Siel Midi Interface for Commodore 64 & Sinclair ZX Spectrum
The Siel Midi interface allows the connection of one or more electronic synthesizers to a C64 or a Spectrum.
The interface communicates with the instruments through a standard communication protocol developed expressly for the interconnection of electronic instruments and called MIDI (Musical Instruments Digital Interface).
Produced by the Italian SIEL, manufacturer of popular electronic keyboards in the 80s, this MIDI interface is equipped with appropriate software application that also allows you to compose music, archive the compositions and listen to them again, save and program instrument timbres and other things.
The device is supplied with a special connector enabling immediate connection to the Commodore 64 and Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

i’m looking for a copy of the siel midi software, but the link is broken, do you still have it?
@ewan colsell
The links works perfectly, tried now.
thanks, it turns out that my browser (chrome) won’t downloaded it because it does not recognise the ssl cert.
safari is ok with it though.
thanks.
i have a schematic for the siel midi interface, email me if you want a copy!

Ciao,
Si certo, grazie e sarebbe molto interessante se lo potessi poi condividere per tutti aggiungendo un nuovo Download al post qui presente.
Ciao, il link per scaricare il software non funziona… ma è quello della CMK49?
Allora non è quello delle Midi ma della tastiera Siel con interfaccia diretta.
Grazie ;)
Would be great to have the original tape or the sampled one of the zx spectrum software, please help me, thanks
MIDi interfaces for the commodore 64 are very expensive today.
Luckily you can easily build your own with a few $ investment.

Hope it helps :)
