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.

Sincerely,
