Suppose it's kind of not used much anymore unless you are > professional musician. It is -massively- used. What you're describing is playing via the cheap sound card General MIDI patch-compatible sound cards, like the Waveblaster (Sounblaster with a wavetable synth built in) or similar. But MIDI is sound-independent: it's the score, the receipt, not the sound itself. I would -love- to have a modern, up to date SID2MIDI. I work in Logic on the Mac, run various SID emulation instruments like QuadraSID (now discontinued sadly). If you're starting a remix, you can do a lot worse than start from the original MIDI. Feed the original MIDI into a modern emulation and start playing with the sounds - excellent. Will take a look. Also holding out hope for a Mac version too if it's at all possible.
