The SidStation is a MIDI-controlled synthesizer with real-time controllers. The heart of the SidStation is the sound generating chip from the classic home computer Commodore 64 – the MOS6581 also known as “the SID-chip”. Many synthesizers built today are made to fit a current trend to a specific market. SidStation is not one of them. It is built with love and dedication, and capable of producing expressive sounds that can not be recreated with any other instrument. It's a very unique-sounding marriage of analog and digital techniques. SidStation Ninja A limited edition SidStation model has now been released: Ninja, the dark avenger of the SID-family. It is silky black with clear blue LED's. This martial arts master also comes with a special set of patches originating from the domains of 8-bit chaos. The production is limited to 50 numbered units (serial 2000 to 2049). A full presentation can be found at the SidStation website. New operating system The SidStation OS v1.1 has also been released. New features include extended table-sequencing functions, now up to 65 steps per oscillator. Examples of how this sounds can be found at the updated SidStation website. The MIDI control system that was named “the worlds best” by reviewing magazines is now even more extended. Upgradekits are available free of charge for all SidStation users at the SidStation website. Direct sales Elektron is selling to customers all over the world, mostly through direct sales over the Internet. This allows the user to get support directly from the creators of the synthesizer.
