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? =) |

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 tlrIs this for exploring how the SID works or actually making sounds for a production? 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). |

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. =) |
