Hello d2k!

It the same! But not earlier. It was for a prototyp from a C65.

Picture of the developer:

@Monster SID Specs:

- Classic SID Emulation (including address mirroring)

- Monster SID Mode

- 16 stereo SID voices (1-8 left, 9-16 right)

- Sync and Ring Modulation and filtering on all voices

- Extra voices mapped in order after the first three

- DMA audio

- 8 Stereo voices (4 left, 4 right)

- 64k internal sound memory (sound or instruments) as well as access to main CPU memory for playing DMA clips

- Variable sample playback rate

- Audio resolution of 8 bits

- DMA segment playback can be either continuous (loop) or one-shot (note/segment)

- two sockets for classic SID chips, Monster SID audio can be routed through their analog filters (prpared for more analog audio routing)

But which Chip ist the MonsterSID?

Note that there are two sockets on the C1 for SIDs.  I'd assume then that "Monster SID"  means that the SIDs can be  stacked as in the Midibox SID and/or used in a superpoly mode as the Midibox SID hopefully soon will be.

i remember reading a while ago that indeed jeri (that woman) designed a new chip that was a monster sid; its not just a name for multiple sids inside the machine. I looked at the schematics of this about a year ago and i seem to remember the 'sid' that she designed being  incorporated into the same ICs that control joystick input.

She's also the person who designed the c64-direct-to-tv joystick gadget thing, which had all of the c64 recreated on one single IC. (it was even possible to hack the thing and add a keyboard, joystick, and disk drive to it) The reviews i read of that said that she 'faithfully' recreated the 6851 for this toy, although i don't know how connossierre the reviewers were in sid-dom. :)
