subject: New SID to MIDI conversion tool

Heyas!

I'm pleased to announce that very soon I will be uploading my new SID to
MIDI conversion tool onto GitHub.

If there is anyone else interested in it, I will expedite the process.

So far, it has these features:

- Very accurate instrument/patch detection (complex waveform shaping detected)
- Very accurate timing reproduction (customisable BPM and Division)
- Allows for complex MIDI mapping (Drum Mode, Note Mode, Chord Mode)
- Can output dumps for playback on SID emulation of each instrument/patch
or just the filters
- Open source!

It is part of my XSID file tool-chain, much of which is already up on
GitHub. I have created the XSID tools to manage SID files outside of the
emulation. An XSID file is already very much like a MIDI file but is for
playback on a SID emulator and allows 
for playback without the emulation of the CPU and CIAs.

I must apologise for the name since I became aware that there is already a
C64 composition tool with that name. I just don't have a better one at the
moment.

Also, I must also apologise for the fact that the tools are currently only
available on Windows. In theory, I could compile Linux and MacOS versions
but I am missing a few technical skills required for translating the
LibReSIDFP and LibSIDPlay library 
wrappers I've created to GCC and also the time required for actually doing
it. I am investigating but it will take a while. I'm very open to help with
this.

Let me know your thoughts!


Daniel.
