Yes.. that should work fine.

I found getting sound out of the Yamaha based synths tricky,
although I worked it out eventually (need to scroll down with bar
on right hand side) but I can alter the sound fine on the SID
synth.. 

Do banks/new/MOS6581

than patchlist /patch config:

click osc1: change triangle to triangle+saw. You should see the
waveform underneath change, and the sound will change too..

It's pretty close to a C64.. I would really like to see a resid
based synth, but this is the next best thing!

It would be nice if someone would pick up legasynth for further
development too.. it seems like it has a lot of potential..
(although I guess Hexter is probably better for DX emulation
now).

Best wishes,

James
