Greetings and apologies for the cross-posting, the question seemed
fitting for both newsgroups.

Apart from the usual conversion of SIDs to a WAV format through either
SidPlay/W or the SidAMP-DiskWriter combo, is there any other conversion
program or method? To be specific, I'm looking for a converter that
would transcribe it into MIDI, or better yet, any tracker format
(s3m/it/xt/mod) for easier resampling. I'm interested in how exactly
SIDs tick, so using a mod-format woul help me track the melodies on all
channels.

Thanks in advance.

alt.c64 is obsoleted by comp.sys.cbm, so nothing really fits there...

I don't recommend using SidAmp, as it's buggy and several years out of date.
Newer plugins exist for XMPlay/foobar2000/Winamp5 which can do what SidAmp
does, and better (check the HVSC website for links to those).

As for MIDI conversion, there is a tool called SID2MIDI which might do what
you want. It's shareware, you can find more info on the home page:
