Surprised nobody has mentioned the MIDIbox SID project

talk of SID chips. I know Arduino is more in vogue these days but is
there any specific reason people don't like this project? I assume
most of you must know about it... I believe MIDIbox/UCapps was the
first open source DIY MIDI controller project I knew about personally
anyway :)

Much effort/money to get too much secondary noise. Instead of using a
C64 and DIY, I would take a look at Ebay and e.g. get
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Roland%2BMT-32
The MT-32 provides the sounds that are provided by many free sound
fonts, I guess most fonts sampled the MT-32 sounds. Less people are
aware that the MT-32 pseudo analog section can be programmed and that it
does produce some very good virtual analog sounds.
I own one, but don't use it anymore. But I used it a lot with the C64
and Atari ST. IIRC there also is a Linux software available to edit it,
but I might be mistaken.
