This demonstration highlights a hardware Commodore 64 being MIDI-controlled as a synthesizer, leveraging the new ASID Player included with the TeensyROM Hardware Cartridge. The ASID Player transmits ASID packets and writes to SID registers at unprecedented speeds, enabling real-time synthesis parameter adjustments.
When paired with Plogue’s renowned Chipsynth C64 software instrument and your preferred DAW, the TeensyROM ASID Player becomes an unparalleled solution. Nearly every feature of Chipsynth C64, including patches, can be seamlessly streamed as ASID data to a TeensyROM-enabled Commodore 64 or 128, bridging the gap between software precision and hardware authenticity.
