The MIDISID Beast: Eighteen SID Chip Voices!

We've covered the MIDISID a few times on the site, with an introduction video as well as a Max4Live Editor for programming and automation. Here we have the MIDISID Beast, which knocks out a STUNNING selection of SID voices from 3 units, 18 Voices to be precise! MIDISID is an intriguing 6-Oscillator Synthesizer from Sheila Dixon, which utilises dual Nano SwinSIDs to recreate the sound of the classic C64 SID chip. Here's what she says: 

It has long been a dream of mine to build a version of MIDISID with 6 SIDs making 18 voices. The MIDISID Beast if you will. Here I hook up 3 regular MIDISIDs to test the idea. https://peacockmedia.software/midisid/

Excellent stuff, and we believe Paulee now has one too!
