Many of you are probably familiar with Stereo Sidplayer, that wonderful PD program which reads Sidplayer files and tickles two SID chips at once. When version 10.x came out (up to 10.1 or 10.2 by now), the author announced plans for a MIDI module to be available in the future. Does anyone know if this MIDI capability was ever completed for Stereo Sidplayer (thereby transforming it into version 11.x)? I did run across a stereo MIDI player written by a different person, but it patched into the playback process *after* vibrato, portamento, and other special effects and put out MIDI events that sounded pretty terrible. Craig Chamberlain's mono MIDIplayer really sounds excellent, but I've been relatively unsuccessful in disassembling it with intentions of building a stereo version.

It corrects a few bugs from v10.2 and adds support for a couple of compressed graphics picture formats. Mark has still not released his MIDI module yet, and has in fact quit talking about it. The last I heard, he was thinking of re-writing the whole thing from the ground up to clean it up. Maybe he has run out of memory?!
