No, i always thought that everybody knows how the SID chip sounds.
But if more people are *really* interested, i could add some sound samples
to the MonoVoice page.

I do not know if this is possible. Usually i access the SID directly with it´s registers,
and i have never had the chance to use a sidstation.

But another "strange" idea: My MonoVoice has a more or less standard MIDI command
set (Note on/off, pitchbend, some controller changes to set different parameters)
Does anybody feel that it would be cool to add a "direct register write" mode so one could
immediately write into the SID´s registers via MIDI ? This would enable people to write their
own Sequencers/trackers and to do all the strangest things with the sound chip....
