Sidplay2 uses ReSID for sound emulation. There are two other programs I
know of that use this library:

* Goattracker (http://cadaver.homeftp.net) but you have to be familiar
  with a tracker interface and some SID internals

* VICE C64 emulator (http://www.viceteam.org)

Try Paul Slocum's Cynthcart (http://qotile.net/cynthcart.html) or the
good old JCH editor (http://chordian.dk/files.htm?c64) with its cool
polyplay mode for realtime play on the computer keyboard.

Another option is Legasynth
(http://www.reduz.com.ar/cheesetronic/index.php?section=4), but I don't
think this sounds very close to a real SID.

Or search for some SID samples and use them with a sampler like
specimen.

regards,
