Ah yes, Yannes' SID chip. It was an amazing chip. Designed by the founder of Ensoniq, who now make shitty keyboards. But they used to make great gear, before the buyout.
The SID chip featured some marvelous technology, some of which is still incorporated in today's synths.
three separately programmable independent audio oscillators with an 8 octave range
four different waveforms per audio oscillator: sawtooth, triangle, pulse, noise
one multi mode filter featuring low-pass, high-pass and band-pass outputs with 6 dB/oct or 12 dB/octave rolloff.
three attack/decay/sustain/release volume controls, one for each audio oscillator.
three ring modulators.
oscillator sync for each audio oscillator.
I believe that was 1981. Amazing.

when i was knee high to a grasshopper in the mid 80's everyone i knew had a commodore 64 computer except me.i had a VIC20,the poor man's version.the only decent game for it was Frogger.it was the same in the 70's with the Chopper pushbike,everyone had one of those except me,i had a Tomahawk.
not that im bitter and twisted about it and still hold a grudge about it to this day,no siree not me.

commodore 64 is truly a cool machine.
what you can do with the sound source is realy phhenomenal.
ihad one with box but i sold it with my dumb head for 25euro,s

My friend build a synthasizer out of a sid chip.
Which was cool I thought.

yeah you can do loads of awesome things with it.
there are people who convert midi files in to sid files.
and people who integrate just what you said a sid chip type 6521 or 6532 if im correct in to the keyboard.
it makes wicked sounds

Personally, I think the Amiga took better advantage of it, but no more than the Apple IIgs. They put a 16-bit chip in there.
thats true the amiga sounds coool thanks to its 16bit chip but.......
an yamaha psr series keyboard can make this sounds 2
