If yr interested in that kind of thing you might like to check out my
commodore64 synthesizer software: http://mccormick.cx/viewcvs/aSid/
which you can build using the cc65 compiler and put on your commodore 64
using the MMC64 sd-card-to-c64-cartridge converter (google it).
Plug in a couple of analogue paddles and you have a moogy synthesizer
for ten bucks/pounds!

Best,
