SID converting is much more easier, that is why it became common.
Anyway: true that TED can produce nice sounds, but the capatity is far away from the SID, and if a musician wanted to do something that abilities far away from his/her needs...

I know him of course: he can be found on IRC channel #amigahu sometimes! He worked with his own player, but there was no editor for. (As I heard.)

Terra Nova's music made by David Whittaker (or something similar...),
who was a fameous computer musician in the '80s and early '90s.

Those are used the ripped musics from games. Yes, those were nice.
(TPPC and Absurd wrote a couple of such demos.)

That was lame, but I saw one a really nice. It can produce pseudo-
ADSR, there was an instrument-editor, used tremolos and vibratos, but friend of mine wanted to keep it for himself, and it was never released..

Ahh! Another BUG: "Hellooo, my name is SAAAM. I am a software speech syntetiser for..." :)
My favorite was: "To beee, or not to beee..."
