[SIDplayer / ASID Application for OS X?]

UPDATED: These steps work with MacOS Catalina 10.15.2:

1. Download and compile midi_patchbay from here: https://github.com/notahat/midi_patchbay

2. Download and compile SIDPlayer 4.2, with TK's modified ASID code here: https://github.com/mselin/sidplay4-asidmod

3. If you're a N00B like me, you'll need to create a developer ID with Apple and substitute this for the DevID in the code, as well as the team name, in order for builds to work. This might be obvious for a real developer, but I had to feel my way through that

4. Start midi_patchbay, then start SIDPlayer

5. Go back to midi_patchbay and configure the MIDI input as ASID OUT and set the MIDI output to your MIDI interface

6. Power on your MIDIBox SID, then switch back to SIDPlayer. You should now be able to play SIDs with no issues! (very cool indeed!)

However, you'll notice that SIDPlayer doesn't seem to recognize or support any 2SID or 3SID files (I.e., tracks from Jammer, PCH, MCH, etc.).

Would be wonderful to know if someone has managed to work that out!

 

Cheers~  

 

I managed to get this working, sort of. I built the to two applications and it runs, but the performance is bad.

The playback is very choppy and distorted. I think I read somewhere that this could be due the midi interface. Which interface are you using?
