Midi support for USBSID got a babystep forward, still deciding on what functionalities to use in which way. Borrowed CynthCart64's instruments for now to try some tunes. Using one SID per keypress at the moment (4 max, boohoo) #c64 #midi #chiptunes #skpico

After getting the #SKPico running again, I was thinking about how nice it'd be to have a little toy music visualizer for the #C64.

So I grabbed a [cheap] 4x32 rgb array and made one.  

The [featherwing, adafruit] "NeoPixel". Not officially supported by the rp pico, but Blazr's lib gets the job done.

Need to figure out how I wanna modify the C64 case now.

Maybe I'll make a lil video with some beep boops tomorrow.

Resurrected my SKPico. Added a socket this time.

It sounds like ReSID, but I enjoy it. :3

Ahhhhh the sense of accomplishment when you get a mod working is sooooo goood >////<

I only had to solder like 7 things for this lmao - the #PCM5102A DAC was [partially] prebuilt, and the #SKPico A5 to CPU pin 12 was a breeze.

The real challenge was cycling through firmware builds & versions until I landed on something that worked...!
