[sdiy] SID

[Jim Patchell]

    If I remember correctly, the SID has only 3 oscilators, so at best,
you will get 3 voice polyphony.  The thing only has 1 filter, so in many
ways, it would be best suited for mono.  A long time ago, I had planned
on making a 4 voice synth using 4 of the chips...never did anything
beyound buying one of the chips.  Then they became unavailiable, so I
gave the chip away....too bad, in a way.

    It would be fairly easy to duplicate what this chip did in an FPGA,
but, that would sortof defeat the simplicity of the whole thing.
