SID = the sound chip from the Commodore 64. This site has interviews with musicians who wrote music for Commodore 64 video games, and a SID simulator that runs under Linux, Windows, and others. The sound quality is terrific! Plus there are hundreds and hundreds of songs you can download on this site, too.
Write Sidtunes from a PC! Output them as .sid files! Super-Sweet! Uneeda copy of this!

The entire original manual from the C64 Programmer's Reference Guide, scanned in at good quality! Enjoy!
Remember the sound chip in the Commodore 64? Well, these Swedish guys managed to build a synthesizer around it, with MIDI, some realtime controllers, and an arpeggiator. It comes in a box like a Roland x0x box, and it sounds really good, too.
