Sidstaion tips please.

2004-08-29 by Nothing

Hello. I have a sidstation, and I really love it, but I find it 
rather difficult to program what I want. Maybe it's not as difficult 
as I am making it out to be though. I have experience with synths and 
I would say I am an "intermediate" synth programmer. I would REALLY 
appreciate if anyone can give me, and the rest of the people who 
might want to know, some programming tips. I noticed there is quite a 
large Sidstation fanbase, but finding tips and guides/tutorials is 
nearly impossible. Can someone please share some of their sid 
programming knowledge? I would really like to know how to make those 
famous bleeps and blops the SID is known for. I am also looking to 
program more "usable" patches, such as leads that can be used 
melodically in a track. I have a feeling a lot of this lies in the 
wave table, but I am finding it difficult to grasp. The manual 
doesn't get deep enough into this IMO. Thank you in advance to anyone 
that can help point me in the right direction to sid programming.
