Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

hey I'm just throwing it out there because I'm a full on Newbie Idiot, But  any ideas on adding a 6580 or 6581 Sid chip to a Picomite or Maximize for sound synth ? like I say I'm a Full on nut job going inside thinking how much you get to of a $4 board vs. what my C64 cost when I was a kid and what can be done with it

There is a demo on here for the CMM2 that simulates a number of old-school synthesizers chips quite well including the SID.  Check it out and a lot more on a software repository for the CMM3 https://cmm2.fun/listAuthor.php?id=2 The Progam is called PSGmini and show how the CMM2 hardware is very capable of producing rather advanced sound.

There is a SID emulator included in the Companion

Would be cool if this were resurrected but maybe with the Picomite. I have all the files.

Edit: Instructables
