SID register editor

I am looking for something to play around with SID register values with immediate audible results.

Like set triangle here, ringmod there, tweak ADSR, toggle gate again, slide a frequency, etc.

Does something like that exist or do i need to roll my own? =)

Since a lot of the cooler sounds are all about modulation, and simple LFOs aren't quite capable enough, you quickly end up in table land (especially for waveform switching, but also pulse trickery). So the best tools for the job are typically tracker-like tools.
Things might be different with a real hardware device exposing all SID parameters as knobs and CV inputs.
But assuming you want your parameters to be modulated by code, it's hard to beat tables.

Can't afford much software modulation for my purposes (mostly frequency and gate switching about twice a frame), but i do have all 3 voices at my disposal.

So i'm investing into ringmod soundscape init-once update-never stuff and such mostly.
But finding nice enough settings is a chore without a dedicated interface. =)

If you are willing to add gate and freq switching you're already close to allowing a table approach. If execution time is scarce I'd suggest a table allowing changing a single register at a time with a countdown until next change.
That will allow you to do quite complex sound scapes. Once a frame should be enough for slowly evolving sounds.
If you can allow for two or more such tables, more or less infinite patterns could be made.Quoting Krill

That is just the kind of stuff i want to explore. I have used these things in the past (see +H4K and Zoompinski [512 bytes]), but the turnaround time for tweaking values in a source file is just too long.

Well, i'm using tables, but they only have note resolution. Playing a little melody on the ringmod soundscape. :)
