   New SID to MIDI conversion tool

   Heyas!   
      
   I'm pleased to announce that very soon I will be uploading my new SID to MIDI   
   conversion tool onto GitHub.   
      
   If there is anyone else interested in it, I will expedite the process.   
      
   So far, it has these features:   
      
   - Very accurate instrument/patch detection (complex waveform shaping detected)   
   - Very accurate timing reproduction (customisable BPM and Division)   
   - Allows for complex MIDI mapping (Drum Mode, Note Mode, Chord Mode)   
   - Can output dumps for playback on SID emulation of each instrument/patch or   
   just the filters   
   - Open source!   
      
   It is part of my XSID file tool-chain, much of which is already up on GitHub.   
   I have created the XSID tools to manage SID files outside of the emulation. An   
   XSID file is already very much like a MIDI file but is for playback on a SID   
   emulator and allows    
   for playback without the emulation of the CPU and CIAs.   
      
   I must apologise for the name since I became aware that there is already a C64   
   composition tool with that name. I just don't have a better one at the moment.   
      
   Also, I must also apologise for the fact that the tools are currently only   
   available on Windows. In theory, I could compile Linux and MacOS versions but   
   I am missing a few technical skills required for translating the LibReSIDFP   
   and LibSIDPlay library    
   wrappers I've created to GCC and also the time required for actually doing it.   
   I am investigating but it will take a while. I'm very open to help with this.   
      
   Let me know your thoughts!   
      
      
   Daniel.
