SID

Firmware for using the MOS 6581 SID as a MIDI synthesizer.

Also:

1. A fritzing sketch that somewhat describes the wiring on the hand-soldered shield I use
2. A Max4Live object to control the SID through Ableton Live:

Status

Works on my machine™ (Macbook, Arduino Micro, 6581 + shield).

Build

make deps # install dependencies
make test# run the unit tests
make upload # compile and upload to the arduino

• The SID specsheet, converted to text. Good example of technical writing, but fuzzy wrong on some details
• The Insidious manual, which documents a lot of subtle SID characteristics
