After reading your post, I thought it would be cool to get a C64 and a couple of games. I had a look at Ebay and came to the conclusions that they are cheaper here than in Sweden. So...after buying a shitload of C64 stuff (4 consoles, 7 joysticks, 2 diskdrives & hundreds of original games + a light gun) I had a go at Sanxion (classic shoot'em up). The engine sound in Sanxion is a basically a PWM-osc with a lowpass filter and as the speed increases, the cutoff freq is raised. It sounds...brutal! Therefore, I decided to build a Midibox as well and I've just ordered a the kits necessary from SmashTV.
I think I'm going to build something similar to yours (I'll try at least) but I'll leave some of the LEDs out for now. I do want a cutoff freq knob though, and a display.

my new hardware : MidiBox SID...
2006-08-26T15:26:33+00:00
Hello,
I found this DIY project http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid.html 2 or 3 months ago in a KVR thread and decided to give it a try....
This is maybe the reason why i don't write music anymore... (I hope so...)
For those who don't know what a SID is, it is the sound chipset of the old commodore 64.
I've just finished my box.... which is not as nice as the one on the website but i'm happy to have made it working.
This was not very complicated to do. But it takes much time...
And costed more than expected.
Here are some pictures of my new (and only one) hardware synth :D
