 +===== MOS6581 SOUND INTERFACE DEVICE (SID) =====
 The 6581 Sound Interface Device (SID) is a single-chip, 3 voice electronic music synthesizer/sound effects generator compatible with the 65XX and similar microprocessor families. SID provides wide-range, high-resolution control of pitch (frequency), tone color (harmonic content) and dynamics (volume). Specialized control circuitry minimizes software overhead, facilitating use in arcade/home video games and low-cost musical instruments. The 6581 Sound Interface Device (SID) is a single-chip, 3 voice electronic music synthesizer/sound effects generator compatible with the 65XX and similar microprocessor families.

 Together these registers form a 16-bit number which linearly controls the Frequency of Oscillator 1. The frequency is determined by the following equation:  Together these registers form a 16-bit number which linearly controls the Frequency of Oscillator 1. The frequency is determined by the following equation: 
  
-Fout = (Fn * Fclk/16777216) Hz +<math>Fout = (Fn * Fclk/16777216) Hz </math>
  
 Where Fn is the 16-bit number in the Frequency registers and Fclk is the system clock applied to the Ø2 input (pin 6). For a standard 1.0 Mhz clock, the frequency is given by:  Where Fn is the 16-bit number in the Frequency registers and Fclk is the system clock applied to the Ø2 input (pin 6).
