Time to satisfy your retro cravings! I revisited this old project recently and did some well needed updates. It is a polysynth based on (real) commodore SID's. It accepts up to four of them and supports both 8580 and 6581 variants. Control is done over a shared 1MHz parallel bus from the Teensy 4.1 (this was challenging mainly due to my inexperience). The audio from each SID is routed through a dual WM8731 codec and there are a added effects from the audio library (to be expanded further).
This project would not have been possible without the Teensy and the audio library. Also I can not stress enough how much I have learned on this journey which all started by discovering that there are alternatives to those drab Arduino Uno's.
Here are a few examples, basically its just me having fun with my creation which is always satisfying. Hoping to do a technical/build video later. Cheers!
