i had a mail exchange with thosten regarding this matter:
“editing and saving sounds in sid without the control surface”.
yes, there is jsynth, which lets you edit the wavetables and do other wonderful things.
the problem is this one: if you edit the sound with a midicontroller (midibox) or with a control surface in sonar/logic, you will not be able to save your sound creation.
thorsten said that a solution would be just to add the button “edit” with the respective led to the core: when you press the “edit” button (if i understood well), the modifications to the sound are immediately stored in the patch (correct?)
my suggestion: it would be interesting to add a sysex command to the sid that enables the “edit” without having the physical button. in this way you can control the sid with the midibox, for example, and store the sound in realtime.
since this was just a single request of mine, i’m asking if someone thinks that this idea is good and if it would provide some enhancement to the sid design (if it is implementable!!)
