We recommend a setting of around 20ms. (HCut = 2 at Speed = 100 Hz, or HCut = 4 at Speed
= 200 Hz)
For patches using the “gate”-envelope, there is no need for HCut The gate will override the SID
envelope, and the related bug will not be present anymore.
SidStation system/patch memory control menu (Mem)
The Mem sub-menu is where you restore the original factory settings:
This is a non-recoverable operation that will reset all settings to default, also erasing all patch
data. This is very useful if you’re experiencing problems with your machine. This could also
need to be done after some system upgrades. Also, if you have problems with the SidStation
locking up when entering the patch menu this could mean that the memory is corrupted and a
reset is needed. If you decide to proceed with this operation by pressing [ENTER], you are
prompted with the question:
Selecting “Y” and pressing [ENTER] will restore the factory settings from ROM. To abort and
keep the current data in memory simply select “N” and [ENTER].
Note: Since SidStation only stores patches in RAM no patches will be present after a
memory reset operation. To restore the factory patches you will have to download them
online from
www.sidstation.com and transfer them by SYSEX dump to your SidStation.
The ASID C64 song player
This selection sets up the SidStation for direct access of the SID chip. This allows the ASID
software (or compatible) on your computer to play Commodore 64 SID-songs directly on your
SidStation. After selecting ASID the screen will go blank and the SidStation waits for data from
host computer. Press a key on the keypad to exit this mode and restart the SidStation. Please
refer to the documentation that is included in the host application for your computer platform for
more information.
