Documenting the Making of a MIDIBox SID

I made a simple and quick video documenting the making of my MIDIBox SID.

The MIDIBox SID is a DIY synthesizer, based off of the MOS Technology SID sound chip, the 8-bit sound source of the commodore 64 computer.

Although the synthesizer i made is not 100% finished it is still operational and i thought since there isn't a lot of information on youtube about the MIDIBox SID makeup, this might help some people to understand the process a little bit better.

For more information on the MIDIBox SID please check these sites.

Destroying a C64 ! That idea makes me sick. I hope you did it with a secondary computer. 8S

Anyway that sound rocks both the SID sounds and what you achieved to do with. ;)
