Does anyone know of a linux based synth that emulates
the sound of the
C64 SID chip? I would love to use that sound in some pieces, but I
have never been able to find anything very usable.
Perhaps something could be used from the libsid/libsidplay libraries??
Sidplay2 uses ReSID for sound emulation. There are two other programs I
know of that use this library:
* Goattracker (http://cadaver.homeftp.net) but you have to be familiar
with a tracker interface and some SID internals
* VICE C64 emulator (http://www.viceteam.org)
Try Paul Slocum's Cynthcart (http://qotile.net/cynthcart.html) or the
good old JCH editor (http://chordian.dk/files.htm?c64) with its cool
polyplay mode for realtime play on the computer keyboard.
Another option is Legasynth
(http://www.reduz.com.ar/cheesetronic/index.php?section=4), but I don't
think this sounds very close to a real SID.
Or search for some SID samples and use them with a sampler like
specimen.

Sebastian
