DIY a SID Synth

We are analog guys but we grow up with Commodore64 tunes . Our goal here is to document the assembling of a SID Synth, a synth based on the SID chip. The SID was the chip used inside the Commodore64 console. Have a look! Comments are welcome!

Finally something started...

Finalmente dopo anni di silenzio Gord The Rogue torna all'attacco del SID Synth.
Questa volta le cose sono più semplici. Un caro amico, Tony Light, ha commissionato la realizzazione di un SID Synth ad un singolo chip (SID 6581) utilizzando i circuiti già realizzati da Tony stesso. Qua sotto trovate delle foto dei vari lavori in corso.

Finally something started, a friend of mine, Tony
 Light, needs help on building a mono chip SID Synth. He gave to Gord The Rogue two circuit boards (preassembled) and Gord today started the project. Here there are some photos of the work in progress.

What we got from Tony (we = Gord) the two boards, Core Module and SID Module. 
The Core Module with the PIC18F452 // PCB layout version 2.

The SID Module with the MOS chip 6581.

The enclosure, it was a Genius® joystick with arcade buttons.
