This made me think of how wonderful it would be to take a project like
"Sidplay" (http://sidplay2.sourceforge.net/) and make a virtual synth out
of it. Alternatively, there is a hardware remake that uses the original
SID chip 6581 from the C64 and has some MIDI stuff built around it -
see http://www.sidstation.com
Just sharing his thoughts,
