Sparks SID Chip Synth

This video walks through Sparks' internal polyphonic synthesizer that you can play with MIDI notes. The synth is inspired by the SID Chip but we wrote the code from scratch. It’s a powerful and flexible instrument when paired with all of the analog tools on Sparks. In this demo we cover how to get started, review the different controls, and touch on some more advanced MIDI topics.
