    Long shot but who knows…

    There was an awesome c64 music radio show on KDVS (the UC Davis radio station) back in the nineties, but I can find zero record of it existing. Does anyone on this thread know anything about it, or even perhaps have recordings?

    I wonder how hard it would be to make a SID using transistors, capacitors, resistors. The fact that no one has done it makes me think it's just too difficult.

      A light googlin says estimates are that the SID is maybe 2k transistors. I think a reasonable minimum is in the thousands.

    Each one would fit perfectly on USBSID-Pico

      Imagine a stack of 4 of them, nicely multi-timbral...
