Steve Duda's SIDstation

A Hotline viewer who passes himself off as Derek wrote to us about a page he found while looking up information about the SID chip (An underrated synth-chip used in the Commodore64 to play music and sampled audio) Derek came across a page for the SidStation, a MIDI controlled synth with a SID chip for a heart. The SID station is a real unique synth with features found nowhere else, and makes really good video-gamey bleeps and bloops :) Anyhow, the page he visited had a photo section in it with shots of Steve Duda's studio area at Nothing Studios. Steve Duda's listed in The Fragile for "additional sound design" and has remixed for 12 Rounds, Rob Zombie. In addition to working with NIN, Steve has worked with Tommy Lee (Methods of Mayhem) and Mickey Hart.
