That’s funny, it’s working fine on my 1st gen iPhone. Are you running the latest system software?

Also, I think that the “step forward” with sampled and recorded digital music is also a step back. I think that there was a beauty in the huge synthesizers of the past, crafting a sound from base components to create something entirely different.

I swear the future was in the 80’s, and we’ve already passed it :p

Nice, I’ll give this a go. I sometimes plopbox.net (when javasound works on my mac…), so it will be nice to have the option on the iPhone :)

I still need to finish my Midibox SID. Got a 1xSID unit, but I’ve still got another SID chip in my parts box that needs a home. Stereo SID unit on the Horizon. (Then a midibox FM…)

And Alex, yep, you’re right. I got off on my other reverie and skipped over the basics. :)

Really? I can’t imagine what it’d need in the 2nd-gen touch. No mic required.

You forgot to write that a Sid player is a lot more than a simple player…its an emulator of a Sid chip and some of the other basic chips inside a Commodore 64…

Ha! nice! a sid player for iphone…any technical info on it? Is it better than Sidplay for Windows? Sidplay can emulate a 75% (if i remember well) of the famous sid sound…
