The PC contains a HardSID card which is controlled by a custom piece of software. The Yamaha V50 keyboard is plugged into the PC using MIDI and sends MIDI note on and note off messages. The Behringer BCR2000 control surface is also plugged into the PC using MIDI and sends MIDI controller change (CC) messages. The custom software receives both types of messages and writes SID chip register changes to the HardSID card.
The functions on the BCR2000 knobs and buttons are as follows:
