 ==== The Synth ====
 SIDaster is the combination of:
-  * a shield for operating the MOS6581 from Commodore using an Arduino board.
+  * an Arduino shield - [[SIDaster Shield]] - for operating the MOS6581 from Commodore using an Arduino board.
-  * an Arduino Synth engine that translates Midi commands to the SID to generate Sound.
+  * an Arduino software Synth Engine - [[SIDaster Synth]] - that translates Midi commands to the SID to generate Sound.
-It responds to Midi note messages for tone playing, and Midi Control Change commands for sound patching. It is planned to include features such as multipleplaying modes, patch sound saving/loading, and improved playability using PitchBend / modulation controls.
+It responds to Midi note messages for tone playing, and allows sound patching through Receiveing specific Midi messages. It is planned to include features such as multipleplaying modes, patch sound saving/loading, and improved playability using PitchBend / modulation controls.
 The Synth is currently in Beta version, the shield schematic has been breadboard validated and is under prototype construction.
