AUX on your mixer.
I think I´ll try that version, because I want to know how it sounds, when other sounds
come in the feedback-mix too.
