It is -massively- used.

What you're describing is playing via the cheap sound card General MIDI
patch-compatible sound cards, like the Waveblaster (Sounblaster with a
wavetable synth built in) or similar. But MIDI is sound-independent:
it's the score, the receipt, not the sound itself.

I would -love- to have a modern, up to date SID2MIDI. I work in Logic
on the Mac, run various SID emulation instruments like QuadraSID (now
discontinued sadly). If you're starting a remix, you can do a lot worse
than start from the original MIDI. Feed the original MIDI into a modern
emulation and start playing with the sounds - excellent.

Will take a look. Also holding out hope for a Mac version too if it's
at all possible.


Cheers,
Ian
