MIDI controlled SID, was flying faders, was [sdiy] keyboard resources

[John L Marshall]

The "Commodore 64 Programmer's Reference Guide" has 25 pages dedicated to
the 6581SID.

I am unclear as to why people are building dedicated single board computers
to control the SID. A single board computer already exists with plenty of
RAM, ROM and I/O. The processor is a popular but mature 8 bit type and it is
easy to program. This single board has enough speed and power to program the
6581 in realtime.The addition of MIDI I/O has already been done. I'm talking
about the Commodore 64. Cheap and plentiful.
