   I have also developed a relatively extensible and very configurable MIDI To   
   SID (XSID) program.  At the moment it only does output to XSID reliably.  I   
   seem to have messed up the port of the SID Wizard converter.  The SID Wizard   
   converter is a little    
   limited in comparison to the XSID converter, though.  I guess it would be   
   easier to play on the real machine however.  Maybe someone can write an XSID   
   player for HardSID?   
      
   @Ian:  My XSIDToMIDI program is definitely a step up from SID2MIDw.  Give it a   
   try.  I find doing multiple passes with different settings and combining those   
   in my DAW gives really awesome results.    
      
   I've been looking into how do to a Linux and MacOS port but I just don't have   
   the ability to port the C/C++ code library wrapper at the moment.  Also, there   
   seems to be an issue in the LZMA units when compiled with FPC/Lazarus.  Any   
   help would be greatly    
   appreciated.
