I haven’t heard of Jeri Ellsworth in a while but every time her name pops up around my news feed is because she’s done something awesome.
This time she has made an hybrid bass guitar-SID chip thing, controlled by an FPGA and using a real SID chip to play the sounds (from both the strings and the Commodore keyboard).
Enough blabber, check out an interview and demo on the first part of this video:
Extra keys for laptop users: [ and ] change the speed; { and } change the framecall counter; + and – in the sequencer change the base octave value.
Packer updated to handle subtunes.
Absolute notes were affected by slides in the player.
Keyjam mode: press Ctrl-Space or Caps Lock and use the note keys to play the active instrument. Works only with the latest player (CC03.30). With older players (e.g. those used by the example tunes) you get no audio.
Most windows can be activated by a mouse click; mouse wheel is also usable. Some statusline elements are clickable too (try “speed” and “rate”-fields).

My newest release, Commodore 64 with SID chip 6581 running Mssiah. Check it out if you like C64 mixed with vocals.
Sid Master 99 is a PEB interface cards that integrates an MOS 6581 or MOS 8580 SID chip into the architecture of the TI99/4A as a memory mapped device. It can be accessed through any language that allows normal CPU memory access such as assembly language, Extended BASIC etc. If you can do a CALL LOAD or equivalent then you can access the SID chip. A new vista of never before heard sounds can now be played through your TI99/4A. No sound cables required. It is completely compatible with the existing sound chip on the computer and plays through your monitor or TV..
Just added my latest project:
