How do multiple SIDs work?

HI,

I just watched this video of a MidiBox SID on YouTube:

Are all 4 SID chips working together to create one sound?

Can I expect such great sound from one chip?

Mostly I want to know how many SID chips I need to get that great 303 sound!!

So excited to have discovered this site. Now if I could just get me some 8580’s…

gmorning

This lovely sound is created by 1 chip

You see the 4 buttons in the left top corner…there are the sid-buttons…if u want to play 2 or more SIDs together you push 2 or more sid-buttons at one time…so are multiple SIDs activated to play

Regards

MTE

Another question: If I want to do the full control surface do I need to do multiple SIDs? This isn’t really clear on the homepage.

Thnks

No, you just need one SID, slave SIDs are optional.
