SID Symphony (Live Commodore C64 Bassline + Access Virus C)

Sequenced and played live - using eight 25+ year old Commodore 8580 SIDs in a beautiful MB6582 package. Some other synths were used, too, but the SID sound is unique :-) MIDIbox SEQ ftw!

Thanks for listening!

I have a V-Synth too and my MB-6582 parts will be here too. Building a MIDIBox FM and a Seq unit too. I have my LPC board ready to go :)

@6581punk sounds good - have lots of fun building & playing it! :-)

@EFKA526 Thanks :) You are so right, the SID chip is a masterpiece, enjoying it since 1986 :)

@RinghausenMusic Danke! Das ist ein MIDIbox Seq V4. Mehr Infos, auch wie man ihn selber baut unter ucapps dot de und midibox dot org :-). Ein wirklich geniales Teil und in der "Lite"-Version ab ca 60€ zu bauen :).

@Maelstroem3 Will do, I finished my Core 3 board today for the FM. Got a 3U 19" rack for it, plastic but sturdy enough. Just awaiting the oscillator and some bits so I can test out the FM board.

@curritmotrance I think the FM synthesis just didn't have the correct interface. All the knobs were removed and people just played presets. I think it's a shame that FM is overlooked as if you add filters and FX to it then it can sound good. A lot of FM bass sounds were used in the 90s. I do love my SID sounds too.
