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? =)

There was something like this in 64er magazine (iirc). Been looking for that for quite some time as well - it might be useful for testing :)

Not sure if i should, but if i will, it will probably be made in BASIC. Perfect language for that task! :)

May be too hack, but copy from screen to sid.

prolly not gonna happen as we're all too lazy but fieserwolf's SidInspector V1.1 would be a great inspiration for an interface, perferabbly controllable with joy

While not exactly what you are asking for, defMON is kind of designed to give relatively simple access to SID registers in flexible ways. Changes to SID registers could be more or less immediately hearable, depending on how you do it.

Of course it has a learning curve, which could be estimated as "hard" (considering there is no real documentation) or "quite easy" (if someone would just show you). In the latter case, I'd say you would be up and running in just a few minutes.

If you want something simpler, I have a file called "adsr-oscilloscope.prg" on my computer that I don't remember who coded. If you PM your email I could send it to you. It is quite limited, but allows some simple sound tweaking.

There are quite a few released sound effects editors that do stuff like this. Search for "sfx editor" or "sound fx editor" and similar.

Is this for exploring how the SID works or actually making sounds for a production?

While this isn't exactly what you're looking for it's pretty much related: RanSID.

Quoting tlr

The latter: first and foremost for artistic purposes, finding good-sounding settings. Maybe need to add that it should control all 3 voices/all registers, the tool suggested by Isildur seems to be focused on single-voice action (at a first cursory glance).
