SID Commodore 64 Commodore

SID

The Sound Interface Device, SID (MOS 6581 and MOS 8580, depending on version of the machine) is the sound synthetizer chip used in Commodore 64 and 128. SID has a distinct, addictive sound and its sound has - honestly said - magical qualities; No two SID chips sound exactly the same! This category contains links to SID tune collections, SID emulator software, SID hardware and remixes of famous SID tunes.
