Anyone interested in a new Sid Card for Plus/4

Hello,

I am Csio from Plus/4 and i know the whole 8bit scene are multiplatform in these times, so that's why i simply ask the c64 scene too:
Would you like a new sid card for your Plus/4?

We started a new project. If you want to visit this, click

The only reason I'm interested in the SIDcard is because, unfortunately, people don't put TED tunes in their demos too often, even though you *can* get nice tunes out of it.

Yeah, I think that's too bad that so many Plus4-sceners shun their own hardware.
Hey guys, the Plus4 HAS sound capabilites built in, use them!

It isn't actually that hard to write a simple, but yet very flexible player, and a likewise quite simple editor, but yet useable enough. Even though I won't blame anyone for wanting a SID in their machine, I also think that cool things could be made with the TED. I mean... At 1.76 MHz you could even do some nice wave-table synthesis if you wanted to. Mixing two "digi channels" into one of the TED channels, and using the square/noise capabilities of the other channel...

...and even if you stick to square wave and noise (and a lower rastertime consumption), you could do nice things.

The tragic lack of a good editor/tracker/whatever to compose TED music has been the main deterrent. Moreover, in the early 90ies, the Plus/4 sceners would prefer between using SIDcard or pass a SID tune thru a FRQ conversion (a SID tune played via TED sound)or WAVE conversion (a SID tune played via TED simulationg waveforms with little digi slices, time expensive!).
The "use-native-capabilities" philosophy is somewhat appreciated in recent times. About me, I'm completely agree with you, our recent "Adventures in Time" platform game tried to push TEDsound at its best (haha, best!).

All examples of nice TED tunes. Especially the first 2.

The SIDcard redux after 18 years is somewhat more related to the past of the Plus/4 scene, and it won't affect the path of any future release :)
Look at me, I don't compose a SID tune in years. Omg I should try it back, at this point... :O

I've always been interested in the possibilities of SID + TED. Especially if the TED sound were routed through the SID's audio in. Five audio channels!

Our XeO3 project (yes, Mike's still busy :( ) has TED sfx and SID tune for example. With this new SIDcard probably you can do what you wished to ;)
Apropos, here comes some prototype's pics:
