I was at X2024 this weekend where Thomas Jansson, a.k.a. Tubesockor and I did a presentation about Sidfactory 2 and hardware support.
Sidfactory 2 allows you to compose Commodore 64 music on your modern Windows, macOS or Linux computer. It emulates the SID sound chip and produces files that run on the real Commodore 64 home computer.
Thanks to the ASID protocol, and Thomas’ work on integrating it into SidFactory 2, you can now connect actual hardware synths with real SID chips inside to SidFactory 2, to have the real hardware experience with the convenience of using your own computer.
In this talk I give a quick introduction about SidFactory 2. After that Thomas will demonstrate what you can do when you integrate the TherapSID, a hardware synth with real SID chips inside.

It was excellent meeting Thomas in real life for the first time, after we met and worked on the ASID integration online.
P.S. Thomas made his SID music debut a day earlier in the music competition with his tune Debut & Credit. My entry in the same competition was Freakandel
