What makes a good SID editor?
So which feature(s) do you think are imporant?
What do you find annoying in an editor?
I'm trying to get an idea of what would make an editor stand out...
Ofcourse I have some ideas of my own but I'd first like to hear from other composers what they like.

Quote: Geir: updating player code, in the case of filter as it's separate from everything else, is straightforward. However to support 11-bit filter fully there should be 11 bits wide data field for at least "set cutoff", possibly also for "modulation step", and then we start dealing with conversion of old songs, toggleable 8-bit mode for those who still want the old behaviour etc.
For that reason 11-bit filter for GT2 would be better off implemented as a thirdparty hack, that simply wouldn't have to care :)
Don't think of supporting old songs. Let the people adjust the tables themselves for the new settings. Otherwise you just get a headache. This is not gonna give us tits'n'chicks, or free beer on the table anyway. ;)
GT3 and SDI3. Why not? |

Well, speaking of hacking... it would be beneficial if you could provide a little guide on the library requirements and setups in order to recompile GT. Me being a C programmer as well, even I'm finding it hard to set up in order to do some hacking for my own benefit. :) |

There are recompiling instructions in GT2's readme, which tell the fairly basic requirements (MinGW compiler + SDL development libraries)
I know it's not a step-by-step tutorial on setting up or using them, which I understand can be slightly painful, but I don't think that's my job :)

A good editor is also an assembler with a decent music routine. ;-) |

I'd like to see an editor that lets me whistle a melody in the microphone of my Datel 8-bit sampler and turns it into a compo winning tune. |

No, I can do that remarkably well in tune, although I gotta practice the arpeggios. |
