   It is -massively- used.   
      
   What you're describing is playing via the cheap sound card General MIDI   
   patch-compatible sound cards, like the Waveblaster (Sounblaster with a   
   wavetable synth built in) or similar. But MIDI is sound-independent:   
   it's the score, the receipt, not the sound itself.   
      
   I would -love- to have a modern, up to date SID2MIDI. I work in Logic   
   on the Mac, run various SID emulation instruments like QuadraSID (now   
   discontinued sadly). If you're starting a remix, you can do a lot worse   
   than start from the original MIDI. Feed the original MIDI into a modern   
   emulation and start playing with the sounds - excellent.   
      
   Will take a look. Also holding out hope for a Mac version too if it's   
   at all possible.
