The c64 as well as the later commodore home pc's had some synthesis
possibilities. The sounds of the 64's SID chip were/are pretty interesting,
and it's my impression that somewhere in the world people are still using
them to make music. But 'best sounds possible' is pretty subjective, and as
far as that kind of thing goes I think the atari's with the midi ports beat
the 64 hands down.
